the adsorption study was conducted on three japanese soils with different soil properties to characterize the adsorption pattern of arsenic (as). double tube method was used to find out the effect of soil moisture levels on as adsorption. for this study, besides double tube method, conventional batch method also was used. the as adsorption showed two phase kinetics. an initial and rapid adsorpt...

Batch cryptography has been developed into two main branches batch verification and batch identification. Batch verification is a method to determine whether a set of signatures contains invalid signatures, and batch identification is a method to find bad signatures if a set of signatures contains invalid signatures. Recently, some significant developments appeared in such field, especially by ...

In this paper, a novel monitoring method for the repetitive batch operation with two-dimensional dynamic behavior is proposed. It combines dynamic multiway principal component analysis (DMPCA) and hidden segmental semi-Markov models (HSMM) to resolve the problem caused by the two-dimensional behavior of batch processes. DMPCA utilizes the batch-to-batch dynamic characteristics and eliminates th...

Batch size is an important issue in a supply chain system. It affects stock, cost, and service quality. This paper presents a batch-size decision method to determine the optimal batch size for a supply chain system. The goal of this method is to minimize the total cost of a supply chain at a reasonable service level. The proposed method first applies a mathematical model to finding the possible...

This paper describes a new method in pairing-based signature schemes for identifying the invalid digital signatures in a batch after batch verification has failed. The method more efficiently identifies non-trivial numbers, w, of invalid signatures in constrained sized, N , batches than previously published methods, and does not require that the verifier possess detailed knowledge of w. Our met...

As typical voice conversion methods, two spectral conversion processes have been proposed: 1) the frame-based conversion that converts spectral parameters frame by frame and 2) the trajectory-based conversion that converts all spectral parameters over an utterance simultaneously. The former process is capable of real-time conversion but it sometimes causes inappropriate spectral movements. On t...

Batch cryptography has been developed into two main branches – batch verification and batch identification. Batch verification is a method to determine whether a set of signatures contains invalid signatures, and batch identification is a method to find bad signatures if a set of signatures contains invalid signatures.

We present a new method for obtaining confidence intervals in steady-state simulation. In our replicated batch means method, we do a small number of independent replications to estimate the steady-state mean of the underlying stochastic process. In order to obtain a variance estimator, we further group the observations from these replications into nonoverlapping batches. We show that for large ...
