The database and information retrieval communities have long been recognized as being irreconcilable. Today, however, we witness a surprising convergence of the techniques used by both communities in decentralized, large-scale environments. The newly emerg ...
The operation of wastewater treatment plants is challenging for many small communities for economical and technical reasons. In this work, optimal control of the aeration system is considered to improve the efficiency and reliability of the activated sludg ...
The TELEMAC project brings new methodologies from the Information and Science Technologies field to the world of water treatment. TELEMAC offers an advanced remote management system which adapts to most of the anaerobic wastewater treatment plants that do ...
In the design of tubular bridges, engineers have found the fatigue performance of the joints to be a critical aspect that may have a significant impact on the economic viability of these structures. In looking for ways of improving this performance, the us ...
Adverse effects on the environment have become a matter of increasing concern considering the increase of industrialization and of the amount of commercialized chemicals. At present, approximately 100'000 substances are on the market, 3000 are sold at high ...
The removal or breakdown of org. compds. from wastewater is an important and integral part of any industrial chem. process. Described here is the electrochem. treatment (or pretreatment prior to biol. treatment) of industrial wastewater (BASF wastewater) c ...
Industrial applications of supply chain cost management, along with life cycle costing of goods and services, are increasing. Several industrial sectors, in particular the automotive, electronics, and primary materials, have engaged in programs to coordina ...
The paper presents a dynamic optimisation study of a small size single basin wastewater treatment plant. The objective is to determine optimal sequences of aeration/non-aeration times so that for a typical diurnal pattern of disturbances, the effluent cons ...
In this paper, the design of probabilistic observers for mass-balance based bioprocess models is investigated. It is assumed that the probability density of every uncertain parameter, input and/or initial state is known a priori. Then, the probability dens ...
Background The main goal in analyzing microarray data is to determine the genes that are differentially expressed across two types of tissue samples or samples obtained under two experimental conditions. Mixture model method (MMM hereafter) is a nonparamet ...
