Optimization arises naturally when process performance needs improvement. This is often the case in industry because of competition – the product has to be proposed at the lowest possible cost. From the point of view of control, optimization consists in de ...
The maintenance of an automatic plant can play a crucial role in its efficient operation. The preferred maintenance policy will be such that it costs and the costs caused by unforseen interruptions of the plant do not outweight one another. ...
This thesis deals with dynamic optimization of batch processes, i.e. processes that are characterized by a finite time of operation and the frequent repetition of batches. The objective is to maximize the quantity of the desired product at final time while ...
The design, properties and optimization of an ultrasonic actuator are presented. Numerical modeling has been carried out and simulations with the FEM Ansys software have been realized. To avoid performing a large number of simulations, input parameters lik ...

Recently, measurement-based optimization schemes have been developed to deal with uncertainty and process variations. One of the methods therein, labeled NCO tracking, relies on appropriate parameterization of the input profiles and adjusts the correspondi ...
Measurements can be used in an optimization framework to compensate the effects of uncertainty in the form of model mismatch or process disturbances. Among the various options for input adaption, a promising approach consists of directly enforcing the nece ...
Question: What are the correlations between the degree of drought stress and temperature, and the adoption of specific adaptive strategies by plants in the Mediterranean region? Location: 602 sites across the Mediterranean region. Method: We considered 12 ...
Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O-3 (PMN) alkoxide precursor solutions were synthesized and used to prepare thin layers on TiO2/Pt/TiO2/SiO2/Si substrates by spin coating. Many parameters like homogeneity of the solution and appropriate processing must be controlled to mini ...
