Infinite-dimensional LQ optimal control of a dimethyl ether (DME) catalytic distillation column
(
Elsevier
, 2012 , Article)
This contribution addresses the development of a linear quadratic (LQ) regulator in order to control the concentration profiles along a catalytic distillation column, which is modelled by a set of coupled hyperbolic partial ...
The (IM)-possible mosque: Spatial mutation and identity needs in northern Ireland
(
Emerald Publishing
, 2012 , Article)
Over more than thirty years of violent conflict, Northern Ireland had an intense sectarian violence due to the political-religious opposition between its Catholic and Protestant communities. The history of the Muslim ...
Tele-wobble: A telerehabilitation wobble board for lower extremity therapy
(
IEEE
, 2012 , Article)
Ankle deficiencies occur quite often among poststroke patients and people working in physically demanding professions in general. Computerized telerehabilitation systems have emerged as promising assistive tools for effective ...
Using fringes for minimal conceptual decomposition of binary contexts
(
World Scientific Publishing Co. Pte Ltd
, 2012 , Article)
Extracting knowledge from huge data in a reasonable time is still a challenging problem. Most real data (structured or not) can be mapped to an equivalent binary context, with or without using a scaling method, as for ...
RFID-based interactive multimedia system for the children
(
Springer
, 2012 , Article)
In this paper, we present an interactive edutainment system for the children that leverages multimedia and RFID technologies in a seamless manner. The proposed system allows children to learn about new objects/entities by ...
Scalar dissipation rate statistics in turbulent flows using Planar Laser Induced Fluorescence measurements
(
Elsevier
, 2012 , Article)
A shearless mixing layer with isotropic decaying turbulence has been examined with a turbulent axisymmetric opposed-jet flow and a plume in pipe flow. The study has been carried out experimentally with Planar Laser Induced ...
Disruption factor of asphalt mixtures
(
Taylor & Francis
, 2012 , Article)
Typically, aggregate gradation is selected to meet Superpave mix design specification; however, many Superpave mixtures have exhibited deficient field performance. The porosity of the dominant aggregate size range (DASR), ...
Histopathological effects and determination of the putative receptor of Bacillus thuringiensis Cry1Da toxin in Spodoptera littoralis midgut
(
Elsevier
, 2012 , Article)
Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. aizawai strain HD133, known by its effectiveness against Spodoptera species, produces many insecticidal proteins including Cry1Ab, Cry1Ca and Cry1Da. In the present study, the insecticidal ...
Adsorption of 2, 4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid onto date seeds activated carbon: Equilibrium, kinetic and thermodynamic studies
(2012 , Article)
Adsorption isotherm and kinetics of 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) herbicide on activated carbon prepared from Barhi date seeds were determined from batch tests. The effects of contact time, initial herbicide ...
Batch study for herbicide bentazon adsorption onto palm oil fronds activated carbon
(2012 , Article)
The adsorption of herbicide bentazon from aqueous solution onto activated carbon derived from palm oil fronds (PFAC) was investigated through batch study. The effects of both; initial concentration of the bentazon (ranging ...
