This paper considers the optimal operation of an oil and gas production network by formulating it as an economic nonlinear model predictive control (NMPC) problem. Solving the associated nonlinear program (NLP) can be ...

This paper takes as its point of departure previous decades’ marginalization of translation as a component in formal language teaching and learning, looking at various ways in which information technology provides the means ...

Better understanding of the physiological mechanisms and neurological symptoms involved in the development of decompression sickness could contribute to improvements of diving procedures. The main objective of the present ...

Ground faults (GF) in a feeder with interconnected distributed generation (DG) might lead to overvoltages in healthy phases even after feeder disconnection from a substation, obstacles for reclosing schemes, and safety ...

We present a fast sensitivity-based nonlinear model predictive control (NMPC) algorithm, that can handle non-unique multipliers in the discretized dynamic optimization problem. Non-unique multipliers may arise, for example ...

The reversible pump turbine (RPT) is a suitable machine to control fluctuations in the energy market. The usage of RPTs for this purpose will increase the number of operational mode changes of the machine. In order to ...

The reaction mechanisms, phase development and kinetics of the hydrothermal synthesis of hexagonal‐YMnO3 from Y2O3 and Mn2O3 using in situ X‐ray diffraction are reported under different reaction conditions with temperatures ...

The inner structure of a material is called its microstructure. It stores the genesis of a material and determines all the physical and chemical properties. However, the microstructure is highly complex and numerous image ...

The objective of the study was to assess associations of the rs9939609 FTO allele to glucose tolerance, hepatic and total insulin sensitivity (IS) in individuals with obesity. From a low-dose hyperinsulinemic euglycemic ...
