A Semi-Heuristic Process-Reaction Curve PID Controller Tuning Method
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)A simple semi-heuristic method for designing PID controllers for time constant models are shown to be close to optimal. A Process-Reaction Curve method is proposed, composed by a method for approximating stable time constant ... -
A Sensor Fusion Algorithm for Filtering Pyrometer Measurement Noise in the Czochralski Crystallization Process
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2011)The Czochralski (CZ) crystallization process is used to produce monocrystalline silicon for solar cell wafers and electronics. Tight temperature control of the molten silicon is most important for achieving high crystal ... -
A Simultaneous and Continuous Excitation Method for High-Speed Electrical Impedance Tomography with Reduced Transients and Noise Sensitivity.
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)This paper presents a concept for soft field tomographic scan of all the projections of electromagnetic waves emanating from an array of electrodes. Instead of the sequential excitation of all pairs of electrodes in the ... -
A solution method for one-dimensional shallow water equations using flux limiter centered scheme for open Venturi channels
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)The one-dimensional shallow water equations were modified for a Venturi contraction and expansion in a rectangular open channel to achieve more accurate results than with the conventional one-dimensional shallow water ... -
A spherical-plot solution to linking acceleration metrics with animal performance, state, behaviour and lifestyle
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)Background: We are increasingly using recording devices with multiple sensors operating at high frequencies to produce large volumes of data which are problematic to interpret. A particularly challenging example comes from ... -
A Study of Mass Transfer Kinetics of Carbon Dioxide in (Monoethanolamine + Water) by Stirred Cell
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013-08-05)The gas phase resistance in a stirred cell was investigated to understand and avoid its influence on the measurement of the reaction kinetics. To validate the influence of gas phase resistance and the experimental conditions ... -
A Study of the Effect of Relative Permeability and Residual Oil Saturation on Oil Recovery
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015-11-25)The depletion of oil production and the low recovery rate are the major challenges faced in oil production. Several studies have shown that considerable amount of oil still remains in the reservoir after the well shutdown. ... -
A test of the dear enemy phenomenon in the Eurasian beaver
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2002)We tested the hypothesis that Eurasian beavers, Castor fiber, display the dear enemy phenomenon; that is, they respond less aggressively to intrusions by their territorial neighbours than intrusions by nonterritorial ... -
A Variable Depth Search Algorithm for Binary Constraint Satisfaction Problems
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)The constraint satisfaction problem (CSP) is a popular used paradigm to model a wide spectrum of optimization problems in artificial intelligence. This paper presents a fast metaheuristic for solving binary constraint ... -
A Wearable Haptic System for the Health Monitoring of Elderly People in Smart Cities
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)A sensor-fusion wearable health-monitoring system with integrated haptic feedback was previously introduced by our research group. The system's components are the following: a chest-worn device with an embedded controller ... -
Abrupt high-latitude climate events and decoupled seasonal trends during the Eemian
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)The Eemian (the Last Interglacial; ca. 129–116 thousand years ago) presents a testbed for assessing environmental responses and climate feedbacks under warmer-than-present boundary conditions. However, climate syntheses ... -
Absorption and Desorption Study of Alkylamine Promoted DEEA Solvents for CO2 Capture
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Three primary and two secondary mono-alkylamines, and a di-alkylamine (3-(Methylamino)propylamine, MAPA) were investigated in blend with a tertiary amine (2-(Diethylamino)ethanol, DEEA). The aim of the study was to ... -
Acoustic Characterization of Inhomogenous Layers using Finite Element Method
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)This study presents a finite element approach to estimate acoustic parameters of layers of arbitrary compositions using 2D and 3D models. In this approach the resonance frequency of a layer to be investigated is found by ... -
