Evaluation of vapour extraction process and its prospect as an enhanced oil recovery method (2015)

The vapour extraction (VAPEX) process is a promising technique to extract heavy oil and bitumen while minimising environmental pollution and capital costs compared to conventional thermal processes. This paper comprehensively reviews the literature on the vapour extraction process to elucidate why VAPEX is not yet operational at the field scale. It was found that unfeasibility of the VAPEX process is mainly attributed to operational issues. A sufficient number of parameters that are associated with these two issues and affect the VAPEX process are evaluated in this paper. [Received: March 11, 2013; Accepted: October 17, 2013]

Gas adsorption with molecular sieve zeolites. (1990)

Adsorption kinetics and equilibrium of CH$\sb4$, CO and N$\sb2$ gases were studied on various molecular sieve zeolites. Ethylyne was also tested, yet was found to be incompatible with the molecular sieves under consideration. The gas chromatographic technique was chosen as the method of studying the adsorption by which equilibrium and kinetic parameters are derived by matching the response peak to appropriate mathematical models. It was found that the synthetic zeolites (H-Mordenite, 4A zeolite, 5A zeolite) rather than naturally occurring Chabazite had a higher capacity for the adsorption of all three gases. Pure and binary gas isotherms of CH$\sb4$ and CO with molecular sieve 5A were also studied for the separation of these gases. These isotherms indicated that under the present conditions CO is preferentially adsorbed on the 5A zeolite and the adsorption capacity of the sieve increases with decreased temperature.

The Development of a Corrosion Prognostic Health Management System for Australian Defence Force Aircraft (2008)

DSTO has been working for more than a decade on the development of tools to monitor the atmospheric corrosion of military aircraft. Initially, this work involved the development and use of sensors, both corrosion and environmental. The work has evolved to include corrosion models and prognostic capabilities to give a more complete corrosion prognostic health management (CPHM) system. This paper will give a historical perspective of the development of these tools at DSTO and elsewhere along with their uses and shortcomings. It will also explain how increases in the understanding of both atmospheric and aircraft corrosion have fed into the development of a more complete CPHM system. The current system is being developed by DSTO for the Australian Defence Force (ADF) with a view to facilitating condition-based maintenance for corrosion prevention that will replace maintenance dictated by either flying hours or service duration. The system functions by using sensors to measure the environmental exposure of the aircraft and models to determine the extent of corrosion expected from this exposure. The CPHM system will give the maintenance engineer a tool that will enable condition-based maintenance to be achieved and remove the requirement for costly inspection procedures, especially of hard to access areas. Finally, the work being undertaken to extend the CPHM system will be discussed.

Halloysite Nanotubes Supported Gold Catalyst for Cyclohexene Oxidation with Molecular Oxygen (2011)

The selective oxidation of cyclohexene to 2-cyclohexene-1-ol and 2-cyclohexene-1-one has been investi-gated over Au/HNTs (HNTs: halloysite nanotubes) catalysts with molecular oxygen in a solvent-free system. The catalysts were prepared by deposition precipitation method and characterized by ICP-AES, TEM and XRD. The results show that the catalytic performance of Au/HNTs is quite well and the catalytic activity over recycled catalyst remains highly. Moreover, the nano-size effect of gold is also reported for the reaction.
<i>In-vitro</i> activity of enoxacin (CI-919), a new quinoline derivative, compared with that of other antimicrobial agents (1984)

The in-vitro activity of enoxacin (CI-919), a new synthetic quinoline derivative was compared with that of three other quinolines ofloxacin, norfloxacin and nalidixic acid. In addition beta-lactams and gentamicin were also included when appropriate. The MICs of enoxacin for 90% of Escherichia coli, Klebsiella spp., Enterobacter spp., Proteus spp., Providencia stuartii, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus were less than 4 mg/l, for Haemophilus influenzae less than 0.25 mg/l and Neisseria gonorrhoeae less than 0.03 mg/l. Bacteroides fragilis and streptococci (including Streptococcus pneumoniae) were less susceptible, MIC90 16 mg/l. Against many of the common Enterobacteriaceae enoxacin displayed a similar degree of activity as gentamicin. Gentamicin-resistant strains of common bacterial pathogens were susceptible to enoxacin as were methicillin-resistant Staph. aureus. The protein binding of enoxacin (concentration 5 mg/l) was 18%.
L-lysine production improvement: a review of the state of the art and patent landscape focusing on strain development and fermentation technologies (2019)

L-lysine is an essential amino acid used in various industrial sectors but mainly in food and animal feed. Intense research has been directed toward increasing its productivity. This literature review presents the state of the art and patent landscape of the industrial production of L-lysine, with a focus on the strain development and fermentation technologies, through geographic, social, and chronological analysis, using the text mining technique. The geographic analysis showed a greater tendency for countries with industrial plants with large production capacity to submit patents or publish articles, while the social analysis reflected the close relationship between educational units and companies. The technologies of each document were divided into optimization of fermentation parameters, conventional mutation, and genetic engineering. <i>Corynebacterium glutamicum</i> and <i>Escherichia coli</i> present the most attractive industrial phenotypes, and their cultivation occurs mainly in fed-batch processes with control parameters carefully selected to enhance metabolism. These strains are generally modified by conventional approaches (e.g., mutagenesis and selection of auxotrophic and/or regulatory mutants) or by genetic engineering technologies. The combination of both these approaches enables genomic breeding and the construction of strains with industrial potential, capable of accumulating more than 120 g/L of L-lysine. From the analysis of these approaches, we developed a descriptive flow of substrate uptake, amino acid metabolism, and mechanisms of excretion of a lysine-producing model cell. It is expected that the various mechanisms of L-lysine production, here shown and described, will become a guide that aids in increasing amino acid productivity without interfering with the strain stability.

Event‐related Potentials as Markers for Alcoholism Risk in High Density Families (1988)

One hundred sixty-eight adult siblings and parents from affected and control families were tested for ERP characteristics using two tasks involving an auditory oddball paradigm. Significant within family differences among affected families suggest that risk for developing alcoholism may be seen even in adult subjects who have had experience consuming alcohol. Further, analysis of quantity and recency of drinking in the past seven days were not correlated with either amplitude or latency of P300, suggesting that the within-family differences observed reflect relative risk for developing alcoholism rather than experience with alcohol.
Microcomputer applications in telephony (1978)

The application of microcomputers and other large-scale integrated (LSI) circuit products such as microcomputer memory peripherals, digital coders and decoders (codec), and channd filters to telephone switching systems, transmission systems, and to high-feature telephone instruments is discussed. Switching and transmission systems which use standardized digital transmission formats are described, and line circuit and common control functions are briefly discussed for digital switching system architectures using microcomputer control. A high-feature electronic telephone and trends in digital telephony are also reviewed as they relate to potential applications of products based on large scale integration techniques.
Analysis of the status quo on courses system of higher medical vocational education (2009)

In this article,we analyzel courses system of three main majors of higher medical vocational education and undergraduate,medicine,nursing and pharmacy.The results showed that the average of semester hours in higher medical vocational education is higher than in undergraduate,the burden on students of higher medical vocational educations is obviously higher than that of similar undergraduate;no obvious gap is in the proportion of the public course,the professional basic courses,professional courses between higher medical vocational education and undergraduate;the ratio of lecture and practice of school hours is little difference in nursing and pharmacy between higher medical vocational education and undergraduate,practice hours of clinical medicine is even lower than that of the undergraduate;higher medical vocational education opened with the basic undergraduate curriculum in line;the practice teaching is composed of the experimental courses and graduate practice,etc.So we think that the course system does not reflect the characteristics of higher medical vocational education,while no form is conducive to the students' vocational skills training practice teaching system.

MEMS-based sensing and algorithm development for fall detection and gait analysis (2010)

Falls by the elderly are highly detrimental to health, frequently resulting in injury, high medical costs, and even death. Using a MEMS-based sensing system, algorithms are being developed for detecting falls and monitoring the gait of elderly and disabled persons. In this study, wireless sensors utilize Zigbee protocols were incorporated into planar shoe insoles and a waist mounted device. The insole contains four sensors to measure pressure applied by the foot. A MEMS based tri-axial accelerometer is embedded in the insert and a second one is utilized by the waist mounted device. The primary fall detection algorithm is derived from the waist accelerometer. The differential acceleration is calculated from samples received in 1.5s time intervals. This differential acceleration provides the quantification via an energy index. From this index one may ascertain different gait and identify fall events. Once a pre-determined index threshold is exceeded, the algorithm will classify an event as a fall or a stumble. The secondary algorithm is derived from frequency analysis techniques. The analysis consists of wavelet transforms conducted on the waist accelerometer data. The insole pressure data is then used to underline discrepancies in the transforms, providing more accurate data for classifying gait and/or detecting falls. The range of the transform amplitude in the fourth iteration of a Daubechies-6 transform was found sufficient to detect and classify fall events.
Learning source-target surface patterns for web-based terminology translation (2005)

This paper introduces a method for learning to find translation of a given source term on the Web. In the approach, the source term is used as query and part of patterns to retrieve and extract translations in Web pages. The method involves using a bilingual term list to learn source-target surface patterns. At runtime, the given term is submitted to a search engine then the candidate translations are extracted from the returned summaries and subsequently ranked based on the surface patterns, occurrence counts, and transliteration knowledge. We present a prototype called TermMine that applies the method to translate terms. Evaluation on a set of encyclopedia terms shows that the method significantly outperforms the state-of-the-art online machine translation systems.
Defining the mechanism of polymerization in the serpinopathies (2010)

The serpinopathies result from the ordered polymerization of mutants of members of the serine proteinase inhibitor (serpin) superfamily. These polymers are retained within the cell of synthesis where they cause a toxic gain of function. The serpinopathies are exemplified by inclusions that form with the common severe Z mutant of α(1)-antitrypsin that are associated with liver cirrhosis. There is considerable controversy as to the pathway of serpin polymerization and the structure of pathogenic polymers that cause disease. We have used synthetic peptides, limited proteolysis, monoclonal antibodies, and ion mobility-mass spectrometry to characterize the polymerogenic intermediate and pathological polymers formed by Z α(1)-antitrypsin. Our data are best explained by a model in which polymers form through a single intermediate and with a reactive center loop-β-sheet A linkage. Our data are not compatible with the recent model in which polymers are linked by a β-hairpin of the reactive center loop and strand 5A. Understanding the structure of the serpin polymer is essential for rational drug design strategies that aim to block polymerization and so treat α(1)-antitrypsin deficiency and the serpinopathies.

Aligning Knowledge and Text Embeddings by Entity Descriptions (2015)

We study the problem of jointly embedding a knowledge base and a text corpus. The key issue is the alignment model making sure the vectors of entities, relations and words are in the same space. Wang et al. (2014a) rely on Wikipedia anchors, making the applicable scope quite limited. In this paper we propose a new alignment model based on text descriptions of entities, without dependency on anchors. We require the embedding vector of an entity not only to fit the structured constraints in KBs but also to be equal to the embedding vector computed from the text description. Extensive experiments show that, the proposed approach consistently performs comparably or even better than the method of Wang et al. (2014a), which is encouraging as we do not use any anchor information.
High Dynamic Range Point Clouds for Real‐Time Relighting (2019)

Abstract Acquired 3D point clouds make possible quick modeling of virtual scenes from the real world. With modern 3D capture pipelines, each point sample often comes with additional attributes such as normal vector and color response. Although rendering and processing such data has been extensively studied, little attention has been devoted using the light transport hidden in the recorded per‐sample color response to relight virtual objects in visual effects (VFX) look‐dev or augmented reality (AR) scenarios. Typically, standard relighting environment exploits global environment maps together with a collection of local light probes to reflect the light mood of the real scene on the virtual object. We propose instead a unified spatial approximation of the radiance and visibility relationships present in the scene, in the form of a colored point cloud. To do so, our method relies on two core components: High Dynamic Range (HDR) expansion and real‐time Point‐Based Global Illumination (PBGI). First, since an acquired color point cloud typically comes in Low Dynamic Range (LDR) format, we boost it using a single HDR photo exemplar of the captured scene that can cover part of it. We perform this expansion efficiently by first expanding the dynamic range of a set of renderings of the point cloud and then projecting these renderings on the original cloud. At this stage, we propagate the expansion to the regions not covered by the renderings or with low‐quality dynamic range by solving a Poisson system. Then, at rendering time, we use the resulting HDR point cloud to relight virtual objects, providing a diffuse model of the indirect illumination propagated by the environment. To do so, we design a PBGI algorithm that exploits the GPU's geometry shader stage as well as a new mipmapping operator, tailored for G‐buffers, to achieve real‐time performances. As a result, our method can effectively relight virtual objects exhibiting diffuse and glossy physically‐based materials in real time. Furthermore, it accounts for the spatial embedding of the object within the 3D environment. We evaluate our approach on manufactured scenes to assess the error introduced at every step from the perfect ground truth. We also report experiments with real captured data, covering a range of capture technologies, from active scanning to multiview stereo reconstruction.
The ScanDeNi® process could turn an existing under-performing activated sludge plant into an asset (2003)

With tightening up of effluent discharge standards from wastewater treatment facilities, many plants are facing costly augmentations and in many cases completely new plants will have to be constructed. The ScanDeNi process was developed in Sweden for increased nitrogen removal at the Västerås Sewage Treatment Plant (STP), 125,000 p.e. near Stockholm, and can be described as a modified contact stabilisation process with pre-denitrification and a selector stage for nitrification. The STP was upgraded at a cost of some 25 Mill. SEK (2.5 Mill. USD). It has been successfully in operation since 1998, exceeding all expectations. The process is showing the following major advantages. 25-35% less volume for the same Sludge Retention Time (SRT) and secondary sedimentation sludge load, compared to conventional pre-denitrification; or a 25-35% higher load can be applied within the same volume with the same removal efficiencies. The selector mechanism appears to be not limited to the nitrifying bacteria alone. Other microorganisms appear to be responsible for the reduction of surface active matter from the return activated sludge (RAS), as well as in the reject stream from sludge dewatering, resulting in an increase in alpha-values of approximately 50%. Due to the high alpha-values less aeration is required, resulting in significant operating cost savings. 'Automatic' creation of anaerobic conditions, enabling biological phosphorus removal. Whilst rarely a concern in warmer climates, BNR plants in cold climates in winter often lose their capacity to nitrify. The Västerås STP has consistently maintained excellent effluent quality even with effluent temperatures as low as 7 degrees C, and at an SRT of some 7-9 days, proving the effectiveness of the nitrifier selector. The ScanDeNi process could offer excellent effluent discharge standards (T-N < 10 mg/L, T-P < 0.5 mg/L) in smaller tank volumes and at a significantly lower operating cost, compared to conventional pre-denitrification systems.
Normal emittance measurements by a transient temperature technique (1988)

Normal spectral emittance measurements from 5000 to 400 cm−1, and normal total emittance measurements, were made for sapphire and polycrystalline aluminas using Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy. Samples were dropped from a furnace into the nitrogen ambient of the spectrometer to the position where the internal global source is normally focused. Radiance was measured as the alumina cooled to derived emittances from 900 to 1450 K. The temperatures were determined from radiance measurements at 1027 cm−1 where alumina has zero reflectivity and transmittance. Standard deviations of total normal emittance measurements averaged over three drops were ≤0.3% of the averages.
General Cardiovascular Risk Profile for Use in Primary Care (2008)

A sex-specific multivariable risk factor algorithm can be conveniently used to assess general CVD risk and risk of individual CVD events (coronary, cerebrovascular, and peripheral arterial disease and heart failure). The estimated absolute CVD event rates can be used to quantify risk and to guide preventive care.
