Avoiding Buffer Tank Overflow in an Iron Ore Dewatering System with Integrated Control System

Libsafe: Transparent System-wide Protection Against Buffer Overflow Attacks

Libsafe is a practical solution that protects against the most common forms of buffer overflow attacks. Such attacks often result in granting the attacker full privileges on the target system. Libsafe is implemented as a shared library that intercepts calls to vulnerable standard library functions. Based on an inspection of the process stack and the function arguments, Libsafe ensures that no r...

Health System Financial Supply Chain Management with System Dynamics Approach: An Integrated Review

Introduction: Financing, creating resources, delivering services, and stewardship are the four main tasks of the health system, and achieving these goals is the main indicator of an efficient and fair health system. The present study was conducted to investigate the model of the management of the financing chain of the health system with the approach of system dynamics. Methods: In this integra...

Intelligent pollution management in an integrated energy system

Energy carriers are addressed today as one of the main pillars of energy generation due to the increased growth of industries in developed and developing countries. According to the global view, increased consumption of energy carriers is causing an increase in the production of greenhouse gases, the global average temperature, and this, in turn, results in the quicker melting of ice in Antarct...

Buffer Tank Design for Acceptable Control Performance

This paper provides a systematic approach for the design of buffer tanks. We consider mainly the case where the objective of the buffer tank is to dampen (“average out”) the fast (i.e., high-frequency) disturbances, which cannot be handled by the feedback control system. We consider separately design procedures for (I) mixing tanks to dampen quality disturbances and (II) surge tanks with averag...
