Characterization of UOP IONSIV IE-911

As a participating national lab in the inter-institutional effort to resolve performance issues of the non-elutable ion exchange technology for Cs extraction, we have carried out a series of characterization studies of UOP IONSIV IE-911 and its component parts. IE-911 is a bound form (zirconium hydroxide-binder) of crystalline silicotitanate (CST) ion exchanger. The crystalline silicotitanate r...

The UOP text-to-speech system for Greek speech synthesis

A Text-to-Speech system for synthesising the Greek language has been developed in Computer laboratory of the University of Patras (UOP). The system is composed of a core and different interfaces so that is compatible for Windows applications using Microsoft SAPI. The Greek TTS synthesizer uses waveform unit concatenation technology working with a sophisticated speech database and produces good ...

Comparison between Different Control Approaches of the UOP Fluid Catalytic Cracking Unit

Different traditional and advanced control strategies have been tested and the performance investigated, revealing their incentives. The investigated control approaches are: conventional decentralized PID control, MPC control based on analytical model, MPC based on Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) model and Fuzzy Logic Control (FLC). Comparative control results are shown for the multivariable c...

Cytotoxic activity of pisosterol, a triterpene isolated from Pisolithus tinctorius (Mich.: Pers.) Coker & Couch, 1928.

Pisolithus tinctorius (Basidiomycete) is an ectomicorrhizal fungus found in the roots and soil surrounding of many species of eucalyptus and pine trees. The present work verified the cytotoxic potential of pisosterol, a triterpene isolated from P. tinctorius collected in the Northeast region of Brazil, on three different animal cell models: mouse erythrocytes, sea urchin embryos and tumor cells...
