Aiding the operator's anticipatory behaviour: the design of process state information.

چکیده

Video display units have penetrated into modern control rooms, replacing conventional instrumentation as a means of information presentation to the operators. In four experiments simulating a small chemical plant process, several process variable and presentation characteristics were investigated. The experiments focused on the early detection of 'oncoming off-normals' (ocons) - deviations in the process that have just begun to appear. The results show that the way information is presented and some characteristics of the signals presented affect detection performance. It is also suggested that the presence of historical information, in the form of trends, seriously hampers the early detection of oncoming off-normals.

Agonistic acts as possible indicator of food anticipatory activity (FAA) in rainbow trou (Oncorhynchus mykiss)

Food anticipatory activity (FAA) was assessed in rainbow trout ( Oncorhynchus mykiss ) in two small raceways using demand-feeding (T2) and hand-feeding (t2). The fish of both raceways were subjected to restricted feeding (RF) at two times in two places and the fish distribution and/or trigger actuation, total agonistic behaviour between fish, and swimming speed were measured. Food anticipatory ...

Segregation Behaviour of Particles in Gas Solid Fluidized Beds at Elevated Pressure

A comprehensive mathematical model based on the discrete particle model and computational fluid dynamics was utilized to investigate mixing and segregation of particles in fluidized beds at high pressure. To quantify the extent of mixing in the bed, the Lacey mixing index was used. Simulations were carried out with different mass fractions of small particles at various pressures ranging from 1 ...
