Current end-to-end machine reading and question answering (Q&A) models are primarily based on recurrent neural networks (RNNs) with attention. Despite their success, these models are often slow for both training and inference due to the sequential nature of RNNs. We propose a new Q&A architecture that does not require recurrent networks: Its encoder consists exclusively of convolution and self-...

A site energy distribution function based on a condensation approximation method is proposed for gas-phase adsorption systems following the Toth isotherm. The proposed model is successfully applied to estimate the site energy distribution of three pitch-based activated carbons (PA, PFeA and PBA) developed in our laboratory and also for other common adsorbent materials for different gas molecule...

Thls paper provides a zeolite-water adsorption refrigeration system for producing chill water, in which zeolite 13X H20 is used as a worklng pair and the exhaust gas from diesel engine ie utilized as a heat source.The system is to be used on a fishing boat for preserving aquatic products. The deslgn of the system is given. The adsorption Unlt consist of many adsorption elemen~& The dynamlC curv...

This paper presents measurements of the thermal conductivity of paraffins mixtured with zeolites of the type 5A and 13X. Because of their high enthalpy change at the phase transition paraffins are able to store more thermal energy at nearly isothermal conditions than sensible heat materials. The poor thermal conductivity of paraffins is a disadvantage, however. The zeolite provides a structure ...

Circadian rhythm mechanisms involve multi-scale interactions between endogenous DNA-transcription oscillators. We present the application of efficient, numerically well-conditioned algorithms for abstracting (potentially large) systems of differential equation models of circadian oscillators into compact, accurate phase-only macromodels. We apply and validate our auto-extracted phase macromodel...

Zeolites can be used to store thermal energy, but they may age and lose a fraction of their storage capacity during prolonged use. The purpose this study is determine which parameters are responsible for the aging zeolite NaY by exposing it extreme hydrothermal conditions. In laboratory unit, fixed bed binder-free beads was treated hydrothermally, were analyzed signs aging. Also, 13X tested com...
