The ADC architecture and timing diagram are shown in Figure 1. The converter consists of a 7b coarse flash stage, a 7b digital-to-analog converter (DAC), a subtractor. and a 6b fine flash stage. One-of-n decoders and ROhIs are used to convert the thermometer code outputs ofthe two flash stages to binarydata, that is thencorrecteddigitally to produce the final output. One bit ofredundancy. or ov...

The present thesis is motivated by chemical engineering: process simulation and optimization with a focus on distillation-based flowsheets. In this context, a process consists of a number of unit operations connected by streams. Such a structure can be represented by a so-called flowsheet. In general, the process should be designed in a way that certain engineering demands are fulfilled, e.g. p...

The multi-level cell (MLC) NAND flash memory technology enables multiple bits of information to be stored on a single cell, thus making it possible to increase the density of the memory without increasing the die size. For most MLC flash memories, each cell can be programmed as a single-level cell or a multi-level cell during runtime. Therefore, it has a potential to achieve both the high perfo...

This paper applies Bayesian neural networks on the inference of diesel 85% ASTM distillation, and compares the results with traditional multi-layer perceptrons.

The Water Framework Directive (WFD) and the Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD) are the European umbrella regulations for water systems. It is a challenge for the scientific community to translate the principles of these directives into realistic and accurate approaches. The aim of this paper, conducted by the Benthos Ecology Working Group of ICES, is to describe how the principles have ...

PERSEUS project aims to identify the most relevant pressures exerted on the ecosystems of the Southern European Seas (SES), highlighting knowledge and data gaps that endanger the achievement of SES Good Environmental Status (GES) as mandated by the Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD). A complementary approach has been adopted, by a meta-analysis of existing literature on pressure/impact/...

In the present study, two distinctly different approaches are followed for modeling of reactive distillation column, the equilibrium stage model and the nonequilibrium stage model. These models are simulated with a computer code developed in the present study using MATLAB programming. In the equilibrium stage models, the vapor and liquid phases are assumed to be in equilibrium and allowance is ...

This document describes a mobility services framework design (MSFD) for the IEEE 802.21 Media Independent Handover (MIH) protocol that addresses identified issues associated with the transport of MIH messages. The document also describes mechanisms for Mobility Services (MoS) discovery and transport-layer mechanisms for the reliable delivery of MIH messages. This document does not provide mecha...
