The performance of a hybrid bubble column/biofilter (HBCB) bioreactor for the removal of dichloromethane (DCM) from waste gas streams was studied in continuous mode for several months. The HBCB bioreactor consisted of two compartments: bubble column bioreactor removing DCM from liquid phase and biofilter removing DCM from gas phase. Effect of inlet DCM concentration on the elimination capacity ...

The main objective of this paper is to use simulation to study the performance of a typic:al multistage multi/ine (MSMP) pull production system having failure prone• machines, we studied the effect of the following pmduction control strategies/mechanisms namely, Independent Extended Kanban Control System (IEKCS), Simultaneous Extended Kanban Control System (SEKCS). Constant WIP (CONWIP). Hybrid...

in order to determine radiation use efficiency and phenological and physiological characteristics of three maize hybrids on seven plant densities, an experiment was conducted during 2006 growing season in mashhad, iran. three maize hybrids including late-rippening maize (704), medium-rippening (504) and early-rippening maize (260) and seven plant densities including d1=3, d2=5, d3=7, d4=9, d5=1...

This study shows the design of a new hybrid power generation system, photovoltaic panel (PV)–coupled solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) and gas turbine (GT)–electrolyser. Three objectives (cost, pollutant emissions, and reliability), which are usually in conflict, are considered simultaneously. The design of a hybrid system, considering the three mentioned objectives, poses a very complex problem of o...

The Hybrid Learning System (HLS) inductively learns concepts and is a hybrid of a genetic classiier system and a similarity-based learner. Its basic structure is a genetic algorithm that applies a local search operator to population members. This study compares ID3, a standard genetic classifer system, and HLS for accuracy and concept conciseness on a variety of problem domains with and without...
