Kojic acid, 5-hydroxy-2-hydroxymethyl-γ-pyrone, has many potential industrial applications. In this review, the properties and diverse applications of kojic acid in industries are described. The review also discusses the advance in kojic acid fermentation, focusing on the process development in microorganisms and strain selection, medium and culture optimization, as well as fermentation modes f...

The rolling horizon method has been proposed to address the integrated production planning and scheduling optimization problem. Since the method can generally result in small-scale optimization model and fast solution, it has been used in a number of applications in realistic industrial planning and scheduling problems. In this paper, it is first pointed out that the incorporation of valid prod...

The industrial exploitation of microalgae is characterized by the production of high-value compounds. Optimization of the performance of microalgae culture systems is essential to render the process economically viable. For raceway systems, the optimization based on optimal control theory is rather challenging, because the process is by essence periodically forced and, as a consequence, optimiz...

This paper proposes the incremental goal evolution process methodology from the view point of the approach to business process optimization. This paper first presents a procedure for proposed methodology, which is composed of 6 steps. An actual business process of industrial factory is analyzed by adopting this methodology in on-site case study. the result of case study indicate that proposed m...

Aero-engine core compressor preliminary design strategy has been successfully applied to the advanced of gas turbines compressors. However, few researchers have addressed application aero-engine in optimal industrial process Here we embedded into a method, which six types parameters widely used define configuration, i.e., aspect ratio, solidity, reaction, rotation speed, outlet axial Mach numbe...

This work investigates a procedure to design an Industrial Ecosystem for sequestrating CO2 and consuming glycerol in a Chemical Complex with 15 integrated processes. The Complex is responsible for the production of methanol, ethylene oxide, ammonia, urea, dimethyl carbonate, ethylene glycol, glycerol carbonate, β-carotene, 1,2-propanediol and olefins, and is simulated using UNISIM Design (Honey...

This paper presents a motion optimization system for an industrial quality inspection process where a vision device coupled with a manipulator robot arm is able to perform quality and completeness inspection on a complex solid part. In order to be deployed in an industrial production plant, the proposed system has been engineered and integrated as a module of an offline simulator, called WorkCe...

Process-variation induced skew has become one of the major contributors to the clock-skew in advanced technologies. Since process-variation induced skew is roughly proportional to clock-delay, it is preferable to design zero-skew clock-trees and have minimum clock-delay to reduce both unintentional and process-variation induced skews. In this paper, we propose a zero-skew buffered clock-tree sy...
