In this paper, a nonlinear fault diagnosis scheme is established for the hot strip mill process (HSMP). In HSMP, the faults affecting quality index are denoted as quality-related faults, which should be taken care as soon as possible. Projection to latent structures (PLS) is a basic model for quality-related fault detection in linear processes. In the presented work, a total kernel PLS (T-KPLS)...

in order to evaluate the effect of different nitrogen application methods on yield and yield components of winter wheat, a field experiment with split plot arrangement in randomized completely blocks design with four replicates was conducted during 2006-07. basal dressing in three levels (with no basal dressing, strip and distributing nitrogen fertilizer) as main plot and top dressing in six le...

This paper presents a fast algorithm for generating triangle strips from triangulated meshes, providing a compact representation suitable for transmission and rendering of the models. A data structure that allows efficient triangle strip generation is also described. The method is based on simple heuristics, significantly reducing the number of vertices used to describe the triangulated models....

A technique was required for batch culturing and direct sensitivity testing of urine specimens to reduce increasing demands on laboratory services. A comparison was made between the filter paper strip method and multipoint inoculator technique using a Denley inoculator (Denley Ltd, Billingshurst, Sussex). The results showed that multipoint inoculation was a rapid, economical, and reliable metho...

This paper considers the numerical simulation of incompressible viscous fluid flow in an infinite strip. A mixed spectral method is proposed using the Legendre approximation in one direction and the Legendre rational approximation in another direction. Numerical results demonstrate the efficiency of this approach. Some results on the mixed Legendre-Legendre rational approximation are establishe...

Although paper electrophoresis has many distinct advantages over the free boundary method, the most important being that a very small amount of material is required, there is difficulty in the quantitative determination of the concentrations of the separated components. The most commonly used method of detection at the present time involves staining the protein with a dye such as bromphenol blu...

This study evaluated the following methods for determining nitrate utilization: Wickerham broth, a special nitrate broth, Delft plate, and nitrate strip. With 236 isolates of cryptococci as test organisms, the special nitrate broth method gave 99% correct results and the Wickerham broth method gave 98%. The nitrate strip and Delft plate methods gave correct results in 94 and 86% of tests, respe...
