A control of phenolic and furanic compounds in cider brandy was carried out during maturation in oak casks, studying three technological factors: distillation (rectification column vs double distillation), oak wood type (French vs American), and aging time (32 months). Gallic acid and benzoic and cinnamic aldehydes significantly increased during maturation of cider brandies, the highest level o...

The paper addresses the problem of testing various control configurations for binary distillation columns. Analyzing from plantwide control point of view the place of distillation column within the plant, the result will be the best control configuration. The proposed application Test BCC is a very useful tool to evaluate the resulted control configuration for distillation columns. First, it is...

The process for transferring knowledge of multiple reinforcement learning policies into a single multi-task policy via distillation technique is known as policy distillation. When policy distillation is under a deep reinforcement learning setting, due to the giant parameter size and the huge state space for each task domain, it requires extensive computational efforts to train the multi-task po...

Quantum error correction and fault-tolerance have provided the possibility for large scale quantum computations without a detrimental loss of quantum information. A very natural class of gates for fault-tolerant quantum computation is the Clifford gate set and as such their usefulness for universal quantum computation is of great interest. Clifford group gates augmented by magic state preparati...

Techniques such as ensembling and distillation promise model quality improvements when paired with almost any base model. However, due to increased testtime cost (for ensembles) and increased complexity of the training pipeline (for distillation), these techniques are challenging to use in industrial settings. In this paper we explore a variant of distillation which is relatively straightforwar...

Unfortunately, there has been a great worry about clean and healthy water for human consumption lately. Even though 2/3 of the earth's surface is covered by water, access to safe only concentrated in certain areas. In Indonesia, scarcity increasing each year. Recent data on freshwater resources possessed all countries world shows that Indonesia ranked 51st with highest risk (40-80%). There are ...

the genus tanacetum l. belongs to the asteraceae family and anthemideae tribe is one of the most important medicinal plants that contains 26 species in iran, 12 of them are endemic. this paper reports the essential oil composition of tanacetum uniflorum (fisch. & c.a. mey. ex dc.) sch.bip. growing spontaneously in salmas (north-west of iran). essentail oil extracted by water distillation and st...

According to WHO, at any one time, around 50 per cent of medical equipment in lowand middle-income countries cannot be used because of lack of maintenance or spare parts.1 We have found that unwillingness or inability to repair equipment and put it back in use is also a major cause. New equipment is made available by different international non-government organisations (INGOs) competing with on...

Process intensification refers to technologies and strategies that enable simpler and more efficient processes compared to conventional processes. Some features of such intensified processes are less recycle streams, reduced need for waste handling and lower investment and operating costs compared to conventional processes. One way of doing this is by making two or more process steps simultaneo...

Milk fats from different species of mammals are known to vary considerably in chemical composition. In early work, the butter fat constants were largely used to indicate the differences in composition. More recently, emphasis has been placed on comparisons of the component fatty acids of the various types of butter fats. The methods available for separation of the acids are not conducive to hig...
