one of the most important steps in policy making process is the implementation phase. unsuccessful implementation of complied policies especially industrial policies is one of the problems that almost all developing countries and developed ones, face with and they have paid irreparable costs for this problem too. the model for implementation of industrial policies in qom province presented in t...

Abnormal event management (AEM) in large manufacturing plants has evolved as a higher and increasingly vital function of process control. In this paper, an intelligent information management and control system is introduced. The different computational agents (i.e., modules) of the system are embodied in a three-layered cognitive hierarchy, which offers intelligent behavior at the system level,...

The two most widely used neural models, multilayer perceptron (MLP) and radial basis function network (RBFN), are presented in the framework of system identification and control. The main steps for building such nonlinear black box models are regressor choice, selection of internal architecture, and parameter estimation. The advantages of neural network models are summarized: universal approxim...

A convergent synthesis of highly potent HMG-COA reductase inhibitor Fluvastatin. This protocol is amenable to scale up and will be a valuable process for the commercial production of fluvastatin sodium.

This article shows how usability engineering methods—presented in Burmester, Komischke, and Wüst (this issue)—were successfully applied to user-interface design in industrial process control. The goal of the research was to optimize the work of both designers (automation engineers) and end users (operators) of process control systems. Expert interviews and task analyses in different sectors wer...

We present here a recently developed approach of Terahertz Time Domain Spectroscopy (THz-TDS) and its application on rapid and precise Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) of composites and concealed objects. Electromagnetic radiation of THz frequencies can penetrate dielectric materials without ionizing effect; it allows the contact-free testing of dielectric volumes or buried metallic surfaces and c...

This paper analyzes the modeling process by means of a eld study in the chemical industries. A diversi ed set of experienced modelers from two di erent countries have been interviewed using a case study approach. The interviews focussed on the modeling process. Other issues like life-cycle perspectives and the use of modeling in the process industries were treated as well. The information has b...

In an industrial process of production, project managers look for ways to visualise the progress of their project. Reverse engineering projects do not escape this requirement. These projets have the particularity to provide information, more or less accurate, about the whole project, from documentation to source code. Comparison between the number of treated entities (lines of code or entities)...

High titers of a noninducible bacteriocin were produced by Clostridium acetobutylicum in a molasses fermentation medium used for the industrial production of solvents. Release of the bacteriocin towards the end of the exponential growth phase was accompanied by lysis of the culture and inhibition of the production of solvents. The producer cells were sensitive to the bacteriocin, which only aff...

This paper reviews some of the recent applications of optical tomography as a measurement tool for process parameters measurement such as flow concentration profiles, velocity profiles, and mass flow rate. The attentions that have been received by the optical tomography system for the applications of industrial parameters measurement are mainly because of the radiation safe emission of light so...
