In hydrothermal valorization of black liquor (BL) from the Kraft process, separation inorganic salts is pivotal to prevent them fouling downstream equipment such as reactors and for cost-efficient recycling into pulp cooking chemicals. this work, phase behavior present in BL was studied supercritical water conditions were optimized. A high-pressure differential scanning calorimetry study indica...

The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of intermittent and continuous static exercise on muscle perfusion, perfusion heterogeneity, and oxygen extraction. Perfusion and oxygen uptake of quadriceps femoris muscle were measured in 10 healthy men by using positron emission tomography and [(15)O]H(2)O and [(15)O]O(2) first during intermittent static exercise [10% of maximal static for...

Keeping the pace with the faster and faster evolution of knowledge is becoming a challenge, especially for researchers and knowledge workers. We propose a vision towards a set of (possibly integrated) publicly available tools that can help on this. To this purpose, we expect tools that can improve effectiveness of knowledge extraction, storage, analysis, publishing and experimental benchmarking...

The use of dialysis fermentation with the continuous extraction of the dialysate has resulted in a twofold increase in the cycloheximide titer due to relief from product inhibition. Continuous extraction of the dialysate has eliminated the necessity for large reservoir volumes of fermentation medium normally used in dialysis fermentation. The apparatus used in this procedure is described.

Abstract. In this paper, we focus on a novel NN/HMM architecture for continuous speech recognition. The architecture incorporates a neural feature extraction to gain more discriminative feature vectors for the underlying HMM system. The feature extraction can be chosen either linear or non-linear and can incorporate recurrent connections. With this hybrid system, that is an extension of a state...
