A reliable dynamic simulator (based on a sound process model) is highly desirable for optimizing the performance of individual membrane modules and of entire desalination plants. This paper reports on progress toward development of a comprehensive model of the complicated physical-chemical processes occurring in spiral wound membrane (SWM) modules, that accounts for the...

INTRODUCTION Fracture of the styloid process (SP) of the temporal bone is a rare traumatic injury in normal individuals who are not suffering from Eagle's syndrome. Diagnosis and management of this problem requires comprehensive knowledge about its signs and symptoms. This study aimed to present an isolated styloid process fracture in a nonsyndromic patient. CASE PRESENTATION A 50-year-old ma...

Temporal workflows are becoming increasingly important in many real-world applications. In such workflows, activity durations and times are specified and it is necessary to ensure both at design time and run time that temporal constraints are not violated. However, in real-time workflows, such as in a medical process or emergency situations, some violations are unavoidable. Hence, a more nuance...

A process semantics for temporal logic specification is provided by relating a category of temporal theories and interpretations between theories where specification configuration and interconnection is achieved via colimits of diagrams, and a category of algebraic models of processes where parallel composition is explained in terms of limits of diagrams. This semantics is proved to be exact in...

background and aim: foundations and mechanisms of auditory scene analysis (asa) including segregation and integration were especially reviewed in the study. i focused on the related studies using event-related potentials (erps). recent findings: publications on asa using erps from 1971 to 2014 indicate neural mechanisms of asa in central auditory system. conclusion: asa results in recognition o...

Predictive business process monitoring is concerned with the analysis of events produced during the execution of a business process in order to predict as early as possible the final outcome of an ongoing case. Traditionally, predictive process monitoring methods are optimized with respect to accuracy. However, in environments where users make decisions and take actions in response to the predi...

Existing work in process mining focuses on the discovery of the underlying process model from their instances. In this paper, we do not assume the existence of a single process model to which all process instances comply, and the goal is to discover a set of frequently occurring temporal patterns. Discovery of temporal patterns can be applied to various application domains to support crucial bu...
