A growing number of applications require continuous processing of high-throughput data streams, e.g., financial analysis, network traffic monitoring, or Big Data analytics for smart cities. Stream processing applications typically require specific quality-of-service levels to achieve their goals; yet, due to the high time-variability of stream characteristics, it is often inefficient to statica...

Linearization is used extensively in regression and model testing of experimental data. In this work, Margules and Van Laar equation parameters have been calculated, for one sample data set, using several different linearization methods. The resultant parameter values were compared with values obtained by nonlinear regression. The increase in absolute error and change of its distribution due to...

A combination of a simple and universal crop growth simulator (SUCROS) of van Keulen et al. [van Keulen, H., Penning de Vries, F.W.T., Drees, E.M., 1982. A summary model for crop growth. In: Penning de Vries, F.W.T., Laar van, H.H. (Eds.), Simulation of Plant Growth and Crop Production. Simulation Monographs, Pudoc, Wageningen] with a water balance model (WBM) of Arora et al.

Boiling points have been determined at 101.33 kPa for the binary mixtures of sulfolane + o-xylene, sulfolane + m-xylene, sulfolane+p-xylene, sulfolane+ethylbenzene and sulfolane+1,2,4-trimethylbenzene. Calculations of the non-ideality of the vapor phase were made with the second virial coefficients evaluated from the Hayden–O’Connell method. The binary parameters for five activity coefficient m...

Densities of pure 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium methylsulfate, [C4mim][MeSO4], and its mixtures with methanol have been measured. Measurements were made with an accuracy of ±0.2 kg·m-3, using a vibrating-tube densimeter, over the temperature and pressure ranges (283.15-333.15) K and (0.1-35) MPa, respectively. The experimental densities for the pure ionic liquid and alcohol have been correlated b...
