The Tennessee Eastman (TE) process, created by Eastman Chemical Company, is a complex nonlinear process. Many previous studies focus on the detectability of monitoring a multivariate process by using TE process as an example. Principal component analysis (PCA) is a widely used dimension-reduction tool for monitoring multivariate linear process. Recently, the kernel principal component analysis ...

Compared to large process faults, the latent and small ones are difficult to be detected. However, the accumulation of these faults may even more harmful to the process. A novel fault detection and diagnosis method is proposed which is based on similarity factor and a variable moving window. The new method is based on the idea that a change of process can be reflected in the distribution of the...

Come with us to read a new book that is coming recently. Yeah, this is a new coming book that many people really want to read will you be one of them? Of course, you should be. It will not make you feel so hard to enjoy your life. Even some people think that reading is a hard to do, you must be sure that you can do it. Hard will be felt when you have no ideas about what kind of book to read. Or...

Previous work has demonstrated that gesture production is affected by common ground (shared background knowledge). For example, studies have demonstrated that new information gets larger, clearer gestures while old/shared information gets smaller, less precise gestures (Gerwing & Bavelas, 2004); new information is likely to be expressed in gesture (with or without speech) while shared informati...

Reichenbach’s use of ‘posits’ to defend his frequentistic theory of probability has been criticized on the grounds that it makes unfalsifiable predictions. The justice of this criticism has blinded many to Reichenbach’s second use of a posit, one that can fruitfully be applied to current debates within epistemology. We show first that Reichenbach’s alternative type of posit creates a difficulty...

In this work Peter principle (in the hierarchical structure any competent member tends to rise to his level of incompetence) is consistently interpreted as the discrete form of the well-known logistic (Verhulst or Maltusian) equation of the population dynamics. According to such interpretation anti-Peter principle (in the hierarchical structure any incompetent member tends to rise to his level ...

Forty five years after its publication, Ernest Gutmann’s book, “The Denervated Muscle,” still stands as a landmark publication. It summarized the state of knowledge of the time and introduced much new research that was ongoing at the Institute of Physiology in Prague. At the time, the response of a muscle to denervation was viewed primarily through the lens of the neurotrophic theory. Advances ...
