The aim of this research is to develop a system to support video artists. Design rationales of software for artists should be obtained through investigating artists' practice. In this study, we have analysed the process of making a video sequence in collaboration with an experienced video artist. Based on this analysis we identified design rationales for a system to support the process of makin...

This study presents the development of a plug flow crystallization (PFC) platform consisting of a vortex mixer combined with a tubular reactor. Process analytical technologies (FBRM, PVM, FT-IR) were applied in-situ in order to characterize and optimize crystallizations via the use of novel flow cells. In addition to this a new calibration free method for concentration monitoring was successful...

This paper is focused on a comprehensive study of neural network (NN) model based predictive control (MPC), as an operation strategy for a fed-batch sugar crystallizer. The process is divided into four subsequent control loops and for each of them an individual NN-based MPC is designed. The operation is tested for a number of scenarios and is compared with alternative (linear and batch nonlinea...

It is generally assumed that hypersaline environments with sodium chloride concentrations close to saturation are dominated by halophilic members of the domain Archaea, while Bacteria are not considered to be relevant in this kind of environment. Here, we report the high abundance and growth of a new group of hitherto-uncultured Bacteria in crystallizer ponds (salinity, from 30 to 37%) from mul...

In the process of continuous casting, the melted steel from the melting pot is passed, through the intermediary of the distributor, in the water-cooled crystallizer tank. In this way, a crust forms here which is solidified at the exterior, and one of the great problems is its cracking or even its tearing, due to several factors. This phenomenon determines the stopping of the technologic process...

• Development of a novel simulation tool for magnesium membrane crystallizer. Use selective membranes allows low-cost alkaline reactants. Original experimental information in batch and feed & bleed configurations. Model validation via comparison with experiments use process analysis. Increasing attention is nowadays paid to the management valorisation industrial waste brines aiming also at reco...
