Multistage/multiphase is an inherent characteristic of many batch processes, which should be taken into consideration to ensure better batch process monitoring, analysis, quality prediction and improvement. In this paper, a series of stage-oriented multivariate statistical methods on such topics are reviewed. Then, the modeling problem of transition between stage and stage is discussed. A new p...

apoptosis, a form of programmed cell death that occurs under physiological as well as pathological conditions, is characterized by morphological and biochemical features. while the importance of caspases in apoptosis is established, several noncaspase proteases (ca2+-dependent proteases) such as calpain may play a role in the execution of apoptosis. the calpain family consists of two major isof...

This paper deals with the position control of Vertical Take-Off and Landing (VTOL) Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) without linear velocity measurements. We propose a multistage constructive procedure, exploiting the cascade property of the translational and rotational dynamics. More precisely, we consider the force as a virtual control input for the translational dynamics, from which we extract...

We present a stochastic framework to study signal transmission in a generic two-step cascade S→X→Y. Starting from a set of Langevin equations obeying Gaussian noise processes we calculate the variance and covariance while considering both linear and nonlinear production terms for different biochemical species of the cascade. These quantities are then used to calculate the net synergy within the...

The simplest high gain free electron laser (FEL) amplifier concept is proposed. A klystron amplifier has the useful property that the various electronic processes take place in separate portions of the amplifier, rather than overlapping as in FEL amplifier with an uniform undulator. The klystron consists of two fundamental parts: succession of 2-3 cascades (modulator), and an output undulator (...

in this paper electrical conductivity measurements and optical investigations takes place in aot/ heptane/ (water or aqueous) systems. the water in oil system prepared with adding water in 50% by weight of aot/ heptane solution.  in other systems instead of water, aqueous solutions of 1) zinc acetate and water 2) potassium hydroxide and water were used. in each phase, the trend of the electrica...

KEYWORDS In many manufacturing processes, the quality of a product is characterized by a non-linear relationship between a dependent variable and one or more independent variables. Using nonlinear regression for monitoring nonlinear profiles have been proposed in the literature of profile monitoring which is faced with two problems; 1) the distribution of regression coefficients in small sample...

Process monitoring through control charts is a quite popular practice in statistical process control. From a statistical point of view, a superior control chart is the one which has an efficient design structure, for the case of both known and unknown parameters. There are auxiliary information–based location charts for an improved monitoring of process mean level. These charting structures hav...
