Abstract. Regional climate models compute ice sheet surface mass balance (SMB) over a mask that defines the area covered by glacier ice, but masks have not been harmonised between models. Intercomparison studies of modelled SMB therefore use common mask. The in areas outside mask, which are typically coastal and high-precipitation regions, is discarded. Ice differences change integrated 40.5 14...

The impacts of blowing snow, a very common snow-air interactive process over Antarctica, are investigated with snow/ice enhanced Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF-ice) model for the surface energy budget (SEB) mass balance (SMB) modeling Larsen C Ice Shelf (LCIS), Antarctic Peninsula. net effect snow on LCIS' SMB is negative, because positive precipitation, reduced sublimation, transport mo...

Breweries generate a high amount of brewer’s spent grains (BSG), which is valuable feedstock for industrial applications. In the current study, techno-economic assessment flow-through subcritical water hydrolysis reactor to produce sugars from BSG was performed. Simulations were done sequential process in three-extractor vessels 10 L (pilot-plant) and 500 (industrial-plant), coupled or not sepa...

A new analytical design approach for operating conditions determination of solvent gra‐ dient simulated moving bed (SG-SMB) processes was proposed, which was based on the equilibrium theory. Also a new implemented simulator for SG-SMB was proposed to evaluate the new design approach. The simulator was totally developed in FORTRAN 90/95, assuming a stepwise modeling approach with a lumped mass t...

Several molecular assays to detect resistance to Rifampin, the Fluoroquinolones, and Aminoglycosides in Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M. tuberculosis) have been recently described. A systematic approach for comparing these assays in the laboratory is needed in order to determine the relative advantage of each assay and to decide which ones should be advanced to evaluation. We performed an analyti...

The expression of specific transcription factors determines the differentiated features of postmitotic neurons. However, the mechanism by which specific molecules determine neuronal cell fate and the extent to which the functions of transcription factors are conserved in evolution are not fully understood. In C. elegans, the cholinergic and peptidergic SMB sensory/inter/motor neurons innervate ...

To estimate the sea level rise (SLR) originating from changes in surface mass balance (SMB) of the Greenland ice sheet (GrIS), we present 21st century climate projections obtained with the regional climate model MAR (Modèle Atmosphérique Régional), forced by output of three CMIP5 (Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 5) general circulation models (GCMs). Our results indicate that in a wa...

Simulated Moving Bed (SMB) chromatographic separation processes show typical hybrid phenomena: Discrete state jumps and switching dynamics. The SMB principle and two modelling approaches based on hybrid automaton are presented and discussed within the context of hybrid systems theory. It is shown how these models are affected by open-loop and closed-loop control.
