the oxidative coupling of methane (ocm) performance over na-w-mn/sio2 at elevated pressures has been simulated by adaptive neuro fuzzy inference system (anfis) using reaction data gathered in an isothermal fixed bed microreactor. in the designed neuro fuzzy models, three important parameters such as methane to oxygen ratio, gas hourly space velocity (ghsv), and reaction temperature were conside...

using surface analysis, simultaneous effects of temperature (260-380ºc) and ethanol concentration (0-1%) on dimethyl ether (dme) selectivity, yields of hydrocarbon and dme, and methanol conversion were investigated in methanol dehydration reaction over γ-al2o3 catalyst. methanol conversion and yield of hydrocarbon/dme were found to be significantly affected by temperature and the temperature-et...

The fabrication of galactose biosensor based on functionalised ZnO nanorods is described. The galactose biosensor was developed by immobilizing galactose oxidase on ZnO nanorods in conjunction with glutaraldehyde as a cross-linker molecule. The IRAS study provided evidence for the interaction of galactose oxidase with the surface of ZnO nanorods. The electromotive force (EMF) response of the ga...

We present an econometric technique for modeling endogenous selectivity in households’ quantity outcomes as observed in scanner panel data. Simultaneous models of incidence, brand choice and quantity, that treat quantity outcomes as count data, ignore such self-selectivity considerations in quantity outcomes. Previously proposed approaches to modeling selectivity in continuous quantity outcomes...

Using surface analysis, simultaneous effects of temperature (260-380ºC) and ethanol concentration (0-1%) on dimethyl ether (DME) selectivity, yields of hydrocarbon and DME, and methanol conversion were investigated in methanol dehydration reaction over γ-Al2O3 catalyst. Methanol conversion and yield of hydrocarbon/DME were found to be significantly affected by temperature and the temperature-et...

Various process modeling formalisms have been leveraged to specify service compositions. For assessing the expressiveness of similar languages and for providing best practice knowledge, patterns have frequently been proposed. However, the pattern catalogs proposed do not all share and document the criteria that were used for assessing pattern support. Furthermore, the scaling of the support mea...

Recording of sensory information from afferent fibers can be used as feedback for the closed-loop control of neural prostheses. Clinical applications suggest that recording selectively from various nerve fascicles is important. Current nerve cuff electrodes are generally circular in shape and use a tripolar recording configuration. Preliminary experiments suggest that slowly changing the shape ...
