Startup of distillation columns is one of the most difficult operations of chemical processes. Since it often lasts a period of time, leads to off-products and costs much energy, optimization of startup operating policies for distillation columns is of great interest in process industry. Most previous studies on column startup have been restricted to theoretical investigations such as modeling,...

In this paper, we describe two techniques for assuring a high integrity startup in a PC based computing environment. We begin with background information on PC startup procedures and current integrity threats against normal PC startup. We then describe a sound technique for assuring a high integrity startup and the basis for its soundness. Next we show a second method which is not sound, but wh...

Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a chronic autoimmune disease, featuring fibrosis in multiple organs. The serum from SSc patients contain inflammatory mediators, contributing to SSc pathogenesis and could be used to develop cell culture models. Here, we compared the fibrotic effects of serum samples from SSc patients with TGFβ1 on human dermal fibroblasts (HDFs). HDF cells were cultured in four diff...
