Abstract: We propose a free selective simplex for the downhill Nelder Mead simplex algorithm (1965), rather than the determinant simplex that forces its elements to perform a single operation, such as ...

Abstract: We report on a simple and fast method to estimate the fiber dispersion and laser chirp parameters on a dispersive Intensity Modulation and Direct Detection (IM/DD) optical channel. Based on ...

Process integration and optimization are important areas within process system engineering. It identifies targets and utilizes synergies in the overall production process, and minimizes the ...

ABSTRACT: Models are tools widely used in the prediction of hydrological phenomena. The present study aims to contribute to the implementation of an automatic optimization strategy of parameters for ...

Liquid–liquid emulsion systems are usually stabilized by additives, known as surfactants, which can be observed in various environments and applications such as oily bilgewater, water-entrained diesel ...

Gallic acid (GA) is a potential oxygen scavenger for food packaging applications. In this study we investigated the effect of temperature and relative humidity (RH) on the reaction kinetics of an ...
