Influence of the Location of the Internal Temperature Control Loop on the Performance of the Dual Temperature Control for Feed Temperature Disturbance

A control strategy with distributed corrective action for distillation has been proposed and consists of a conventional dual temperature control combined with an additional column tray. In this work, we evaluated the influence of the location of this internal loop as part of the new proposal, compared to a conventional system. Tests were carried out in a 13-column tray distillation equipment and feed temperature was disturbed. Two different column trays from the stripping section were used (11 and 12) for internal decentralized temperature control, each one separately, plus the dual control of top and bottom temperatures. The results demonstrated that this proposed control approach with distributed corrective action is faster than the conventional one, regardless of the column tray in use. It was also determined that the internal loop close to the feed (disturbance) is more interesting as a way to minimize transients

Research on the Cultivation of Business English Talents and the Teaching Mode of Business English in Colleges for Nationalities

With the development of society, the strengthening of economic globalization and the deepening of reform and open-up, Business English teaching is attracting more and more attention. But Business English teaching in colleges for nationalities is still facing many problems, hinders the improvement of Business English teaching quality and the development of Business English. Starting from the connotation of Business English, this paper reveals the common problems existing in Business English teaching, analyzes the causes and puts forward some reform measures, in order to cultivate well-educated Business English talents for the ethnic areas

Mass-transport-induced kinetic transitions during the electrochemical formation of three-dimensional dendritic silver deposits under ohmic control

The influence of mass transport processes on the growth of three-dimensional dendritic Ag deposits on a Pt quasi-spherical substrate at a relatively large cathodic overpotential has been investigated. After a certain induction time a first stage of dendritic growth of Ag can be observed. The deposit formed at this stage exhibits a fractal surface and non-fractal mass—volume properties. For charge densities greater than a certain critical value, a second stage of growth can be distinguished. At this second stage the contribution of free convection changes the shape of the deposit. The fastest growth of the Ag electrodeposit is determined by the rate of migration of sulphate ions in the electric field. A model accounting for the parametric relationships derived from the experiments is presented.Instituto de Investigaciones Fisicoquímicas Teóricas y Aplicada

Cost-effectiveness of a melanoma screening programme using whole disease modelling

OBJECTIVE: To assess the potential impact of a melanoma screening programme, compared with usual care, on direct costs and life expectancy in the era of targeted drugs and cancer immunotherapy. METHODS: Using a Whole Disease Model approach, a Markov simulation model with a time horizon of 25 years was devised to analyse the cost-effectiveness of a one-time, general practitioner-based melanoma screening strategy in the population aged over 20, compared with no screening. The study considered the most up-to-date drug therapy and was conducted from the perspective of the Veneto regional healthcare system within the Italian National Health Service. Only direct costs were considered. Sensitivity analyses, both one-way and probabilistic, were performed to identify the parameters with the greatest impact on cost-effectiveness, and to assess the robustness of our model. RESULTS: Over a 25-year time horizon, the screening intervention dominated usual care. The probabilistic sensitivity analyses confirmed the robustness of these findings. The key drivers of the model were the proportion of melanomas detected by the screening procedure and the adherence of the target population to the screening programme. CONCLUSIONS: The screening programme proved to be a dominant option compared with usual care. These findings should prompt serious consideration of the design and implementation of a regional or national melanoma screening strategy within a National Health Service
