Optimization of Process Flowsheets through Metaheuristic Techniques

This book presents a multi-objective optimization framework for optimizing chemical processes. The proposed framework implements a link between process simulators and metaheuristic techniques. The proposed approach is general, and there can be used any process simulator and any metaheuristic technique. This book shows how to implement links between different process simulators such as Aspen Plus®, HYSYS®, SuperPro Designer®, and others, linked to metaheuristic techniques implemented in Matlab®, Excel®, C++, or other programs. This way, the proposed framework allows optimizing any process flowsheet implemented in the process simulator and using the metaheuristic technique, and this way the numerical complications through the optimization process can be eliminated. Furthermore, the proposed framework allows using the thermodynamic, design, and constitutive equations implemented in the process simulator to implement any process

Life, death and resurrection of mining cities: territorial strategies to write a different story

In this research we will analyze the cities development by and for mining explotation, their economic dynamism, their evolution, their decline, or their regeneration in certain cases. We will try to reveal the common patterns that mining cities present in the world, the problems and the potential they have to generate a new development, through the study of a couple of cases: the city of Trbovlje, in Slovenia.and and the city of Andacollo in Chile. This work seeks to show the importance of implementing territorial strategies and taking measures in those cities before mining closes, in order to plan its continuation when mining production comes to an end. European examples will be analyzed seeing how the decline of the activity can mean the crisis of a settlement, due to the difficulty of transforming the economic activity of these places, since it is difficult to replace the level of prosperity that mining provides with other activities. Being condemned many times to death and abandonment. We will see how the implementation of certain territorial planning strategies can mean the resurrection of these cities. It is intended to parallel the European case with that of Chile, the main copper producer in the world, where Andacollo is a fully active mining city, in which implementing certain territorial strategies could contribute to directing its future to a sustainable development for their habitants.En esta investigación analizaremos las ciudades desarrolladas por y para la explotación minera, su dinamismo económico, su evolución, el declive, o su regeneración en ciertos casos. Intentaremos desvelar los patrones comunes que presentan las ciudades mineras en el mundo, los problemas y el potencial que tienen para generar un nuevo desarrollo, a través del estudio de un par de casos: la ciudad de Trbovlje, en Eslovenia y Andacollo en Chile. Este trabajo busca mostrar la importancia de implantar estrategias territoriales y tomar medidas en aquellas ciudades antes del cierre de la minería, de modo de poder planificar su continuación cuando la producción minera llega a su fin Se analizarán ejemplos europeos viendo como el declive de la actividad puede significar la crisis de un asentamiento, por la dificultad de transformar la actividad económica de estos lugares, ya que resulta difícil remplazar el nivel de prosperidad que entrega la minería por otras actividades. Siendo condenadas muchas veces a la muerte y abandono.  Veremos como la implementación de ciertas estrategias de planificación territorial puede significar, la resurrección de estas ciudades. Se pretende poner en paralelo, el caso europeo con el de Chile, principal productor de cobre en el mundo, donde se encuentra Andacollo ciudad minera en plena actividad, en la cual implementar ciertas estrategias territoriales podría aportar a encauzar su futuro a un desarrollo sostenible para sus habitantes.Peer Reviewe

Boys-Specific Text-Comprehension Enhancement With Dual Visual-Auditory Text Presentation Among 12–14 Years-Old Students

Quality of language comprehension determines performance in all kinds of activities including academics. Processing of words initially develops as auditory, and gradually extends to visual as children learn to read. School failure is highly related to listening and reading comprehension problems. In this study we analyzed sex-differences in comprehension of texts in Spanish (standardized reading test PROLEC-R) in three modalities (visual, auditory, and both simultaneously: dual-modality) presented to 12–14-years old students, native in Spanish. We controlled relevant cognitive variables such as attention (d2), phonological and semantic fluency (FAS) and speed of processing (WISC subtest Coding). Girls’ comprehension was similar in the three modalities of presentation, however boys were importantly benefited by dual-modality as compared to boys exposed only to visual or auditory text presentation. With respect to the relation of text comprehension and school performance, students with low grades in Spanish showed low auditory comprehension. Interestingly, visual and dual modalities preserved comprehension levels in these low skilled students. Our results suggest that the use of visual-text support during auditory language presentation could be beneficial for low school performance students, especially boys, and encourage future research to evaluate the implementation in classes of the rapidly developing technology of simultaneous speech transcription, that could be, in addition, beneficial to non-native students, especially those recently incorporated into school or newly arrived in a country from abroad.This project was funded by the Universidad Internacional de la Rioja grant to all authors (Proyecto Retos de Investigación B0036-1819).

Dependence From The Perspective Of Primary Caregivers Of People With Disabilities

The paper is focused on informal caregivers of people with disabilities, particularly in mentally handicapped persons. Informal caregiver refers to those relatives, friends or any person who make this task without any formal economic remuneration. Only in few cases, caregivers are able to receive some economic aid by the administration. We develop a questionnaire to analyze personal, familiar, economic and social situation of primary caregivers. The empirical results are based on a sample of 128 caregivers of a spanish association created for people with disabilities

Effect of high hydrostatic pressure and activated film packaging on bacterial diversity of fruit puree

The aim of the present study was to determine the effect of high hydrostatic pressure (HP) and films activated with a combination of enterocin AS-48 and thymol (AF) on the microbial load and bacterial diversity of fruit puree (banana, apple, pear). HP and AF were applied singly, or in combination (AFHP). Samples were chillstored. HP and AFHP treatments reduced viable counts significantly (P≤0.05). The predominant bacterial groups in the puree were fam. Comamonadaceae (23.17%) and genera Methylobacterium (21.46%), Acidovorax (8.70%) and Sphingomonas (6.63%). Pseudomonas became relevant by the end of storage (10.50%). Most of the AF samples had higher relative abundances of Comamonadaceae, Methylobacterium, Acidovorax and Sphingomonas and lower relative abundance of Pseudomonas. Application of HP treatment markedly reduced the relative abundances of Comamonadaceae, Methylobacterium, Acidovorax and Sphingomonas. Lactobacillales increased in relative abundance upon application of HP treatment but not during storage, while Pseudomonas increased towards the end of storage. The combined treatment (AFHP) achieved greatest reduction in the relative abundances of Comamonadaceae and Methylobacterium. Results indicate that AFHP treatment had greatest effects on the bacterial diversity of the fruit puree and was also the most effective in keeping total aerobic mesophiles and Enterobacteriaceae below detectable levels.We acknowledge the University of Jaen research grants UJA2014/ 06/25 and AGR230

Finite Sampling in Multiple Generated U-Invariant Subspaces

The relevance in a sampling theory of U-invariant subspaces of a Hilbert space H, where U denotes a unitary operator on H, is nowadays a recognized fact. Indeed, shift-invariant subspaces of L-2(R) become a particular example; periodic extensions of finite signals also provide a remarkable example. As a consequence, the availability of an abstract U-sampling theory becomes a useful tool to handle these problems. In this paper, we derive a sampling theory for finite dimensional multiple generated U-invariant subspaces of a Hilbert space H. As the involved samples are identified as frame coefficients in a suitable euclidean space, the relevant mathematical technique is that of the finite frame theory. Since finite frames are nothing but spanning sets of vectors, the used technique naturally meets matrix analysis

The role of heart rate on the associations between body composition and heart rate variability in children with overweight/obesity : the ActiveBrains project

Background: Heart rate variability (HRV) is negatively associated with body mass index and adiposity in several populations. However, less information is available about this association in children with overweight and obesity, especially severe/morbid obesity, taking into consideration the dependence of HRV on heart rate (HR). Objectives: (1) to examine associations between body composition measures and HRV, (2) to study differences in HRV between children with overweight and severe/morbid obesity; and (3) to test whether relationships and differences tested in objectives 1 and 2, respectively are explained by the dependency of HRV on HR. Methods: A total of 107 children with overweight/obesity (58% boys, 10.03 +/- 1.13 years) participated in this study. Body composition measures were evaluated by Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA). HRV parameters were measured with Polar RS800CXR (R). Results: Body composition measures were negatively associated with HRV indicators of parasympathetic activity (beta values ranging from -0.207 to -0.307, all p 0.05). Conclusion: All associations between adiposity/obesity and HRV could be explained by HR, suggesting a key confounding role of HR in HRV studies in children with weight disturbances
