Simulation of vacuum membrane distillation process for desalination with Aspen Plus

YesThis paper presents a simulation study of vacuum membrane distillation (VMD) for desalination. A simulation model was built on Aspen Plus® platform as user defined unit operation for VMD module. A simplified mathematical model was verified and the analysis of process performance based on simulation was also carried out. Temperature and concentration polarization effects are significant in the conditions of higher feed temperature and/or vacuum pressure. The sign of difference of the vapour pressures between at the membrane interfaces, is a pointer of the vacuum pressure threshold. Increasing the vacuum pressure at lower feed temperature is an effective way to increase the permeate flux and reduce the energy consumption simultaneously

Wall-crossing, free fermions and crystal melting

We describe wall-crossing for local, toric Calabi-Yau manifolds without compact four-cycles, in terms of free fermions, vertex operators, and crystal melting. Firstly, to each such manifold we associate two states in the free fermion Hilbert space. The overlap of these states reproduces the BPS partition function corresponding to the non-commutative Donaldson-Thomas invariants, given by the modulus square of the topological string partition function. Secondly, we introduce the wall-crossing operators which represent crossing the walls of marginal stability associated to changes of the B-field through each two-cycle in the manifold. BPS partition functions in non-trivial chambers are given by the expectation values of these operators. Thirdly, we discuss crystal interpretation of such correlators for this whole class of manifolds. We describe evolution of these crystals upon a change of the moduli, and find crystal interpretation of the flop transition and the DT/PT transition. The crystals which we find generalize and unify various other Calabi-Yau crystal models which appeared in literature in recent years.Comment: 61 pages, 14 figures, published versio

Cash flow is the basis for financial calculations and the management of financialstatements carried out by the company and its routine activities. Improper financialstatement management and unstable income and expenditure streams will result in acrisis for the company in the future. The effectiveness of cash flow is a measure of theextent to which the success of cash flow has an impact on the achievement andconsideration of the consequences that will be received by the company. The purpose ofthis study was to determine whether the management of financial statements owned byPT. Mabar Mitra Bersama affects the effectiveness of cash flow. The population of thisstudy are 42 employees of PT. Mabar Mitra Bersama where 30 employees of the financedepartment are the sample in this study. Simple linear regression test is a data analysistechnique used by the author in this study with the type of data used in the form ofquantitative data collected from respondents who filled out questionnaires. Based on theresults of the research that has been done, the value of the financial statementmanagement variable has a significance smaller than the probability value of 0.05, or thevalue of 0.000 <0.05, then Ha is accepted, H0 is rejected. Variable X has a t arithmeticvalue (21.935) greater than t table (2.048) so it can be concluded that the managementof financial statements has a significant influence on the effectiveness of cash flows andit can be seen that the contribution of financial management in influencing theeffectiveness of cash flows is 94 .5% while other variables only affect 5.5%

Quantum correlation games

A new approach to play games quantum mechanically is proposed. We consider two players who perform measurements in an EPR-type setting. The payoff relations are defined as functions of correlations, i.e. without reference to classical or quantum mechanics. Classical bi-matrix games are reproduced if the input states are classical and perfectly anti-correlated, that is, for a classical correlation game. However, for a quantum correlation game, with an entangled singlet state as input, qualitatively different solutions are obtained. For example, the Prisoners' Dilemma acquires a Nash equilibrium if both players apply a mixed strategy. It appears to be conceptually impossible to reproduce the properties of quantum correlation games within the framework of classical games

Undetermined and accidental mortality rates as possible sources of underreported suicides: population-based study comparing Islamic countries and traditionally religious Western countries.

BACKGROUND: Four Western countries (Greece, Ireland, Italy and Portugal) with strong Orthodox and Catholic traditions have been associated with the underreporting of death by suicide, and underreported suicides are sometimes found among deaths recorded as 'undetermined' or 'accidental'. AIMS: This population-based study tests whether there are any significant difference in patterns of suicides, undetermined deaths and accidental deaths between these four Western countries and 21 predominately Islamic countries. METHOD: World Health Organization age-standardised death rates per million population were used to compare suicide rates with combined undetermined death and accidental death (UnD+AccD) rates, from which odds ratios were calculated. Substantial odds ratios (OR > 2.0) were taken as indicative of likely underreporting of suicides. The Islamic countries come from four different historico-cultural regions, described as: less-traditional Islamic countries; former USSR countries; Gulf Arab states; and Middle Eastern and North African countries. χ2-tests were used to determine any significant differences between the Western comparator countries and the Islamic regions. RESULTS: For the Western comparator countries, the average suicide rate was 66 per million population, the average undetermined death rate 56 per million and the average accidental death rate 58 per million, yielding a suicide:UnD+AccD odds ratio (OR) of 1.73. The average values for the other three groups were as follows. Less-traditional Islamic countries: suicide rate, 31 per million; UnD+AccD rate, 101 per million; suicide:UnD+AccD OR = 3.3. Former USSR countries: suicide rate, 61 per million; UnD+AccD rate, 221 per million; suicide:UnD+AccD OR = 3.6. Gulf Arab states: suicide rate, 10 per million; UnD+AccD rate, 76 per million; suicide:UnD+AccD OR = 8.6. Middle Eastern and North African countries: suicide rate, 6 per million; UnD+AccD rate, 151 per million; suicide:UnD+AccD OR = 25.2. The patterns of these mortalities in the Islamic countries was significantly different from Western comparator countries. CONCLUSIONS: The results indicate underreporting of suicides in Islamic countries. This might inadvertently lead to reduced access to mental health preventive services in both Western and Islamic countries

Strategi Pemberantasan Korupsi Di Indonesia Menggunakan Inspection Game

Korupsi telah menjadi masalah utama dan menjadi agenda terpenting bangsa Indonesia. Praktik korupsi di Indonesia telah mengakar dan membudaya serta merambah keberbagai sektor. Beranjak dari pemikiran tersebut, maka penulis melakukan analisis inspection game dengan implementasi pada kasus di Indonesia. Pemikiran penulis dilandasi atas penelitian sebelumnya yang dilakukan oleh Tsebelis(1989) dan Pradiptyo(2007). Inspection game ini merupakan salah satu permainan pada game theory – alat analisis yang mempelajari hubungan interaktif antara dua atau lebih agen yang rasional (Pradiptyo, 2007). Penulis menemukan bahwa adanya Perubahan sanksi dalam UU Tipikor dapat merubah referensi seseorang untuk membatalkan niatnya melakukan korupsi. Dengan demikian, model inspection game, bisa menjadi salah satu cara untuk menciptakan strategi dalam yang efektif dan efisien dalam mereduksi praktik korupsi di Indonesia

Potentials of molecular based breeding to enhance drought tolerance in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)

The ability of plant to sustain itself in limited water conditions is crucial in the world of agriculture. To breed for drought tolerance in wheat, it is essential to clearly understand drought tolerant mechanisms. Conventional breeding is time consuming and labor intensive being inefficient with low heritability traits like drought tolerance. Recent progress made in the field of genomics enabling us to access genes linked with drought tolerance has enhanced our understanding of this complex phenomenon. The purpose of this review paper was to briefly overview the accomplishments in molecular breeding for drought tolerance in wheat. Thus, by knowing the genetics of drought tolerance and identifying quantitative trait loci (QTLs) linked with DNA markers will help wheat breeders to develop high yielding drought tolerant cultivars.Key words: Triticum aestivum L, drought tolerance, QTLs, marker assisted selection (MAS)

Improvement of multicomponent batch reactive distillation under parameter uncertainty by inferential state with model predictive control

yesBatch reactive distillation is aimed at achieving a high purity product, therefore, there is a great deal to find an optimal operating condition and effective control strategy to obtain maximum of the high purity product. An off-line dynamic optimization is first performed with an objective function to provide optimal product composition for the batch reactive distillation: maximum productivity. An inferential state estimator (an extended Kalman filter, EKF) based on simplified mathematical models and on-line temperature measurements, is incorporated to estimate the compositions in the reflux drum and the reboiler. Model Predictive Control (MPC) has been implemented to provide tracking of the desired product compositions subject to simplified model equations. Simulation results demonstrate that the inferential state estimation can provide good estimates of compositions. Therefore, the control performance of the MPC with the inferential state is better than that of PID. In addition, in the presence of unknown/uncertain parameters (forward reaction rate constant), the estimator is still able to provide accurate concentrations. As a result, the MPC with the inferential state is still robust and applicable in real plants
