In this paper, we consider a nonlinear multi-stage dynamic system to characterize batch culture. We construct corresponding linear variational system for the solution to the multi-stage system, also prove the boundedness of fundamental matrix solutions for the linear variational system. On this basis, we prove strong stability with respect to perturbance of initial state vector for the multi-stage system through the application of such boundedness. From extensive simulation study, it is observed that the strong stability is highly satisfactory.

Most economic and industrial processes are governed by inherently nonlinear dynamic system in which mathematical analysis (with few exceptions) is unable to provide general solutions; even the conditions to the existence of equilibrium point for the nonlinear dynamic system are simply not established in some special cases. In this paper, based on numerical solution of a nonlinear multi-stage automatic control dynamic (NMACD) in fed-batch culture of glycerol bioconversion to 1,3-propanediol (1,3-PD) induced by Klebsiella pneumoniae (K. pneumoniae), we consider an optimal design of the NMACD system. For convenience, the NMACD system is reconstructed together with the existence, uniqueness and continuity of solutions are discussed. Our goal is to prove the strong stability with respect to the perturbation of initial state for the solution to the NMACD system. To this end, we construct corresponding linear variational system for the solution to the NMACD system, and also prove the boundedness of fundamental matrix solutions to the linear variational system. On this basis, we prove the strong stability appearing above through the application of this boundedness.

In this paper, we consider a nonlinear hybrid dynamic (NHD) system to describe fed-batch culture where there is no analytical solutions and no equilibrium points. Our goal is to prove the strong stability with respect to initial state for the NHD system. To this end, we construct corresponding linear variational system (LVS) for the solution of the NHD system, also prove the boundedness of fundamental matrix solutions for the LVS. On this basis, the strong stability is proved by such boundedness.

Since 1983 approximately 150 full-scale emergent hydrophyte based wastewater treatment plants (reed beds) have been constructed in Denmark to serve small wastewater producers. The development of purification performance for 21 plants representing different soil types, vegetation, and hydraulic loading rates has been recorded. Cleaning efficiencies were typically in the range of 60-80% reduction for BOD, 25-50% reduction for total nitrogen, and 20-40% reduction for total phosphorus. The mean effluent BOD, total nitrogen and total phosphorus concentrations of the reed beds were 19 ± 10, 22 ± 9 and 6.7 ± 3.2 mg/l (mean ± SD), respectively. Thus, the general Danish effluent standards of 8 mg/l for N and 1.5 mg/l for P for sewage plants greater than 5,000 PE cannot be met by the present realised design of EHTS. The main problem observed in most systems is a poor development of horizontal hydraulic conductivity in the soil which results in surface run-off. Since the political demands for effluent quality will be more strict in the future, it is important to improve the performance of small decentral sewage treatment plants. On the basis of experiences from different types of macrophyte based and conventional low-technology wastewater treatment systems, a multi-stage system is suggested, consisting of sedimentation and sand filtration facilities followed by basins planted with emergent and submergent species of macrophytes and algal ponds.

AbstractMany real data sets contain numerical features (variables) whose distribution is far from normal (Gaussian). Instead, their distribution is often skewed. In order to handle such data it is customary to preprocess the variables to make them more normal. The Box–Cox and Yeo–Johnson transformations are well-known tools for this. However, the standard maximum likelihood estimator of their transformation parameter is highly sensitive to outliers, and will often try to move outliers inward at the expense of the normality of the central part of the data. We propose a modification of these transformations as well as an estimator of the transformation parameter that is robust to outliers, so the transformed data can be approximately normal in the center and a few outliers may deviate from it. It compares favorably to existing techniques in an extensive simulation study and on real data.

An absorption air-conditioning system is a good choice for green buildings. It has the superiority in the utilization of renewable energy and the refrigerant is environment-friendly. However, the performance of the traditional absorption system has been restricted by the energy waste in the thermal regeneration process. Capacitive deionization (CDI) regeneration is proposed as a potential method to improve system efficiency. In the new method-based air-conditioning system, strong absorbent solutions and pure water are acquired with the joint work of two CDI units. Nevertheless, the practical CDI device is composed of a lot of CDI units, which is quite different from the theoretical model. To reveal the performance of multiple CDI units, the model of the double/multi-stage CDI system has been developed. Analysis has been made to expose the influence of some key parameters. The results show the double-stage system has better performance than the single-stage system under certain conditions. The coefficient of performance (COP) could exceed 4.5, which is higher than the traditional thermal energy-driven system, or even as competitive as the vapor compression system. More stages with proper voltage distribution better the performance. It also provides the optimization method for the multi-stage CDI system.
