Gas Chromatography-Vacuum UV Spectroscopy (GC-VUV) has seen increased attention in many areas, however, a statistical optimization of VUV method parameters has not been published. This article presents the first statistical optimization of parameters influencing analytes such as cocaine in the VUV flow-cell. Flow-cell temperature, make-up gas press...

Diamond burnishing is a surface modification method aimed at improvements in the surface integrity (SI) and operating behavior of metal components. A cost-effective optimization approach for increasing the fatigue strength of diamond-burnished steel components has been developed. The basic idea is that the fatigue strength can be controlled by cont...

An artificially ventilated human respiratory system is used to help breathing of a patient with respiratory problem. The level of oxygen is maintained stable by controlling the airway pressure in the lungs mechanism with the help of medical ventilator. For pressure control in a ventilator, the airway pressure in lungs mechanism is controlled by a m...

DC distribution systems are a promising alternative to existing AC distribution systems. They connect customers to local energy sources without conversion, thus reducing power losses. However, the unique features of DC impose strict requirements for system operation compared to AC. Within the context of a liberalized energy market, this article dem...

We have proven the overall applicability of the novel sonoreactor VialTweeter as a tool for a fast, miniaturized and economical extraction of trace elements, namely Cu, Zn, As, Cd, Pb, from soil samples, followed by ICP-MS. The proposed analytical approach applicable in the context of environmental monitoring of elemental soil pollutants, since the...

Climate change and deterioration require a continuous effort to reinforce flood defences and meet reliability requirements. To efficiently upgrade flood defence systems, insight in costs and benefits of measures at a system level is required throughout the process of planning and design. Due to the size of flood defence systems the number of possib...

Compression index Cc is an essential parameter in geotechnical design for which the effectiveness of correlation is still a challenge. This paper suggests a novel modelling approach using machine learning (ML) technique. The performance of five commonly used machine learning (ML) algorithms, i.e. back-propagation neural network (BPNN), extreme lear...

The method of quasicollinear acousto-optic tunable filters (AOTFs) piezoelectric transducer dimensions optimization is presented. The AOTFs with large interaction length apply the bulk acoustic wave (BAW) reflection from the input optical facet. Optimization is based on spectral approach to simulation of the BAW field in anisotropic media and Raman...
