Time dependency and irreversibility of water desorption by drinking-water treatment residuals: implications for sorption mechanisms

Drinking-water treatment residuals (WTRs) are being evaluated as cost-effective sorption media for use in environmental remediation. Data from previous work have suggested that intraparticle phosphorus (P) diffusion into micropores is the rate-limiting mechanism of P sorption by WTRs. We used isothermal thermogravimetric analysis (TG) to study water desorption/resorption dynamics as they relate to steric diffusion rate limitations for prospective sorbates. Results showed that air-dried WTR particles contain significant amounts of water. Only about 40% of water desorbed isothermally (70 degrees C) for 10 h was readsorbed when particles were reexposed to ambient temperature and moisture conditions. This hysteresis related closely with time dependency of water loss, suggesting steric diffusional hindrance of water re-adsorption by meso- and micropores. The irreversibly desorbed water may be the component requiring increased kinetic energy to overcome diffusional resistance. Another possible factor in irreversibility could be pore shrinkage. Samples incubated for 12 months at 70 degrees C prior to TG analysis showed no hysteresis at 70 degrees C. Isothermal water losses with time fit well (r2 = 0.95) the diffusion model of Kabai. These results are consistent with an aqueous pore network that would account for high phosphorus sorption capacity and hysteresis that has been recently documented for WTRs.     

Extending the choice of starting points for Newton's method

In this paper, we propose a center Lipschitz condition for the second derivative together with the use of restricted domains in order to improve the starting points for Newton's method when compared with previous results. Moreover, we present some numerical examples validating the theoretical results.     

Extremal subgraphs of random graphs

We prove that there is a constant c > 0, such that whenever p ≥ n^‐c, with probability tending to 1 when n goes to infinity, every maximum triangle‐free subgraph of the random graph G_n,p is bipartite. This answers a question of Babai, Simonovits and Spencer (Babai et al., J Graph Theory 14 (1990) 599–622). The proof is based on a tool of independent interest: we show, for instance, that the maximum cut of almost all graphs with M edges, where M ? n and M ≤ /2, is “nearly unique”. More precisely, given a maximum cut C of G_n,M, we can obtain all maximum cuts by moving at most \begin{align*}\mathcal{O}(\sqrt{n^3/M})\end{align*} vertices between the parts of C. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

In situ small angle X-ray scattering and benzene adsorption on polymer-based carbon hollow fiber membranes

The structural changes and the mechanism of benzene adsorption on microporous carbon hollow fiber membranes with different surface and pore network properties have been investigated by in situ small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) and benzene adsorption. Benzene adsorption measurements have been carried out in situ with SAXS alongside an adsorption/desorption isotherm cycle at 293 K with the aid of a specially constructed adsorption sample cell. In addition low-pressure C₆H₆ and high-pressure CO₂, CH₄ and N₂ adsorption isotherms have been performed. Two carbon hollow fiber membranes, both prepared by controlled pyrolysis procedures of polyimide membrane precursor, were under study. During benzene adsorption the intensity of the SAXS curves changes in a way that depends on how the pores are filled and the contrast fluctuations occur. The SAXS data have been modeled by evaluating the form factor of lamellar micropores upon filling with C₆H₆. The existence of ultra micropores within the surrounding matrix was also taken into account. The results suggest that the arrangement of the ultra micropores on the non-activated membrane is in such a way that the access of benzene to the micropores is restricted, resulting in an incomplete filling. On the other hand, the activation process generates a more accessible pore network where the micropores are completely filled.     

Theoretical and algorithmic advances in multi-parametric programming and control

This paper presents an overview of recent theoretical and algorithmic advances, and applications in the areas of multi-parametric programming and explicit/multi-parametric model predictive control (mp-MPC). In multi-parametric programming, advances include areas such as nonlinear multi-parametric programming (mp-NLP), bi-level programming, dynamic programming and global optimization for multi-parametric mixed-integer linear programming problems (mp-MILPs). In multi-parametric/explicit MPC (mp-MPC), advances include areas such as robust multi-parametric control, multi-parametric nonlinear MPC (mp-NMPC) and model reduction in mp-MPC. A comprehensive framework for multi-parametric programming and control is also presented. Recent applications include a hydrogen storage device, a fuel cell power generation system, an unmanned autonomous vehicle (UAV) and a hybrid pressure swing adsorption (PSA) system.     

A survey on algorithmic approaches for solving tourist trip design problems

The tourist trip design problem (TTDP) refers to a route-planning problem for tourists interested in visiting multiple points of interest (POIs). TTDP solvers derive daily tourist tours, i.e., ordered visits to POIs, which respect tourist constraints and POIs attributes. The main objective of the problem discussed is to select POIs that match tourist preferences, thereby maximizing tourist satisfaction, while taking into account a multitude of parameters and constraints (e.g., distances among POIs, visiting time required for each POI, POIs visiting days/hours, entrance fees, weather conditions) and respecting the time available for sightseeing on a daily basis. The aim of this work is to survey models, algorithmic approaches and methodologies concerning tourist trip design problems. Recent approaches are examined, focusing on problem models that best capture a multitude of realistic POIs attributes and user constraints; further, several interesting TTDP variants are investigated. Open issues and promising prospects in tourist trip planning research are also discussed.
