1. Determination of Copper and Cadmium in Petroleum Produced Formation Water by Electrothermal Atomic Absorption Spectrometry after Cloud Point Extraction
Cloud point extraction (CPE) in association with graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry (GF AAS) was proposed for preconcentration and quantification of trace amounts of copper and cadmium in samples of saline produced formation water from petroleum exploration. The procedure was based on the formation of hydrophobic complexes of the analytes with 1

2. A New Hybrid Preconditioner for the Interior Point Method
RESUMO Este trabalho visa melhorar o cálculo da direção de busca no Método de Pontos Interiores primal-dual usando métodos iterativos precondicionados. Trata-se de uma abordagem híbrida que combina o precondicionador Fatoração Controlada de Cholesky e o precondicionador Separador. Esta abordagem tem mostrado bons resultados, entretanto, nesses préco

3. Multi-objective optimization with Kriging surrogates using “moko”, an open source package
Abstract Many modern real-world designs rely on the optimization of multiple competing goals. For example, most components designed for the aerospace industry must meet some conflicting expectations. In such applications, low weight, low cost, high reliability, and easy manufacturability are desirable. In some cases, bounds for these requirements are not cle

4. PERFORMANCE COMPARISON OF SCENARIO-GENERATION METHODS APPLIED TO A STOCHASTIC OPTIMIZATION ASSET-LIABILITY MANAGEMENT MODEL
ABSTRACT In this paper, we provide an empirical discussion of the differences among some scenario tree-generation approaches for stochastic programming. We consider the classical Monte Carlo sampling and Moment matching methods. Moreover, we test the Resampled average approximation, which is an adaptation of Monte Carlo sampling and Monte Carlo with naive al

5. Multivariate optimization of a method for antimony determination by hydride generation atomic fluorescence spectrometry in hair samples of patients undergoing chemotherapy against Leishmaniasis
ABSTRACT A method was developed for determination of total antimony in hair samples from patients undergoing chemotherapy against Leishmaniasis based on the administration of pentavalent antimonial drugs. The method is based on microwave assisted digestion of the samples in a pressurized system, reduction of Sb5+ to Sb3+ with KI solution (10% w/v) in ascorbi

6. Design Optimization of a Random Suspension Device Considering a Reliability Constraint on the Frequency Response Function
Abstract This work deals with the design of a suspension device, idealized as a spring-mass-damper system. The amplitude of a nominal system is constrained to satisfy certain limitations in a given frequency band and the design is to be done as a reliability-based optimization. This constitutes a major difficulty since the constraint becomes a random process

7. Multivariate Optimization of a Simultaneous Cloud Point Extraction Procedure of Cd, Cu and Ni from Sediments Samples and Determination by ICP OES
A simultaneous preconcentration method for cadmium, copper and nickel in samples of sediments and determination by inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry was developed. The method is based on the extraction of the metals as complexes formed with 2-(5-bromo-2-pyridylazo)-5-(diethylamino)-phenol (5-Br-PADAP) at cloud point of the nonionic sur

8. A MODEL SELECTION PROCEDURE IN MIXTURE-PROCESS EXPERIMENTS FOR INDUSTRIAL PROCESS OPTIMIZATION
We present a model selection procedure for use in Mixture and Mixture-Process Experiments. Certain combinations of restrictions on the proportions of the mixture components can result in a very constrained experimental region. This results in collinearity among the covariates of the model, which can make it difficult to fit the model using the traditional me

9. Improved Cuckoo Search (ICS) algorthm for constrained optimization problems
Constrained optimization is very important issue in engineering design. The problem of constrained optimization contains the objective function with linear and nonlinear constraint equations. In this paper the Improved Cuckoo Search (ICS) algorithm has been applied for solving problems of constrained engineering optimization, which gives better solutions tha

10. STABILIZED SEQUENTIAL QUADRATIC PROGRAMMING: A SURVEY
We review the motivation for, the current state-of-the-art in convergence results, and some open questions concerning the stabilized version of the sequential quadratic programming algorithm for constrained optimization. We also discuss the tools required for its local convergence analysis, globalization challenges, and extentions of the method to the more g

11. BUNDLE METHODS IN THE XXIst CENTURY: A BIRD'S-EYE VIEW
Bundle methods are often the algorithms of choice for nonsmooth convex optimization, especially if accuracy in the solution and reliability are a concern. We review several algorithms based on the bundle methodology that have been developed recently and that, unlike their forerunner variants, have the ability to provide exact solutions even if most of the ti

12. State estimation of chemical engineering systems tending to multiple solutions
A well-evaluated state covariance matrix avoids error propagation due to divergence issues and, thereby, it is crucial for a successful state estimator design. In this paper we investigate the performance of the state covariance matrices used in three unconstrained Extended Kalman Filter (EKF) formulations and one constrained EKF formulation (CEKF). As bench
