1. INTEGRATING REAL TIME OPTIMIZATION AND MODEL PREDICTIVE CONTROL OF A CRUDE DISTILLATION UNIT
Abstract This work reports the integration of Real Time Optimization and Model Predictive Control in the multi-layer control structure of an existing Crude Distillation Unit (CDU) of an oil refinery. The MPC considers output control zones and targets for the inputs or outputs. Both the infinite horizon and the finite output horizon controllers were tested. T

2. Elemental Concentration and Sulfur Chemical Speciation in the Amazonian Plant Andira surinamensis Using Synchrotron Radiation Techniques (SR-XRF, XANES), RBS and WD-XRF
The inorganic composition of the bark and leaf of a plant from the Amazon rainforest, Andira surinamensis, was determined using two non-destructive, multi-element techniques: X-ray fluorescence (XRF) and Rutherford backscattering spectrometry (RBS). XRF measurements were made using both a conventional X-ray source and synchrotron radiation. It was observed t

3. Estructura, composición florística y almacenamiento de carbono en bosques nativos del páramo de Anaime, Tolima, Colombia
Abstract Páramos have a high environmental importance due to their high plant and animal endemism, water regulation and carbon storage. In this work, the structure and composition of the tree vegetation were characterized as well as carbon storage in aboveground biomass and the potential reduction of emissions by deforestation were estimated prioritizing th

4. Permineralized conifer-like leaves from the Jurassic of Patagonia (Argentina) and its paleoenvironmental implications
Abstract Abstract: Anatomically preserved conifer-like leaves from the Middle Jurassic La Matilde Formation at the Barda Blanca locality in the Gran Bajo de San Julián area, southern Patagonia are described here. Leaves are assigned to conifers based on the following foliar features: thick-walled epidermal cells, a sclerenchymatic hypodermis, resin canals a

5. Relevance of wood anatomy and size of Amazonian trees in the determination and allometry of sapwood area
RESUMO Processos hidrológicos de povoamentos florestais são predominantemente influenciados pela composição de espécies arbóreas e suas características morfo-fisiológicas. No entanto, existem poucos estudos sobre os padrões anatômicos que determinam o sistema hidráulico de plantas em ecossistemas tropicais. Por isso, nosso objetivo foi o de analis

6. Selection and genetic parameters for interpopulation hybrids between kouilou and robusta coffee
ABSTRACT Selection of hybrid coffee plants coming from crosses between divergent populations is particularly relevant for the success of breeding programs. This study aimed to outline the best selection strategy in a hybrid population of Coffea canephora var. kouilou and robusta by estimating intrapopulation genetic parameters. Twenty full-sib progenies obta

7. Synergy between cadmium and zinc in bean plants cultivated in multi contaminated soils
ABSTRACT. Agricultural species are subjected to a variety of biotic and abiotic stresses, which are the main limitations to crop production. In this context, contamination by trace elements is characterized as an abiotic stress that represents an environmental problem. Due to the physical and chemical similarities between cadmium and zinc, these elements may

8. Antibacterial activity of Lamiaceae plant extracts in clinical isolates of multidrug-resistant bacteria
ABSTRACT The antibacterial activity of plant extracts of the Lamiaceae family was evaluated against clinical isolates of multi-resistant Gram-negative bacteria by broth microdilution technique. Promising results were obtained considering that all extracts were active for at least two bacterial species with MIC ranging from 0.5 to 2.0 mg/mL.

9. Impacts of climate change on drought: changes to drier conditions at the beginning of the crop growing season in southern Brazil
ABSTRACT The intensification of drought incidence is one of the most important threats of the 21st century with significant effects on food security. Accordingly, there is a need to improve the understanding of the regional impacts of climate change on this hazard. This study assessed long-term trends in probability-based drought indices (Standardized Precip

10. Solubility of Heavy Metals/Metalloid on Multi-Metal Contaminated Soil Samples from a Gold Ore Processing Area: Effects of Humic Substances
ABSTRACT Bioavailability of heavy metals at contaminated sites is largely controlled by the physicochemical properties of the environmental media such as dissolved organic matter, hydroxides and clay colloids, pH, soil cation exchange capacity and oxidation-reduction potential. The aim of this study was to investigate soil pH and heavy metal solubility effec

11. TUNING OF MODEL PREDICTIVE CONTROL WITH MULTI-OBJECTIVE OPTIMIZATION
Abstract Two multi-objective optimization based tuning methods for model predictive control are proposed. Both methods consider the minimization of the error between the closed-loop response and an output reference trajectory as tuning goals. The first approach is based on the ranking of the outputs according to their importance to the plant operation and it

12. Genetic diversity reduction in improved durum wheat cultivars of Morocco as revealed by microsatellite markers
ABSTRACT It has been argued that genetic diversity in crop varieties has been on the decline in recent times due to plant breeding. This can have serious consequences for both the genetic vulnerability of crops and their plasticity when responding to changes in production environments. It is, therefore, vital for plant breeding programs to maintain sufficien
