13. Reusable Heterogeneous SnO2/ZnO Catalyst for Biodiesel Production from Acidified/Acid Oils
A catalyst comprised of SnO2 impregnated on ZnO nanowires, which presented remarkable ability to catalyze fatty acid esterification/transesterification reactions, is reported. For optimization of reaction conditions, artificially acidified soybean oil with 10 wt.% oleic acid was used as a model feed. The optimized conditions were: 150 °C, 6 h, 5 g of oil, c

14. Optimization of a headspace solid-phase microextraction method for the gas chromatography-mass spectrometry analysis aroma compounds of Litsea mollis Hemsl. immature fruit
Abstract This study optimized using a headspace solid-phase microextraction (HS-SPME) method for extracting volatile aroma compounds, terpenoids in particular, from Litsea mollis Hemsl. immature fruit (LMIF). Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry was used to separate and identify volatile terpenoids in LMIF. The types of SPME fiber coating, salt addition, and

15. Green Extraction Optimization of Bioactive Compounds from Rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis L.) Using Response Surface Methodology
Rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis L.) is known for its bioactive compounds with high antioxidant potential and pharmacological properties, such as antibacterial, antidepressant and anti-inflammatory. These properties are attributed to the presence of (poly)phenolic compounds. In the literature there is no extraction of these compounds with a totally non-toxic

16. Study using a CFD approach of the efficiency of a roof ventilation closure system in a multi-tunnel greenhouse for nighttime microclimate optimization
ABSTRACT The thermal efficiency of naturally ventilated greenhouses is limited due to the permanent exchange of air through the vents, especially during the night hours. The objective of the work consisted in evaluating a system of inflatable air ducts that close the roof vents during the night as a strategy to reduce the energy loss during these hours. For

17. Optimization of sunflower oil bleaching parameters: using Response Surface Methodology (RSM)
Abstract Bleaching is an important part of the oil refining process, in which pigments, impurities, traces of metals, and oxidative-molecular components of oils are removed. In this regard, the optimization of bleaching conditions can be effective to increase oil quality. In this study, de-gummed and neutralized sunflower oil was bleached at 80, 90, 100, 110

18. Simultaneous Transfer of Na+, K+, and Fe2+ Ions During Salting of Precooked Mushroom (Agaricus bisporus): Mathematical Modeling, Optimization, and Experimental Validation
The champignon mushroom has no antinutritional factors that can affect iron bioavailability. It is considered a functional food and can provide health benefits by presenting bioactive components. The simultaneous transfer of Na+, K+ and Fe2+ in the pre-cooked mushroom (Agaricus bisporus) was modeled and simulated by the finite element method (FEM). The Biot

19. Mathematical Modeling of the Transesterification Reaction by Finite Elements: Optimization of Kinetic Parameters Using the Simplex Sequential Method
The use of biodiesel as fuel has been presented as a viable alternative in the search for renewable energies. It can be produced from the transesterification reaction of vegetable oils with methanol in the presence of sodium or potassium hydroxide as catalysts. In the present research, the transesterification reaction of soybean oil was modeled considering t

20. Structural reliability model considering mixed probabilistic and interval variables
Abstract Traditional probability-based structural reliability analysis method can only consider random uncertainties described by random distribution functions, which required sufficient experimental samples. On comparison, interval uncertainties can be more appropriate when lacking information. In realistic situations, several structural reliability models

21. Development and optimization of erythromycin-loaded lipid-based gel by Taguchi design: In vitro characterization and antimicrobial evaluation
The foremost aim of the current research was to prolong and sustain the release of erythromycin (ERY) by preparing a solid lipid nanoparticles (SLNs)-based gel formulation for the safe and effective treatment of acne. ERY-loaded SLNs were developed, and various process variables were optimized with respect to particle size, zeta potential, and entrapment eff

22. A METHODOLOGY TO OBTAIN ANALYTICAL MODELS THAT REDUCE THE COMPUTATIONAL COMPLEXITY FACED IN REAL TIME IMPLEMENTATION OF NMPC CONTROLLERS
Abstract Model Predictive Control, MPC and NMPC, and real-time optimization, RTO and D-RTO, are known to help plant operability through the mitigation of impacts caused by external disturbances. However, the usage of these tools in industry requires overcoming some challenges, for instance: accurate models of the process, particularly in regard to nonlineari

23. 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
