Chemical Technology, Control and Management

The separation of 1,3-butadiene from pyrolysis-derived C₄ fractions represents a challenging task due to the multicomponent nature of the feed and the close boiling points of accompanying hydrocarbons. In this study, a two-stage extractive distillation process was investigated using an acetonitrile–water solvent system to address these challenges. A semi-industrial experimental unit consisting of two extractive distillation columns connected in series was developed and analyzed, and the process configuration was supported by Aspen Plus simulation. The feedstock composition was characterized in detail, revealing that 1,3-butadiene constitutes approximately 40 wt.% of the C₄ fraction, accompanied by significant amounts of propylene, butanes, butanes, …

Robust-Adaptive Estimation Of Unmeasurable States And External Disturbances Of A Dynamic Object Based On An Augmented Kalman Filter, Husan Igamberdiev, Uktam Farkhodovich Mamirov, Lu Liu, Bohong Wang, Bunyod Buronov

Chemical Technology, Control and Management

The paper addresses the problem of joint estimation of the directly unmeasurable states of a dynamic object and of external disturbances when information is available only on the control inputs and on the measured output signals. To solve this problem, a robust-adaptive algorithm based on an augmented Kalman filter is proposed, in which the external disturbance is included in the extended state vector. Two operating modes of the algorithm are considered. For slowly varying disturbances, a random-walk model with a constant process-noise covariance is used, whereas for rapidly varying inputs a signal adaptation  driven by the normalized innovation is proposed. …

Analysis Of The Throttle Settings Under Uncertain Information, Latafat Gardashova, Nihad Afandi Aug 2026

Analysis Of The Throttle Settings Under Uncertain Information, Latafat Gardashova, Nihad Afandi

Chemical Technology, Control and Management

Although classical fuzzy logic controllers are capable of modelling non-linear control systems, they fail to consider the reliability of linguistic information, sensor measurements, and expert knowledge. In this paper, an intelligent controller based on the use of Z-numbers is developed for steam-turbine throttle control. Linguistic information and its confidence degree are considered simultaneously in such a controller. The temperature and pressure values are taken as input variables, while the throttle rotation is selected as the controller output variable. At first, the Z-number representation system is constructed to include the credibility of linguistic measurements and control rules. Then, a Mamdani Type-1 …

Nonlinear System Identification Based On Fuzzy Radial Basis Neural Network With Multi-Connected Weight Connections, Kabul Khudaybergenov Aug 2026

Nonlinear System Identification Based On Fuzzy Radial Basis Neural Network With Multi-Connected Weight Connections, Kabul Khudaybergenov

Chemical Technology, Control and Management

This paper builds on our earlier radial basis function network with multiple connections (RBFMC) by placing it within a fuzzy inference framework for nonlinear system identification. The idea is inspired by the diversity of neurotransmitters found in biological neurons: instead of a single hidden-to-output weight, RBFMC gives each hidden unit a multi-dimensional connection whose components act as independent filters. Once fuzzy logic is added, each hidden neuron becomes a fuzzy rule, and its antecedent is built from several Gaussian membership functions, one per connection. The resulting Fuzzy RBFMC produces an interpretable, multi-filter description of local regions of the input space …

Performance Evaluation Of Controllers Using Fuzzy Delphi And Ahp Techniques, Kamala. R. Aliyeva, Nihad Mehdiyev, Shamil Mehdi Aug 2026

Performance Evaluation Of Controllers Using Fuzzy Delphi And Ahp Techniques, Kamala. R. Aliyeva, Nihad Mehdiyev, Shamil Mehdi

Chemical Technology, Control and Management

This study introduces an enhanced decision-support framework that integrates the Fuzzy Delphi method with the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) to improve controller tuning and performance evaluation in uncertain environments. Traditional tuning techniques typically depend on crisp expert judgments and deterministic performance indices; however, industrial control systems are characterized by nonlinear behaviors, uncertain parameter variations, and subjective expert evaluations that are often vague or inconsistent. The Fuzzy Delphi procedure is applied to systematically gather, filter, and consolidate expert insights, enabling a refined set of performance criteria such as stability margins, robustness to disturbances, settling time, overshoot, control effort, and energy consumption …

Ultrasonic Technique In Treating Wastewater By Electrocoagulation, Najem Al-Rubaiey, Mohammed Al-Barazanjy

Engineering and Technology Journal

Electrocoagulation Treatment can be considered as a favorable tool for the removal of many pollutants of various forms of wastewater. These pollutants may include the removal of colloidal, the breaking-up of emulsions and heavy metals. This process consists of the disintegration of the anodes (usually iron or aluminum), exciting the creation of coagulant mixtures in wastewater. That will aid to coagulate contaminants and generate bubbles in favor of mixing and elimination of solids suspension by flotation. Recently, the arrangement of using this technique with other treatment tools has turned out to be an interesting subject leading to an improvement in …

“When I’M Not Heard, I Feel Like I Don’T Matter”: Advancing Equity In Disability Policy Through Critical Participatory Action Research With People With Intellectual Disability, Cris Marchionne

Student Theses

People with intellectual disability deserve a system that offers flexible, timely, and person-centered support — one that is innovative, sustainable, and holistic in enabling them to live fulfilling lives. This qualitative study, grounded in Critical Participatory Action Research (CPAR), examines how people with intellectual disability experience participation in decision-making within New York State's disability service system. By centering lived experience, the study identifies factors that facilitate or hinder participation in decision-making and examines structural, social, and policy-related barriers that limit agency. Through six focus groups and a Photovoice project with self-advocates receiving OPWDD services, participants described systemic barriers that limited …

The Influence Of Exercise On Cardiometabolic Risk In Perimenopause: A Systematic Review, Bibha Gautam, Deborah J. Clegg, Mary Madeline Rogge, Jeni Page Aug 2026

The Influence Of Exercise On Cardiometabolic Risk In Perimenopause: A Systematic Review, Bibha Gautam, Deborah J. Clegg, Mary Madeline Rogge, Jeni Page

International Nursing Research Congress (INRC)

Purpose: Perimenopause is a biologically vulnerable period characterized by hormonal fluctuations, visceral fat accumulation, and increasing insulin resistance, factors that elevate cardiometabolic risk and contribute to the development of cardiometabolic syndrome (CMS), defined as the presence of three or more metabolic abnormalities. These changes reflect a continuum of metabolic vulnerability that may emerge before CMS becomes clinically detectable. Although regular exercise can mitigate this risk, limited evidence clarifies which exercise modalities are most effective in reducing metabolic risk and CMS prevalence among women undergoing the perimenopausal transition. Despite facing a distinct and often underrecognized vulnerability to CMS, perimenopausal women remain …

Strengthening Vaccine Confidence Among College Freshmen In The Post-Covid-19 Era, Karlen E. Luthy, Janelle L. B. Macintosh, Alyssa Vang, Janessa Johnson

International Nursing Research Congress (INRC)

The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of a vaccine education module (VEM) on college freshmen’s intended vaccination behaviors, vaccine-related perceptions, and vaccine knowledge. Although vaccine requirements for university students are a vital public health strategy, most institutions in the United States do not mandate all recommended immunizations. In today’s environment, where vaccine misinformation and hesitancy remain common, understanding how evidence-based education influences vaccine attitudes is increasingly important. A pre-COVID-19 study showed that a VEM improved students’ vaccine beliefs and intentions; this study assessed these outcomes in a post-COVID-19 context.

A pretest/posttest quasi-experimental design was used. Participants …
