Selective Adsorption Of Dibenzothiophenes On Activated Carbons With Metal Species Deposited On Their Surfaces, Jakub Lison
Selective Adsorption Of Dibenzothiophenes On Activated Carbons With Metal Species Deposited On Their Surfaces, Jakub Lison
Dissertations and Theses
"The objective of this thesis is an investigation of influence of porosity, surface chemistry, material composition and effects of metals oncarbon adsorbents in desulfurization of liquid fuels. Materials are derived from poly (4-styrenesulfonic acid-co-maleic acid) salts (sodium or transition metals). They are investigated in a dynamic breakthrough process using model diesel fuel containing dibenzothiophene (DBT) and 4, 6-dimethyldibenzothiophene (DMDBT). The performance of adsorbents is evaluated in terms of the capacity and selectivity. Differences in performance are investigated considering the porosity, surface chemistry and the type of material used."

Acceleration Of Monte Carlo Value At Risk Estimation Using Graphics Processing Unit (Gpu), Wei Wu
Dissertations and Theses
"Value at Risk (VaR) is one of the most popular tools used to estimate the exposure to market risks, and it measures the worst expected loss at a given confidence level. Monte Carlo simulation is one of the best methods to calculate VaR and it is widely used in financial industry. Unfortunately, it is time consuming especially when the simulated samples and the number of assets in a portfolio are very large. The graphics processing unit (GPU) is a specialized multiprocessor which has highly parallel structure supporting more effective than general-purpose CPUs for a range of complex algorithms. In this …
