The operation modes of a batch stripping are believed to be the same as those of a rectifier. However, the control system of a stripper is different. In this paper, we explore three different control methods with Hysys (Hyprotech Ltd. 1997) for a batch stripper. The main difference is the control scheme for reboiler liquid level: (a) controlled by reflux flow; (b) controlled by reboiler heat duty; (c) controlled by bottom product flow. The main characteristics of operating a batch stripper with different control scheme are presented in this paper. Guidelines are provided for the startup of a batch stripper, the effects of somecontrol tuning parameters on the column performance are discussed.展开更多

This stage of post-mining, pre-utilization beneficiation uses low-cost separation technologies to remove unwanted mineral matter and moisture which hinder the value of the coal product. Coal preparation plants typically employ several parallel circuits of cleaning and dewatering operations, with each circuit designed to optimally treat a specific size range of coal. Recent innovations in coal preparation have increased the efficiency and capac- ity of individual unit operations while reinforcing the standard parallel cleaning approach. This article, which describes the historical influences and state-of-the-art design for the various coal preparation unit operations, is organized to distinguish between coarse/intermediate coal cleaning and fine/ultrafine coal cleaning. Size reduction, screening, classification, cleaning, dewatering, waste disposal unit operations are particularly highlighted, with a special focus on the LI.S. design philosophy. Notable differences between the U.S. and international operations are described as appropriate.展开更多

It plays an important role in the development of the local government and an important part of the government human resource management. Since China began to implement its government performance management, it has obtained some initial results. But it is still in the exploratory and improvement stage. Because a lot of problems arise in the actual operation process, so theoretical research and practice experience need to be further improved. Therefore, analyzing the local government perfornaance management problems and exploring strategies to improve the performance management are currently the objective requirements of the socialist market economy construction and governance reform in China and will have great significance.展开更多

Based on the World Health Organization （WHO） classification, 32 of the 58 cases were grade-Ⅱ, 20 grade-Ⅲ and 6 grade-IV （glioblastoma multiforme, GBM）. Thirty-two of the 58 patients （3 with grade IV, 11 with grade Ⅲ, and the other 18 with grade II who were over 40 years） were treated with hyperfractionated IMRT （Hyper Fr IMRT）, and the other 26 patients were treated with standard fractionated IMRT （St Fr IMRT）.RESULTS The 1-, 3- and 5-year overall survival （OS） rates were respectively 86%, 52%, and 45%, and the 1-, 3- and 5-year progression-free survival （PFS） rates were respectively 77%, 38%, and 25%. Using an analytical hierarchy process it was shown that concerning the patients with grade II astrocytoma classified based on WHO grading, the therapeutic effect was much better in the group of Hyper Fr IMRT than in the St Fr IMRT group. There was no statistical significance of the differences in the OS and PFS rates between the 2 groups （P = 0.049 and P = 0.006）. The OS and PFS rates of the patients with grade-III astrocytoma were both higher in the group with Hyper Fr IMRT than in the St Fr IMRT group. However, there was no statistical significance of the differences between the 2 groups. Advanced RTOG grade-Ⅲ（radiation therapy oncology group, RTOG） neurotoxicity occurred only in 1 of the cases.CONCLUSION Compared with the St Fr IMRT, the Hyper Fr IMRT may help to prolong the survival of patients with astrocytoma.展开更多

A good process plan can be obtained by optimizing two elements, namely, operation sequence and the machining parameters of machine, tool and tool access direction （TAD） for each operation. This paper proposes a novel optimization strategy for process planning that considers different dimensions of the problem in parallel. A multi-dimensional tabu search （MDTS） algo-rithm based on this strategy is developed to optimize the four dimensions of a process plan, namely, operation sequence （OperSeq）, machine sequence （MacSeq）, tool sequence （TooISeq） and tool approach direction sequence （TADSeq）, sequentially and iteratively. In order to improve its efficiency and stability, tabu search, which is incorporated into the proposed MDTS al- gorithm, is used to optimize each component of a process plan, and some neighbourhood strategies for different components are presented for this tabu search algorithm. The proposed MDTS algorithm is employed to test four parts with different numbers of operations taken from the literature and compared with the existing algorithms like genetic algorithm （GA）, simulated annealing （SA）, tabu search （TS） and particle swarm optimization （PSO）. Experimental results show that the developed algo-rithm outperforms these algorithms in terms of solution quality and efficiency.展开更多
