Control of output variables is very difficult because of the existence of high dead-time in these types of reactors. In the present work, sodium hydroxide and acetic acid solutions were sent to the tubular flow reactor. The aim was to control p H at 7 in the nonlinear region. The p H control of a tubular flow reactor with high time delay and a highly nonlinear behavior in p H neutralization reaction was investigated experimentally in the face of the various load and set point changes. Firstly, efficiency of conventional Proportional-Integral-Derivative(PID) algorithm in the experiments was tested. Then self-tuning PID(STPID) control system was applied by using the ARMAX model. The model parameters were calculated from input–output data by using PRBS signal as disturbance and Bierman algorithm. Lastly, the experimental fuzzy control of p H based on fuzzy model was achieved to compare the success of fuzzy approach with the performance of other control cases studied.展开更多

The settings of the controller are valued by two criteria,the error between output and reference signals and control moves. An appropriate set of Pareto optimal setting of the PID controller is founded by analyzing the results of Pareto optimal surfaces for balancing the two criteria. A high order process with inverse response and dead time is used to illustrate the results of the proposed method.

The optimization and improvement of algorithms used in super-resolution microscopy are of great importance for achieving optimal quality of super-resolution imaging. In this review, we comprehensively discuss the computational methods in different types of super-resolution microscopy, including deconvolution microscopy, polarization-based super-resolution microscopy, structured illumination microscopy, image scanning microscopy, super-resolution optical fluctuation imaging microscopy, single-molecule localization microscopy, Bayesian super-resolution microscopy, stimulated emission depletion microscopy, and translation microscopy. The development of novel computational methods would greatly benefit super-resolution microscopy and lead to better resolution, improved accuracy, and faster image processing.展开更多

The Ring effect is one of the most significant factors affecting the accuracy of retrieving concentrations of atmospheric trace gases, such as NO2 and SO2, from satellite observations through differential optical absorption spectroscopy. First in this study, the solar spectrum measured by the Ozone Monitoring Instrument onboard NASA Aura is convolved with the rotational Raman cross section of the atmosphere, which is calculated from the rotational Raman cross sections of N2 and O2 molecules, and divided by the original solar spectrum. The slowly varying term is removed by fitting it with a cubic polynomial to obtain the differential Ring spectrum. The results agree well with the calculations using a radiative transfer model (R2=0.9663). Second, the differential Ring spectrum is computed using two fixed wavelengths of 410 nm and 488 nm, and the resulting differential Ring spectra are similar to that calculated with varying wavelengths and agree well with the calculation using the radiative transfer model (R2=0.9624 and 0.9639 respectively). The computation time using the fixed wavelength is about 0.128% of that using a varying wavelength. Finally, we found that the frequency spectrum of the Raman cross sections for the atmosphere, N2 molecules and O2 molecules are similar; thus, the Raman cross section of N2 or O2 molecules can be used to compute the approximate Ring effect for simplicity.展开更多
