Enhanced bioethanol fermentation from mixed xylose and glucose using free and immobilized cultures: mathematical model and experimental observation by Ghods, Nosaibeh Nosrati

“…The obtained results showed better agreement between industrial data and kinetic model (1% differences) than a stoichiometric model (9% differences). The simulation showed that ACM integrated into Aspen Plus allowed for complex biological processes to be accurately predicted for biomass growth, ethanol production and sugar consumption. …”

Interference Management of Inband Underlay Device-toDevice Communication in 5G Cellular Networks by Boamah, Sharon Ampomaa

“…D2D communication underlaying a cellular network provides efficient utilisation of the scarce spectral resources, however, there is an introduction of interference emanating from the reuse of cellular channels by D2D pairs. …”

A prototype dynamic model for the co-treatment of a high strength simple-organic industrial effluent and coal-mine drainage by Harding, Theodor

“…Two bench-scale 5-litre CSTR-BSR and a 20-litre BSR-GL system were operated, under varying feed COD concentrations and hydraulic retention times (HRTs), to generate datasets for use in verification and a rudimentary validation of the prototype model. The BSR-GL integrated system includes 1) a 1-litre H2S gas reactive absorption (ABS) unit utilising an aqueous ferric solution for the recovery of elemental sulfur (S0 ) from sulfide and 2) ferrous biological oxidation reactor to regenerate ferric from the ferrous for re-supply to the ABS unit. …”

Ethical Constraint-Based MPC with Adaptive Weight Scheduling for Autonomous Vehicles in Diverse Scenarios by Aafia`, Hend Mohammed

“…The proposed E-MPC is implemented using a nonlinear receding-horizon MPC formulation and integrated with ROS 2. The framework is evaluated in the CARLA simulation environment across a comprehensive set of scenarios, including nominal driving on curved roads, ethically motivated lane-change maneuvers, and unavoidable accident situations with constrained perception and limited stopping distance. …”
