Joint radio resource management in heterogeneous wireless networks by Suleiman, Kamil Hussien

“…Designing a good joint radio resource management (JRRM) scheme for a heterogeneous wireless network is part of the integration challenges. The design goal of a JRRM is optimising the trade-off between resource utilisation, quality of service provisioning, fairness, and simplicity of design, amongst others. …”

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. …”

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. …”
