We consider the application of reference-dependent consumer choice theory to traffic assignment on transportation networks.Route choice is modelled based on random utility maximisation with systematic utility embodying loss aversion for the travel time and money expenditure attributes.Stochastic user equilibrium models found in the literature have

The head and flow rate of a pump characterize the pump performance, which help determine whether maintenance is needed.In the proposed method, instead of a traditional flowmeter and manometer, the operating points are identified using data collected from accelerometers and microphones.The dataset is created from a test rig consisting of a standard

Denitrification based on immobilized microbial cellulose may offer an economical replacement for conventional treatment for nitrate removal.The environmental and bacterial biomass may influence the rate of biological denitrification processes.This study aimed to investigate the factors that affect denitrification rates, including carbon sources, pH

Obesity is a disease with pandemic frequency, often accompanied by chronic metabolic and organic complications.Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is among the most common metabolic complications of obesity.The first step in the treatment of T2DM is medical nutrition therapy combined with moderate physical activity and with advice to patients to reduce

Advances in deep convolutional neural networks led to breakthroughs in many computer vision applications.In chemical engineering, a number of tools have been developed for the digitization of Process and Instrumentation Diagrams.However, there is no framework for the digitization of process flow diagrams (PFDs).PFDs are 9 CHAMPAGNE difficult to dig
