The method disclaims the application of difficult rigorous mathematical optimization techniques by a number of different smart workarounds. The basis for the optimization is the application of different heuristics, shortcut methods and simulation studies. The method was applied to a real process in which the overall yield was improved of about 58%.

With a very simple concept, the technique is easy to implement. Searching for a competitive edge the industry has been long developing solutions to achieve better results. On the last decades, significant development has been done with the advent of new equipments, electronics, portable computers and software. Continuous scanning and wireless detection systems are examples of successful field solutions, while new software aid on reporting and data presentation. However the type and quality of the results itself has not dramatically changed since its beginning. A scan profile is simple to understand, although the process to build it can be very complex as it requires a specific blend of knowledge and abilities. Process engineering, chemical engineering, internal hydraulic project, nuclear engineering and field abilities are pre requisites for of any scan specialist. Correct data gathering, interpretation and reporting are abilities often difficult to match or requires a long time of training. The industry faces a similar difficult on the customer side, as it is always necessary to train end users to understand a report and how to use its best. This paper describes our effort on developing a new approach on the gamma scan test using image reconstruction techniques that would result on a graphic image rather than a XY plot. Direct and easier to understand, a report with graphic images would be also be accessible to a wider audience, not limited to the customers experienced with gamma scan interpretation.展开更多

China's construction of water conservancy projects continues to increase, which ushered in an opportunity for water conservancy construction. As the construction of water conservancy projects has certain complexity and systematic characteristics, the process is complicated, and the construction involves various aspects, which also means that failure problems will inevitably occur during the operation of water conservancy projects, especially the failure of automation systems is the most common, which will have a serious impact on the operation efficiency, ability and level of water conservancy projects. Therefore, corresponding troubleshooting measures must be taken, and regular and regular inspection and investigation should be carried out. Through the established algorithm and so on, the hydraulic engineering automation control system fault is eliminated, the initial fault signal of the automation control system is mined, the fault type of the automation system is effectively identified, and based on the mastery of the fault cause, a targeted fault elimination instruction is adopted. Based on this, the analysis is carried out around the automation system of water conservancy projects, and the troubleshooting strategies of the system are explored to maintain the safe operation of the whole water conservancy project, improve the application effect of the automation control system, promote the continuity of the operation of the automation control system, provide references and suggestions for the troubleshooting of the automation control of water conservancy projects, and optimize the troubleshooting methods so as to effectively eliminate the faults.展开更多

The d...We theoretically investigate the Autler-Townes （AT） splitting in the photoelectron spectra of three-level ladder K2 molecule driven by a pump-probe pulse via employing the time- dependent wave packet approach. The dependence of AT splitting on two laser intensities and wavelengths are studied in detail. We firstly quantify these effects on peak shift and AT separation. The photoelectron spectra show double splitting with symmetric profiles, but with asymmetric profiles when the wavelength is changed. The magnitude of AT splitting increases with the pump laser intensity, but does not vary with probe intensity. The shifts of the absorption peaks and the splitting between AT doublet are predicted by using an analyt- ical fitting function when the intensity/wavelength of one of the two fields is changed. These novel results are of importance for the molecular spectroscopy and may further stimulate the first principles theoretical studies analytically.展开更多
