Information-Distilling Quantizers [PDF]
IEEE Transactions on Information Theory, 2017 Let $X$ and $Y$ be dependent random variables. This paper considers the problem of designing a scalar quantizer for $Y$ to maximize the mutual information between the quantizer's output and $X$, and develops fundamental properties and bounds for this form of quantization, which is connected to the log-loss distortion criterion.

Ethical Foreground and Background in Adult Educator Work
New Directions for Adult and Continuing Education, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Adult educators work in a complex ethical environment. The very act of contributing to the learning of another is fraught with moral overtones. In this paper we consider the ethical dimensions of adult educator practice by distinguishing the ethical features of the context or ‘background’ of practice from the ethical capabilities and decision ...

Generalised model for heteroazeotropic batch distillation with variable decanter hold-up [PDF]
, 2013 A general model of batch heteroazeotropic distillation is proposed. Both liquid phases present in the decanter can be refluxed or withdrawn as distillate, their hold-up can be increased, decreased or kept constant, as well. By assuming maximal separation,

APPLICATION OF MODEL PREDICTIVE CONTROL (MPC) TUNING STRATEGY IN MULTIVARIABLE CONTROL OF DISTILLATION COLUMN [PDF]
, 2007 A model predictive control strategy is proposed for multivariable nonlinear control problem in a distillation column. The aim is to provide a solution to nonlinear control problem that is favorable in terms of industrial implementation.

Advanced Engineering Materials, Volume 27, Issue 6, March 2025.ErB4 and NdB4 nanostructured powders are produced by mechanochemical synthesis. 5 h mechanical alloying and 4 M HCl acid leaching are used in the production. ErB4 and NdB4 powders exhibit maximum magnetization of 0.4726 emu g−1 accompanied with an antiferromagnetic‐to‐paramagnetic phase transition at about TN = 18 K and 0.132 emu g−1 with a maximum at ...

Vapour reactive distillation process for hydrogen production by hi decomposition from hi-i2-h2o solutions [PDF]
, 2008 In this contribution, a sequential and hierarchical approach for the feasibility analysis and the preliminary design of reactive distillation columns is extended to systems involving vapour phase chemical reaction and is successfully applied to the HI ...

, 2015 Policies for complex visual tasks have been successfully learned with deep reinforcement learning, using an approach called deep Q-networks (DQN), but relatively large (task-specific) networks and extensive training are needed to achieve good performance. In this work, we present a novel method called policy distillation that can be used to extract the

Impact of MgO Additions on the Oxidation Resistance and Compression Behavior of Vanadium Alloys
Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.An increase in oxidation resistance at 600 °C is achieved for alloys containing more than 2.5 wt.% MgO. It has been established that, along with V2O5, MgO6V2, and Mg2O7V2 are formed, which are presumed to enhance oxidative stability. Furthermore, the possible transformation of Mg‐vanadates through reaction with CO2, which presumably occurs in this ...

Rapidly Solidified High‐Strength Invar 36 Prepared by Planar‐Flow Melt Spinning
Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.The Invar 36 alloy was rapidly solidified using the planar‐flow melt‐spinning technique. Ribbon samples with thicknesses ranging from 20 to 160 mm were produced. As the grain size of the ribbon decreased to sub‐micron levels, the hardness increased by more than 2 times.
