Data-Driven Adaptive Observer for Fault Diagnosis
2012
Published version of an article from the journal: Mathematical Problems in Engineering. Also available from the publisher:http://dx.doi.org/10.1155/2012/832836 This paper presents an approach for data-driven design of fault diagnosis system. The proposed fault diagnosis scheme consists of an adaptive residual generator and a bank of isolation observers, whose parameters are directly identified from the process data without identification of complete process model. To deal with normal variations in the process, the parameters of residual generator are online updated by standard adaptive technique to achieve reliable fault detection performance. After a fault is successfully detected, the iso…
Fault Emulation for Dependability Evaluation of VLSI Systems
2008
Advances in semiconductor technologies are greatly increasing the likelihood of fault occurrence in deep-submicrometer manufactured VLSI systems. The dependability assessment of VLSI critical systems is a hot topic that requires further research. Field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) have been recently pro posed as a means for speeding-up the fault injection process in VLSI systems models (fault emulation) and for reducing the cost of fixing any error due to their applicability in the first steps of the development cycle. However, only a reduced set of fault models, mainly stuck-at and bit-flip, have been considered in fault emulation approaches. This paper describes the procedures to inje…
Identification of a yeast strain as a potential stuck wine fermentation restarter: a kinetic characterization
2013
Restarter yeast strains are used to consume residual sugar (mainly fructose) in stuck wine fermentations. Forty-three yeast strains were evaluated initially. Strain ITD-00068 showed the highest values for the maximum growth rate, maximum fructose consumption rate, and maximum ethanol production rate (0.143, 0.268, and 0.231 h−1, respectively). Therefore, it was selected for further molecular and kinetic analyses. RFLP analysis identified this isolate as Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Strain ITD-00068 consumed 100% and 36% of the fructose present (at 20°C and 30°C, respectively), when cultured in medium with 12% (v/v) ethanol. The fructose consumption rate was reduced by 97% at 30°C, when ethanol…
De Bibracte à Augustodunum : permanences et évolutions des activités manufacturières de l’époque gauloise à la fin du Haut-Empire
2007
L’importance de l’artisanat autunois et son développement jusqu’au iiie siècle prennent racine à Bibracte qui a su exploiter les ressources naturelles de son environnement et parfaire un savoir-faire local ayant survécu à la conquête. Les recherches sur ces activités manufacturières menées conjointement à Bibracte et à Autun nous offrent ainsi une opportunité d’étudier ces problématiques sur la durée. À Bibracte, puis à Autun, les artisans du métal sont omniprésents, mais d’autres métiers, aux témoins plus discrets, ont pu aussi êtres identifiés. Dans le cadre de cet article, nous présentons succinctement les lieux de production et un bilan des différents corps de métier. Enfin, nous évoquo…
Aquatic Macrophytes Occurrence in Mediterranean Farm Ponds: Preliminary Investigations in North-Western Sicily (Italy)
2021
Mediterranean wetlands are severely affected by habitat degradation and related loss of biodiversity. In this scenario, the wide number of artificial farm ponds can play a significant role in the biodiversity conservation of aquatic flora. In the present contribution we show the preliminary results of a study on Mediterranean farm ponds of north-western Sicily (Italy), aimed to investigating the environmental factors linked to the occurrence of submerged macrophytes (vascular plants and charophytes). We studied the aquatic flora of 30 ponds and determined the chemical and isotopic composition of their water bodies on a subset of the most representative 10 sites. Results show that (1) farm p…
