Optimally controlled heating of solid particles in a fluidised bed with a dispersive flow of the solid by Poświata Artur, Szwast Zbigniew

“…The mixing rate was described by the axial dispersion coefficient. As any economic values of variables describing analysing process are subject to local and time fluctuations, the accepted objective function describes the total cost of the process expressed in exergy units. …”

Time-varying MVAR algorithms for directed connectivity analysis: Critical comparison in simulations and benchmark EEG data. by Mattia F Pagnotta, Gijs Plomp

“…Results from numerical simulations and from benchmark EEG recordings showed that: i) across a broad range of model orders all algorithms correctly reproduced patterns of interactions; ii) signal downsampling degraded connectivity estimation accuracy for most algorithms, although in some cases downsampling was shown to reduce variability in the estimates by lowering the number of parameters in the model; iii) single-trial modeling followed by averaging showed optimal performance with larger adaptation coefficients than previously suggested, and showed slower adaptation speeds than multi-trial modeling. …”
