Broadly, Monte Carlo methods are based on artificial realization of the system behavior. Our primary concern will be the simulation of systems in which the particle state changes deterministically. Thus, the systems encountered in Section 2.10 with random changes in particle state will be excluded for the present from our discussion in favor of a sketchy treatment of this case at a later stage. 

Second, Section 7.2 provides the derivation of equations in the master density for some of the particulate processes discussed in Chapter 3 and shows the combinatorial complexity of their solution. The objective of this section is to show how Monte Carlo simulations of a process eliminate the quantitatively less significant combinatorial elements of the solution by artificial realization. Thus, the discussion here is of largely conceptual value. 

Artificial realization of the system behavior (35). This method is commonly applied to complex particulate processes, which are described in some detail here. In the artificial realization, the direct evaluation of integral and differential functions is replaced by the simulation of the stochastic behavior modeled by using a randomness generator to vary the behavior of the system (20). The important probabilistic functions in the original model equations, such as coalescence kernels for granulation processes, are still essential in Monte Carlo simulations and are shown later. 

Monte Carlo methods for the artificial realization of the system behavior can be divided into time-driven and event-driven Monte Carlo simulations. In the former approach, the time interval At is chosen, and the realization of events within this time interval is determined stochastically. Whereas in the latter, the time interval between two events is determined based on the rates of processes. In general, the coalescence rates in granulation processes can be extracted from the coalescence kernel models. The event-driven Monte Carlo can be further divided into constant volume methods... 

Cartilage and bone tissue engineering is especially suitable to be implemented and developed by means of polymer nanofibers used as scaffold material. Indeed, remodeling phenomena in adult bone tissues are driven by the early formation of fibrous collagen structures entrapping and spatially organizing cells, and by the precipitation of calcium salt in these assemblies. These processes are well suited to be effectively mimicked by bio-artificial constructs made by cells colonizing artificially realized nanofiber materials. 

Computer-aided process synthesis systems do not mean completely automated design systems (57). Process synthesis should be carried out by interactive systems, in which the engineer s role is to carry out synthesis and the machine s role is to analy2e the performance of synthesized systems. Computet apphcations in the future will probably deal with the knowledge-based system in appHed artificial intelligence. Consequendy, research on computer-aided process synthesis should be directed toward the realization of such systems with the collaboration of experienced process engineers. 

Naslund (2000) investigated a district cooling system in Sundsvall, mid Sweden, with sea water and stored snow. The cooling load was 7,900 kW and 7,450-8,560 MWh. Natural snow from streets and squares were complemented with artificial snow made by snow guns or water spraying. The estimated snow proportion was 43.6-66.8% and 122,500m3 of snow was needed. Two layers ofO.Ol mplastic sheets with thermal conductivity 0.04 W m-1 K-1 was recommended as insulation. The plant has not yet been realized (2005). 

Another form of artificial intelligence is realized in artificial neural networks (ANN). The principle of ANNs has been presented in Sect. 6.5. Apart from calibration, data analysis and interpretation is one of the most important fields of application of ANNs in analytical chemistry (Tusar et al. [1991] Zupan and Gasteiger [1993]) where two branches claim particular interest ... 

Such a conversion of one element into another is called trans-, mutation. Today scientists realize that one element cannot be changed, or transmuted, into another element in the sense meant by the alchemists, that is, by means of a chemical reaction. In modem times scientists have learned how to change other ele- j ments into gold, but not by chemical reaction. The artificial gold prepared in this manner is more expensive than natural gold, and so the method is not useful commercially. 

Fig. 14.6). A key is that in many cases solution processing can lead to new structures that are difficult or impossible to attain by other means. This can include, for example, nanofiber arrays, core-shell structures, nanopods, and nanoribbons.30 32 These structures can lead to a variety of new functionalities—from 3D prototyping, to third-generation PV structures, to electronic paper, to a new class of non linear optics, to the ability to order nanostructures at very small length scales and maybe even to the holy grail of the energy field, artificial photosynthesis. Below we briefly discuss how some of these concepts are beginning to be realized.

This can be realized with modem sensors such as infrared thermopiles, thermopile arrays, microspectrometers and color sensors, several types of humidity sensors, artificial noses and multi-gas sensors. 

An electrophoretic method was developed for the simultaneous determination of artificial sweeteners, preservatives and colours in soft drinks. The samples were degassed by sonication, filtered and used for analysis without any other pretreatment. Measurements were realized in uncoated fused-silica capillaries, the internal diameter being 50 ptm. Capillary lengths were 48.5 cm (40 cm to the detector) and 65.4 cm (56 cm to the detector). Capillaries were conditioned by washing them with (1 M sodium hydroxide (10 min), followed by 0.1 M sodium hydroxide (5 min) and water (5 min). Samples were injected hydrodinamically (250 mbar) at the anodic end. Analyses were performed at a voltage of 20 kV and the capillary temperature was 25°C. Analytes having ionizable substructure... 

Although the structure of the paper is simple, my goal is more complex. It is simply stated, but harder to realize I want to demystify the technology of applied artificial intelligence and expert systems. 

In the early 1700s, Henri-Louis Duhamel du Monceau (1700—1782) was the first to realize that many minerals exhibited similar alkaline (basic) characteristics. He studied samples of salts both derived artificially and found in nature, including saltpeter (potassium nitrate used in gunpowder), table salt, Glauber s salt, sea salt, and borax. 

The evaluation of the commercially and artificially deactivated samples was realized in the SR-SCT-MAT unit. The activity of the lab-deactivated samples with both protocols is in good correlation to the Bronsted acidity as presented in Figure 9.4. In detail, it is obvious that increment of the Bronsted acidity is reflected in higher activity of the catalytic sample, as the Cat/Oil ratio is decreasing for standard conversion level.
