A key feature of MFC is that future process behavior is predicted using a dynamic model and available measurements. The controller outputs are calculated so as to minimize the difference between the predicted process response and the desired response. At each sampling instant, the control calculations are repeated and the predictions updated based on current measurements. In typical industrial applications, the set point and target values for the MFC calculations are updated using on-hne optimization based on a steady-state model of the process. Constraints on the controlled and manipulated variables can be routinely included in both the MFC and optimization calculations. The extensive MFC literature includes survey articles (Garcia, Frett, and Morari, Automatica, 25, 335, 1989 Richalet, Automatica, 29, 1251, 1993) and books (Frett and Garcia, Fundamental Process Control, Butterworths, Stoneham, Massachusetts, 1988 Soeterboek, Predictive Control—A Unified Approach, Frentice Hall, Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey, 1991). 

Different spectral preprocessing and transformations available in SIMCA P-p (version 10.0, Umetrics, Sweden) were evaluated and the best approach for data handling and manipulation was determined. Data collected on the surrogate tablets were divided into a training set to generate the PLS models, and prediction set to test the PLS models. MCC powder, equilibrated at different RH, was also roller compacted at different roll speeds on a Fitzpatrick IR220 roller compactor fitted with smooth rolls. Powder feed rate and roll pressure were kept constant for all experiments. The key sample attributes measured on the surrogate tablets were also measured for the samples prepared by roller compaction. 

These findings have important implications for methane oxidation in natural samples. First, they suggest that the pMMO is the predominant enzyme system for methane oxidation in natural populations and thus provide more impetus for understanding this enzyme system. Second, the response of natural populations to changes in methane concentrations will most likely depend on a complex set of parameters, of which available copper concentration may be the key. It is now important to study how methanotrophs utilize copper and how they respond to changes in copper and methane concentrations and to copper speciation, in order to predict how natural populations will respond to environmental perturbations. 

The creep mode is used for measurement of flow at constant stress to determine the load-bearing stability of materials, a key to prediction of product performance. The creep mode is used to measure sample creep (strain) as a function of time and temperature at a selected stress. Using the isothermal step method, the sample is allowed to equilibrate at each temperature in a relaxed state. After equilibration, the sample is subjected to a constant stress, as illustrated in Figure 15.2(d). The resulting sample deformation (strain) is recorded as a function of time for a period selected by the operator. After the first set of measurements is made, the driver stress is removed and the sample is allowed to recover in an unstressed state. Sample recovery (strain) can be recorded as a function of time for any... 

One of the keys to quantitative analysis is the assumption that the concendations of the analytes in the samples are related to the measured data. Starting from a collection of known data (the composition of standards) a calibration or daining set is formed. The calibration equation will then accurately predict the quantities of the constituents of interest of unknown samples provided the same experimental conditions are used as in the calibration set. Some experimental methods provide single-point measurements for each calibration e.g. single-element...
