Improved Nonlinear PCA for Process Monitoring Using Support Vector Data Description

TL;DR: This paper proposes the use of a support vector data description and shows that transforming the nonlinear principal components into a feature space allows a simple statistical inference and the topology problem for the non linear PCA based on neural networks can be solved.
Journal ArticleDOI

Sintering of biphasic calcium phosphates

TL;DR: X-ray diffraction was used to establish the phases present after sintering and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) determined the microstructure and results show that the surface morphology of the discs was not greatly affected by choice of sintered program.
Journal ArticleDOI

A new model based approach for the prediction and optimisation of thermal homogeneity in single screw extrusion

TL;DR: In this paper, the die melt temperature profile was monitored by a thermocouple mesh and the data obtained was used to generate a model to predict the die melting temperature profile, which was then used to select optimum process settings to achieve the desired average melt temperature across the die while improving the temperature homogeneity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Electrospun Fibres of Chitosan/PVP for the Effective Chemotherapeutic Drug Delivery of 5-Fluorouracil

TL;DR: In this article, an electrospun nanofibrous mat consisting of chitosan (CS) and polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) was constructed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Quantitative characterization of clay dispersion in polypropylene-clay nanocomposites by combined transmission electron microscopy and optical microscopy

TL;DR: In this article, two parameters, degree of dispersion (χ) and mean interparticle distance per unit volume of clay (λV), are proposed to describe the level of clay dispersion.
