An F77 package for feed-forward artificial neural network data processing, JETNET 3.0, is presented. It represents a substantial extension and generalization of an earlier release, JETNET 2.0. The package, which consists of a set of subroutines, is focused on multilayer perceptron architectures. As compared to earlier versions it contains a variety of minimization options, measures for monitoring

A neural network method for identifying the ancestor of a hadron jet is presented. The idea is to find an efficient mapping between certain observed hadronic kinematical variables and the quark-gluon identity. This is done with a neuronic expansion in terms of a network of sigmoidal functions using a gradient descent procedure, where the errors are back-propagated through the network. With this me

The mean field theory (MFT) learning algorithm is elaborated and explored with respect to a variety of tasks. MFT is benchmarked against the back-propagation learning algorithm (BP) on two different feature recognition problems: two-dimensional mirror symmetry and multidimensional statistical pattern classification. We find that while the two algorithms are very similar with respect to generalizat

A F77 package of adaptive artificial neural network algorithms, JETNET 2.0, is presented. Its primary target is the high energy physics community, but it is general enough to be used in any pattern-recognition application area. The basic ingredients are the multilayer perceptron back-propagation algorithm and the topological self-organizing map. The package consists of a set of subroutines, which

Self-organizing neural networks are briefly reviewed and compared with supervised learning algorithms like back-propagation. The power of self-organization networks is in their capability of displaying typical features in a transparent manner. This is successfully demonstrated with two applications from hadronic jet physics; hadronization model discrimination and separation of b, c and light quark

The use of diafiltration as part of ultrafiltration processes on an industrial scale is now the state-of-the-art in the food & beverage, biotech and pharma industry for the recovery of fermentation broth. In this paper the advantages and disadvantages of the most common process modes of diafiltration - batch and continuous - will be discussed. Further, the new concept of counter-current diafil

In the food & beverage, biotech and pharma industry the use of ultrafiltration to recover fermentation broth is the state-of-the-art. These Ultrafiltration systems consist commonly of three stages: (1) pre-concentration stage, (2) diafiltration, and (3) final concentration. The process mode can be either batch or continuous. In the batch processes for all stages of the concentration the same m

Searches for dijet resonances with sub-TeV masses using the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider can be statistically limited by the bandwidth available to inclusive single-jet triggers, whose data-collection rates at low transverse momentum are much lower than the rate from standard model multijet production. This Letter describes a new search for dijet resonances where this limitation is

A spin–orbit-coupled Bose–Einstein-condensed cloud of atoms confined in an annular trapping potential shows a variety of phases that we investigate in the present study. Starting with the non- interacting problem, the homogeneous phase that is present in an untrapped system is replaced by a sinusoidal density variation in the limit of a very narrow annulus. In the case of an untrapped system there

Biorefineries are rapid growing branches in the world of sustainable chemical engineering, and one aspect that becomes more and more important is the reuse and valorization of different by-products. In sugar mills, molasses is a low value by-product mainly used for animal feed. However, a large part of the molasses contains the main product of the sugar mill: sucrose. By using membrane filtration,

Searches for dijet resonances with sub-TeV masses using the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider can be statistically limited by the bandwidth available to inclusive single-jet triggers, whose data-collection rates at low transverse momentum are much lower than the rate from standard model multijet production.

Membrane fouling is a constant challenge of membrane processes in separation and purification of organic, biomass originated compounds in food, biorefining and biotechnology industries. It persists due to the complexity and high fouling tendency of the bio-based streams and may result in a decrease of filtration capacity, rejection alteration, reduction of membrane lifetime and increase of operati

The novel method of modification of polyethersulfone (PES) ultrafiltration membranes is proposed. This method involves the use of aqueous solutions of polyacrylic acid (PAA) of different molecular weights (Mn=5.1×103 g·mol–1, Mn=490×103 g·mol–1) as a coagulant in non-solvent induced phase inversion process (NIPS). Addition of PAA (0.05–1.5 wt%) to the coagulation bath leads to marked changes in pe

Bike-sharing systems are an emerging form of sharing-mobility in manycities worldwide. The travel patterns of users that take advantage of smart devices to ride a shared-bicycle in two large cities (Chicago and Budapest) have been investigated, with analysis of approximately two million transaction data records associated with bike trips made over a three-month period in each location. Several asp
