System performance for networks composed of interconnected subsystems can be increased if the traditionally separated subsystems are jointly optimized. Recently, parallel and distributed optimization methods have emerged as a powerful tool for solving estimation and control problems in large-scale networked systems. In this paper we review and analyze the optimization-theoretic concepts of parallel and distributed methods for solving coupled optimization problems and demonstrate how several estimation and control problems related to complex networked systems can be formulated in these settings. The paper presents a systematic framework for exploiting the potential of the decomposition structures as a way to obtain different parallel algorithms, each with a different tradeoff among convergence speed, message passing amount and distributed computation architecture. Several specific applications from estimation and process control are included to demonstrate the power of the approach....

For more than 30 years ABB’s application engineers have faced and tamed every possible control problem in just about every conceivable process control application. Over the decades we have provided thousands of advanced process control and optimization solutions, many of which are based on our powerful Advanced Process Control (APC) suite of control and optimization products. ABB brings a wealth of expertise and customer commitment to every control project. We have the world’s largest installed base of process automation systems, and we are consistently ranked the world leader in distributed control systems, both for the DCS market as a whole and in industry verticals like oil, gas, refining, petrochemical and chemical, pulp and paper, and minerals. To protect our customers’ investments in this installed base, ABB invests more than $1 billion a year in R&D, much of which is channeled into process automation, control and optimization....to operate and communicate with any ABB or third-party distributed control system.

The trend of development Estonian oil industry, related to European Union strict technological requirements, needs developing methods of pipeline optimization on the basis on strength condition analysis. This paper presents an overview and comparative analysis of 4 strength calculation programs (START, RAMPA, LV pipe II, CAESAR II). The following factors were used for analysis: computational algorithms and basic standards, technical specs, application areas, graphics function, error checker and reports. There are mentioned the risks of the usage of manual strength calculation....RAMPA, START, LV pipe II and CAESAR II. START Figure.1.

Interlanguage adalah seri bahan ajar Bahasa Inggris untuk siswa SMA. Bahan ajar ini didesain untuk membuat pembelajar secara bertahap mencapai kompetensi berbahasa yang lebih tinggi. Materi-materi dan kegiatan-kegiatan yang ada dalam buku ini disampaikan melalui beberapa tahapan, yaitu pembuka, pajanan terhadap bahasa target, penjelasan mengenai unsur-unsur kebahasaan, latihan berkomunikasi dalam bahasa target, evaluasi, dan refleksi. Materi yang dikembangkan dalam bahan ajar ini diorganisasikan ke dalam dua (2) siklus pembelajaran, yaitu siklus lisan dan siklus tulis yang disampaikan secara terintegrasi. Masing-masing siklus mengembangkan ketrampilan berbahasa yang berbeda, yaitu menyimak dan berbicara (siklus lisan) dan membaca dan menulis (siklus tulis). Kegiatan dalam siklus lisan membantu siswa dalam memahami berbagai ungkapan dalam konteks kehidupan sehari-hari, seperti bagaimana menyampaikan pendapat, meminta pendapat, menyatakan perasaan malu, menyatakan perasaan marah, merespon makna yang diungkapkan oleh Master of Ceremony, Show Presenter (Host), News Reader dan lain-lain. ...cipta buku teks pelajaran ini dari penulis/penerbit untuk disebarluaskan kepada masyarakat melalui situs internet (website) Jaringan Pendidikan Nasional.

Buku pelajaran TOEFL yang paling luas pemakaiannya di Indonesia adalah dari Barron: How to Prepare for TOEFL. Seorang rekan dari lulusan sebuah sekolah di Bandung yang bekerja di Bappenas mampu mencapai nilai 620 dengan memakai buku ini. Bagaimana cara dia belajar? Ia menghafal mati pola-pola strucure yang terdapat pada buku ini! Buku itu sebetulnya disusun untuk orang yang sudah rada canggih Bahasa Inggris nya. Untuk jelasnya, silahkan Anda baca sendiri kata pengantarnya. Buku Barron mengajar para pembacanya dengan memberikan puluhan pola-pola structure yang harus diketahui para pembaca. Dilanjutkan dengan contoh kalimat yang benar serta contoh kalimat yang salah tanpa penjelasan yang mendalam. Seandainya Anda sudah mempunyai dasar bahasa Inggris yang cukup bagus, buku dari Barron (dan juga beberapa buku TOEFL lainnya yang menggunakan pola pengajaran yang sama) cukup baik Anda pelajari karena pola-pola ini akan mengingatkan kembali pada hal-hal "remeh" yang Anda lupakan. ...

Universitas Muhammadiyah Malang. Arsip Berita pmb.umm.ac.id. "Kemendikbud harus awasi ketat buku pelajaran sekolah". Tanggal: ...Kemendikbud lagi-lagi kecolongan, sebab sebelumnya juga muncul cerita tentang poligami di buku pelajaran siswa SD di Jakarta. Cerita poligami "Bang Maman Dari Kali Pasir" tersebut, sempat menghebohkan beberapa waktu lalu. Menurut Ihsan, kasus tersebut harus menjadi pelajaran bagi Kemendikbud untuk membuat kebijakan dan lembaga pengawas materi pelajaran sekolah, sehingga semua materi harus melalui rekomendasi lembaga pengawas sebelum masuk ke sekolah. "Kita menyadari bahwa banyak kebijakan yang dijadikan rujukan dalam penyediaan buku dan bahan bacaan siswa. Untuk menyelamatkan siswa dari pengaruh negatif dan misi tersembunyi yang sengaja masuk ke sekolah-sekolah, maka Mendikbud harus segera berbenah dan melakukan pengawasan ketat," tambah dia. Jika tidak ada respon dan langkah kongkrit menyikapi lemahnya sistem pengawasan materi pelajaran di sekolah, Presiden harus menegur dan meminta pertanggungjawaban dari Menteri Pendidikan dan Kebudayaan.

The modeling of diesel engine cylinder head gasket joints is complicated by the nonlinear response of the head gasket’s materials. Linearization of these material responses can lead to significant errors in the solution’s results. The 1-dimensional nonlinear approximation made by the Gasket material option of the SOLID185 element sufficiently captures the response of the nonlinear gasket materials while maintaining practical solution times for the large model sizes associated with multi-cylinder head gasket joint models. This paper will give an overview of the model building and assembly process used to create a head gasket joint model, describe the nonlinear nature of the materials used in the model, and present comparisons of the model’s results with experimental measurements...

ince the days of sealing engines with asbestos, cork, rope and paper are, for the most part, ancient history, new-age materials and designs have elevated the critical role gaskets and seals play in the longevity of an engine. Finding the optimum sealing material and design remain a challenge many gasket manufacturers face as engines are asked to do more. Gaskets that combine high performance polymers with metal or fiber substrates are being used in more and more engine applications. Furthermore, engines that are sealed using these higher quality gaskets are lasting longer, performing better and with less maintenance or chance of the dreaded warranty comeback claim....
