Sep 29, 2026

Transactions of The Institute of Measurement and Control presents editorial leadership, advisory boards, publication and subscription details, and an indexed issue contents list for 1993, including article topics and page ranges. The included paper focuses on modelling continuous bioreactors via neural networks, describing a detailed modelling procedure and addressing neural network topology, training dataset, and key design parameters. Simulations evaluate feasibility, modelling capability, and noise rejection, indicating that a back-propagation neural network is a promising tool for bioreactor modelling.

FAQs

What is the main goal of the paper on continuous bioreactors?

The paper aims to model continuous bioreactors using neural networks and to provide a detailed modelling procedure, including topology and key design parameters.

What elements does the neural network modelling procedure cover?

It covers neural network topology, the training data set, and key design parameters, followed by simulations to assess feasibility.

What do the simulation results indicate?

The results are described as satisfactory regarding modelling ability and noise rejection, and they suggest that the back-propagation neural network is promising for bioreactor modelling.
