    Lee, Kai-TienVirginia Polytechnic Institute and State University1985

    … utility sources have experienced increased plume opacity. Cases of plume opacity exceeding in-stack opacity are due to 1) the aerosol formed by condensation of primary sulfuric acid and water vapor onto polydisperse plume particles and 2) the presence of fine particles which grow into the visual …

  12. Optimal payoff to ensure opacity in Discrete-Event Systems

    Abedi Khouzani, Zahra2019

    Opacity is a property of systems which guarantees that an outside observer cannot distinguish some behaviour of the system (secrets) from other behaviours (non-secrets). Many companies and government agencies like to make some aspects of their processes opaque to any observer while still needing to …
