In this study, by using a multi-objective optimization technique, the optimal design points of forced convective heat transfer in tubular arrangements were predicted upon the size, pitch and geometric configurations of a ...

Recognizing genes with distinctive expression levels can help in prevention, diagnosis and treatment of the diseases at the genomic level. In this paper, fast Global k-means (fast GKM) is developed for clustering the gene ...

Due to the development of science and technology, the computer has become a useful tool for supporting engineering activities in product design. Many computer aided tools such as CAD/CAM, product data management (PDM), ...

The use of cutting fluid in manufacturing industries has now become more problematic due to environmental pollution and health related problems of employees. Also the minimization of cutting fluid leads to the saving of ...

The combustion processes and emission formation in pre and main chambers of a Lister 8.1 IDI diesel are simulated with the Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) code. The model includes spray atomization, mixture formation ...

The Hilbert-Huang transform (HHT) is a powerful method for nonlinear and non-stationary vibrations analysis. This approach consists of two basic parts of empirical mode decomposition (EMD) and Hilbert spectral analysis ...

A major problem in an isolated DC/DC converters operating at high switching frequencies is the attendant switching losses in the semiconductor devices. This can be reduced by introducing either zero-voltage switching (ZVS) ...

Abstract   This paper provides a closed-form optimal solution to the multi-objective model of the fair allocation of gains obtained by cooperation among all players. The optimality of the proposed solution is first proved. ...

This paper considers the Tchebychev distance for a facility location problem with a probabilistic line barrier in the plane. In particular, we develop a mixed-integer nonlinear programming (MINLP) model for this problem ...
