When there is a high correlation between the study and the  auxiliary variables, the rank of the auxiliary variable also correlates with the study variable. Then, the use of the rank as an additional auxiliary variable may be helpful to increase the efficiency of the estimator of the mean or total of the population.   In the present study, we propose two  generalized familie...

The design of vehicles transporting hazardous materials has important public safety and economic implications. Conventional wisdom among industry and government has held that a thicker tank on railroad tank cars and trucks reduces risk. However, a thicker tank increases vehicle weight and thus leads to an increase in the number of shipments required to transport the same amount of product and c...

Stereoscopy is commonly used in film and interactive media to provide depth perception, but is not the only method available to meet this need. This paper examines fish tank virtual reality as an alternative to stereoscopy. A study was conducted using three methods of depth perception projection: a stereoscopic image, a fish tank virtual reality (VR) image, and a combination of stereoscopic and...

New deterministic algorithms for routing permutations on an n n MIMD mesh are presented. They are very eecient in terms of the size of auxiliary memory at each processor, measured as the maximum number of packets that need to be queued. One algorithm runs in the optimal time 2 n ? 2 with a maximum queue length of 33. Another runs in the near-optimal time 2 n + O(1) with a maximum queue length o...

The MV/LV transformer without a tank in the underground substation can produce remarkable interference with the computer Cathode-Ray Tube (CRT) displayers above the ground, because of the generated power frequency magnetic field. To resolve such problem, a tank with high conductivity or/and high permeability is needed to enclose the transformer. To evaluate the shielding effectiveness, the fini...

in this paper, a method based on binary-coded genetic algorithm is proposed to explore an optimization method, for obtaining an optimal elliptical tank. this optimization method enhances the rollover threshold of a tank vehicle, especially under partial filling conditions. minimizing the overturning moment imposed on the vehicle due to c.g. height of the liquid load, lateral acceleration and ca...

Many researchers have investigated how to increase the overall efficiency of solar-driven thermal systems. Several key parameters, such as collector efficiency and storage tank characteristics, may impose some constraints on the annual solar fraction (ASF) of such systems. In this paper, the behaviour of integrating the phase change material (PCM) in SDHW systems is modelled and optimized n...
