Microwave imaging of buried objects has been widely used in sensing and remote-sensing applications. It can be formulated and solved as inverse scattering problems. In this paper, we propose a hybrid numerical technique based on the parallel genetic algorithm (GA) and the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method for determining the location and dimensions of two-dimensional inhomogeneous obj...

Efficient parallelization of genetic algorithms (GAs) on state-of-the-art multi-threading or many-threading platforms is a challenge due to the difficulty of schedulation of hardware resources regarding the concurrency of threads. In this paper, for resolving the problem, a novel method is proposed, which parallelizes the GA by designing three concurrent kernels, each of which running some depe...

in this research, gelatin nanoparticles were synthesized via inverse miniemulsion method by employing a mixture of a water soluble carbodiimide (cdi) and n-hydroxysuccinimide (nhs) as a non-toxic cross-linking system. the gelatin nanoparticles were characterized for their size and size distribution, morphology and stability and were compared with those of nanoparticles cross-linked by glutarald...

Fluid flow in porous media is a dynamic process that is traditionally modeled using PDE (Partial Differential Equations). In this approach, physical properties related to fluid flow are inferred from rock sample data. However, due to the limitations posed in the sample data (sparseness and noise), this method often yields inaccurate results. Consequently, production information is normally used...

the effect of boundary conditions on the solution of the inverse problem of identifying the geometry and location of a cavity inside an elastic solid body using displacement measurements obtained from a tension test is investigated. the boundary elements method (bem) coupled with the genetic algorithm (ga) and the conjugate gradient method (cgm) are implemented in this identification problem. a...
