In this paper, a simple algorithm based on a two-diode circuit model of the solar cell is proposed for calculating different parameters of PV panels. The input parameters required for this algorithm are available from datasheets of the standard PV modules. The values of series and parallel resistances, as well as the recombination factor of Diode 2, are estimated through an iterative solution p...

This paper presents an original solution for flexible hand-written text division into rows. Unlike the standard procedure, the proposed method avoids the isolated characters extensions amputation and reduces the recognition error rate in the final stage.

although bearing capacity of footings on top of slopes under monotonic loadings have been investigated widely so far, safety and bearing capacity of these structures against repeated dynamic loads have not been considered well enough. in this paper, lower bound dynamic shakedown theorem in its numerical form has been employed to firstly obtain bearing capacity of strip footings on top of slopes...

In this paper, we formulate and investigate the following problem: given integers d, k and r where k > r ≥ 1, d ≥ 2, and a prime power q, arrange d hyperplanes on Fq to maximize the number of r-dimensional subspaces of Fq each of which belongs to at least one of the hyperplanes. The problem is motivated by the need to give tighter bounds for an error-tolerant pooling design based on finite vect...

The aim of seismic inversion is mapping all of the subsurface structures from seismic data. Due to the band-limited nature of the seismic data, it is difficult to find a unique solution for seismic inversion. Deterministic methods of seismic inversion are based on try and error techniques and provide a smooth map of elastic properties, while stochastic methods produce high-resolution maps of el...

Two types of errors can occur when discriminating pairs quantum states. Asymmetric state discrimination involves minimizing the probability one type error, subject to a constraint on other. We give explicit expressions bounding set achievable errors, using trace norm, fidelity, and Chernoff bound. The upper bound is asymptotically tight lower exact for pure Unlike asymptotic bounds, our bounds ...
