In transportation planning and development, transport network design problem seeks to optimize specific objectives (e.g. total travel time) through choosing among a given set of projects while keeping consumption of resources (e.g. budget) within their limits. Due to the numerous cases of choosing projects, solving such a problem is very difficult and time-consuming. Based on particle swarm opt...

This paper develops and validates an efficient analytical model for evaluating the performance of shared memory architectures with ILP processors. First, we instrument the SimOS simulator to measure the parameters for such a model and we find a surprisingly high degree of processor memory request heterogeneity in the workloads. Examining the model parameters provides insight into application be...

In this paper we consider a parameter estimation problem for delay differential equations that are typical in the bioscience. The problem is motivated by a model of the dynamics of the intracellular development cycle of Chlamydia Trachomatis and can be formulated as a inverse problem for a system of delay equations. We derive the continuous sensitivity equations and show that the corresponding ...

the problem of steady magnetohydrodynamic boundary layer flow of an electrically conducting nanofluid due to an exponentially permeable stretching sheet with heat source/sink in presence of thermal radiation is numerically investigated. the effect of transverse brownian motion and thermophoresis on heat transfer and nano particle volume fraction considered. the governing partial differential eq...

Modern multi-core systems have a large number of design parameters, most of which are discrete-valued, and this number is likely to keep increasing as chip complexity rises. Further, the accurate evaluation of a potential design choice is computationally expensive because it requires detailed cycleaccurate system simulation. If the discrete parameter space can be embedded into a larger continuo...

Abstract The terms “problem and solution” are omnipresent the world over in various design disciplines designers often position themselves as problem solvers. Through a rigorous exploration of different perspectives on problem-solution model its impact, this article revisits how define, perceive, consequently practice design. It closely explores frequently propagated terminology perceptions can...

‎in this paper‎, ‎we study a class of boundary value problem‎ ‎involving the p-laplacian oprator and singular nonlinearities‎. ‎we‎ ‎analyze the existence a critical parameter $lambda^{ast}$ such‎ ‎that the problem has least one solution for‎ ‎$lambdain(0,lambda^{ast})$ and no solution for‎ ‎$lambda>lambda^{ast}.$ we find lower bounds of critical‎ ‎parameter $lambda^{ast}$‎. ‎we use the method ...
