In this paper, we derive simple sign-based point-optimal test in linearand nonlinear regression models. The test is exact, distribution free, robustagainst heteroskedasticity of unknown form, and it may be inverted to obtaincon…dence regions for the vector of unknown parameters.Because our optimal test depends on the alternative hypothesis, we pro-pose an adaptive approa...

This paper addresses a novel seven transistor (7T) CMOS SRAM cell design to enhance the stability, reduce dynamic power, leakage power and area in various applications. The designed cell has an inbuilt mechanism for charge sharing, by which power has been saved for write operation. The proposed 7T SRAM cell uses charging/ discharging single Bit Line (BL) mechanism, which results in reduction in...

Abstract: In modern wind farms, maximum power point tracking (MPPT) is widely implemented. Using the MPPT method, each individual wind turbine is controlled by its pitch angle and tip speed ratio to generate the maximum active power. In a wind farm, the upstream wind turbine may cause power loss to its downstream wind turbines due to the wake effect. According to the wake model, downstream powe...

In wind energy industry, power curve, the plot of the generated power versus the ambient wind speed, is an important indicator of the performance and health of wind turbines. The nominal power curves differ by manufacturers and types. The actual power curve will deviate from the nominal one because of the turbulence in the incoming wind, turbine health, etc. Power curve is widely used for visua...

In this paper, the homotopy analysis method (HAM) is considered to obtain the solution of the Schrodinger equation with a power law nonlinearity. For this purpose, a theorem is proved to show the convergence of the series solution obtained from the proposed method. Also, an example is solved to illustrate the eciency of the mentioned algorithm and the h-curve is plotted to determine the region ...

This paper reviews a computer-aided analytical technique for predicting the power transfer capability of an AC inverter energizing a separable inductive coupling. The capability curve is obtained using a switching model of the output rectifier and a readily available software package such as MATLABB. The capability curve is useful, among other applications, for evaluating candidate separable tr...

We use pulsed-laser heating of hydrogen at static pressures in the megabar pressure region to search for the plasma phase transition to liquid atomic metallic hydrogen. We heat our samples substantially above the melting line and observe a plateau in a temperature vs. laser power curve that otherwise increases with power. This anomaly in the heating curve appears correlated with theoretical pre...

We highlight a new algorithm for evaluating the surface intersection curve using a matrix formulation. The projection of the intersection curve is represented as the singular set of a bivariate matrix polynomial. The resulting algorithm for evaluating the intersection curve is based on matrix computations like eigendecomposition and singular value decomposition. Furthermore, at each stage of th...
