A multi-objective optimization (MOO) of two-element wing models with morphing flap by using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) techniques, artificial neural networks (ANN), and non-dominated sorting genetic algorithms (NSGA II), is performed in this paper. At first, the domain is solved numerically in various two-element wing models with morphing flap using CFD techniques and lift (L) and drag ...

WEST++ is a modelling and simulation environment for any kind of process which can be described (in an Object– Oriented fashion) as a structured collection of Differential Algebraic Equations (DAE’s). Currently however, WEST++ is applied to Waste-Water Treatment Plant (WWTP) design and optimization. In particular, the IAWQ1 model [1] is the basis for a simple model of the dynamics of a basic WW...

The exchange graph of a quiver is the graph of mutation-equivalent quivers whose edges correspond to mutations. The exchange graph admits a natural acyclic orientation called the oriented exchange graph. Building on work of Iyama, Reiten, Thomas, and Todorov, we show that this directed graph is a semidistributive lattice by using the isomorphism to the lattice of functorially finite torsion cla...

Epithelial tissues develop planar polarity that is reflected in the global alignment of hairs and cilia with respect to the tissue axes. The planar cell polarity (PCP) proteins form asymmetric and polarized domains across epithelial junctions that are aligned locally between cells and orient these external structures. Although feedback mechanisms can polarize PCP proteins intracellularly and lo...

The aim of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of the attention training technique (ATT) on the frequency of intrusive thoughts experienced by a person with schizophrenia in her daily life. The attentional procedure was designed to attenuate self-focused attention and to reinforce attentional control and consisted of auditory external exercises. Homework practice was included to pro...

The investigation of aeroelastic/aeroservoelastic stability through flight testing is an essential part of aircraft certification. The stability boundary prediction is especially difficult when the instability is associated with nonlinearities in the dynamics. An approach is presented for the characterization of the nonlinear dynamics by noniterative identification algorithms. Two different blo...
