BACKGROUND The distribution of birth intervals can be used to draw attention to important characteristics of dynamics of fertility process. The main objective of this paper is to examine the effects of socioeconomic, demographic and proximate determinants on the length of birth intervals of women of Bangladesh and also to see whether the effects are changed over the years. METHODS Birth inter...

Block volumes are generally estimated by analyzing the discontinuity spacing measurements obtained either from the scan lines placed over the rock exposures or the borehole cores. Discontinuity spacing measurements made at the Mesozoic limestone quarries in Karaburun Peninsula were used to estimate the average block volumes that could be produced from them using the suggested methods in the lit...

The traditional tenon and mortise joint has low processing efficiency a weak theoretical basis, making the structure easy to deform damage, reducing safety, increasing waste of resources. This study aims determine optimum dowel center spacing parameter for chamfered-joint components maximum value strength joints loaded into bending tensile strength. In this study, an integrated optimization met...

The spacing effect describes the robust phenomenon whereby memory is enhanced when learning events are distributed, instead of being presented in succession. We investigated the effect of spacing on children's memory and category induction. Three-year-old children were presented with two tasks, a memory task and a category induction task. In the memory task, identical instances of an object wer...

This research discusses the optimization of production carried out in Well A and B. The two Wells are with three layers (multilayer) that have different characteristics for each layer. Based on performance evaluation Wells, it’s known B no longer able to produce naturally (natural flow). Therefore, necessary an artificial lift order be produce.The method used is install electric submersible pum...

This paper presents an interconnect-driven floorplanning (IDFP) flow and algorithm integrated with multi-layer global wiring planning (GWP). It considers a number of interconnect performance optimizations during floorplanning, including interconnect topology optimization, layer assignment, buffer insertion, wire sizing and spacing. It also includes fast routability estimation and performance-dr...

With a goal to optimize the element positions to reduce the peak sidelobe level (PSLL) of the array pattern, a modified real Genetic Algorithms (MGA) for the synthesis of sparse linear arrays is described. The multiple optimization constrains include the number of elements, the aperture and the minimum element spacing. The advanced new approach reduces the size of the searching area of GA by me...
