This work presents a modular floating structure, which consists of five inner tension-leg platforms and two outermost wave energy converters (denoted as MTLPW). The hydrodynamic interaction effect the mechanical coupling between (TLP) (WEC) are taken into consideration. effects connection modes power take-off (PTO) parameters WECs on performance MTLPW system investigated under both operational ...

doi: 10.1111/j.1399-3054.2006.00680.x Pressure–volume (P–V) curves for leaves or terminal shoots summarize leaflevel responses to increasing water deficit. P–V curve traits and fieldmeasured shoot xylem pressures were characterized across 62 species from four sites differing in rainfall and soil phosphorus. Within-species variation in the measured traits was small relative to differences among ...

Verifying a 64-bit multiplier has a computational complexity that puts it beyond the grasp of current nite-state algorithms, including those based upon homomorphic reduction, the induction principle, and bdd xed-point algorithms. Theorem proving, while not bound by the same computational constraints, may not be feasible for routinely coping with the complex, low-level details of a real multipli...

AbstractPooling methods are necessities for modern neural networks increasing receptive fields and lowering down computational costs. However, commonly used hand-crafted pooling approaches, e.g., max average pooling, may not well preserve discriminative features. While many researchers have elaborately designed various variants in spatial domain to handle these limitations with much progress, t...

A simple SPICE macro model has been created for ESD MOS modeling. The model consists of standard components only, mainly a MOS transistor modeled by BSIM3v3, a bipolar transistor modeled by VBIC, and a resistor for substrate resistance. It offers advantages of convenience in CAD implementation, high simulation speed, wider availability, and less convergence issues. The modeling approach has bee...

Emerging applications such as forest fire monitoring have increasing demands on WSN to transmit data in real-time. In order to ensure real-time data transmission, it requires that the operating system of a node should schedule tasks in real-time. TinyOS is one of the most popular operation systems that support multifarious applications. However, its FIFO scheduling strategy does not guarantee r...

Regarding the possible multiple functions of a specific gene, finding the alternative roles of genes is a major challenge. Huge amount of available expression data and the central role of the promoter and its regulatory elements provide unique opportunely to address this issue. The question is that how the expression data and promoter analysis can be applied to uncover the different functions o...

A numerical method solving for the diffraction potential on hull is coupled with a boundary element (BEM) to evaluate propeller-induced pressures. The BEM first implemented hydrodynamic analysis of non-cavitating/cavitating propellers in absence hull, and predicted solutions are taken as known unbounded potentials pressure calculations. tip loaded propeller (TLP) adopted model mounted under fla...
