The potential benefits of mathematically predicting and analyzing the integrated behavior of product concepts throughout the design synthesis cycle are widely recognized. Better up-front integrated design will not only reduce development time and cost, but also will yield higher quality products with improved performance. Many academic researchers and companies have attempted to develop integra...

Today, three dimensional (3-D) solids modeling design technology and the deployment of integrated relational databases on projects in the construction industry have provided the opportunity for advancing the level of achievable integration and automation in the design, construction, and operation of major industrial facilities. The key development has been the linking together of these technolo...

MppSoC is a SIMD architecture composed of a grid of extended MIPS R3000 processors, called Processing Elements (PEs). This embedded system gives interesting performances in several modern applications based on parallel algorithms. Communication is clearly a key issue in such a system. In fact, regular communication between the PEs are assumed by a X-Net network, while point to point connections...

high efficiency and uniformity of water and fertilizer application are usually, considered as the ultimate goals of an appropriate design and management of irrigation and fertigation systems. the objective followed in this paper was to present a simulation-optimization model for alternate vs. conventional furrow fertigation. two simulation models (surface fertigation and swms-2d models) along w...

‎we extend the method of adaptive two-stage sequential sampling to‎‎include designs where there is more than one criteria is used in‎‎deciding on the allocation of additional sampling effort‎. ‎these‎‎criteria‎, ‎or conditions‎, ‎can be a measure of the target‎‎population‎, ‎or a measure of some related population‎. ‎we develop‎‎murthy estimator for the design that is unbiased estimators for‎‎t...

this paper presents novel active filter for mitigation electromagnetic interference (emi) and other adverse effects of pulse width modulation (pwm) inverter-fed ac motor system. an active filter proposed and devised for this system is characterized by sophisticated connection of two small separate filters, capable of mitigating all the adverse effects. this paper provides high frequency models ...

SystemC is a system-level design and simulation language based on Cþþ. We’ve been using SystemC for computer organization and design projects for the past several years. Because SystemC is embedded in Cþþ it contains the powerful abstraction mechanisms of Cþþ not found in traditional hardware description languages, such as support for object-oriented programming and generic programming (templat...

   Self-heating leads to a temperature rise of the laser diode and limits the output power and efficiency due to increased loss and decreased differential gain. To control device self-heating, it is required to design the laser structure with a low optical loss, while the heat flux must spread out of the device efficiently. In this study, a new asymmetric waveguide design is proposed and th...
