This paper deals with the performance analysis of the screening unit in a paper plant using Genetic Algorithm. The screening unit in the paper plant has four main subsystems. These subsystems are arranged in series and parallel configurations. Considering exponential distribution for the probable failures and repairs, the mathematical formulation of the problem is done by Markov birth-death pro...

population growth, industrial pollution and high-energy consumption, cause the release of significant amounts of pollutants in the environment. power plants play an important role in the release of pollutants such as sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, and carbon dioxide. if the necessary measures in the field of prevention and control do not be implemented, human health and other living creatures...

admiration for environment in general needs to be profoundly rooted in an understanding of history. urban history is unique not only in the fact that it reflects climate but also in that it cuts across many different fields. in most schools of urban studies many aspects of science and technology are taught with relation to design in order to attain skills for practice. during a student’s later ...

FASTA and FASTQ are basic and ubiquitous formats for storing nucleotide and protein sequences. Common manipulations of FASTA/Q file include converting, searching, filtering, deduplication, splitting, shuffling, and sampling. Existing tools only implement some of these manipulations, and not particularly efficiently, and some are only available for certain operating systems. Furthermore, the com...

A notion of rational Baker-Akhiezer (BA) function related to a configuration of hyperplanes in C n is introduced. It is proved that BA function exists only for very special configurations (locus configurations), which satisfy certain overdetermined algebraic system. The BA functions satisfy some algebraically integrable Schrödinger equations, so any locus configuration determines such an equati...
