Micro-Channel Heat Sink is a heat exchanger which is used to control the temperature of electronic devices with high heat flux. A comprehensive thermal model for the micro-channels should include three dimensional conduction analysis in the solid body together with three dimensional developing fluid flow as well as heat transfer analyses in the fluid section. This paper reports on a research ...

We propose an algorithm for exploring the entire regularization path of asymmetric-cost linear support vector machines. Empirical evidence suggests the predictive power of support vector machines depends on the regularization parameters of the training algorithms. The algorithms exploring the entire regularization paths have been proposed for single-cost support vector machines thereby providin...

Observations of the Caspian Sea during August-September 1995 are used to develop a three-dimensional numerical model to be used in calculating temperature and current. The model has variable grid resolution and horizontal smoothing that filters out small scale vertical motion. Data from the meteorological buoy network on the Caspian Sea are combined with routine observations at first-order syno...

Minkowski-sum cost model indicates that balanced data partitioning is not beneficial for high dimensional data. Thus we study several unbalanced partitioning methods and propose cost models for them based on Minkowski-sum cost model. Our cost models indicate that the distance to one of both ends of data space dominates the expected value under uniform data distribution. We generalize studied me...

Two-dimensional (2-D) gene scanning (TDGS) is a method for mutation detection based on the electrophoretic separation of PCR-amplified DNA fragments according to size and base pair sequence. The use of denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) as the second separation step provides virtually 100% sensitivity, while the 2-D format allows the inspection of multiple gene fragments simultaneou...

This paper describes a new approach for modeling the human hand by considering the dynamics and the natural constraints of the motion and the shape of hands. This hand model consists of a dynamic model and a surface model. The dynamic model is used to generate the posture of a hand. We show that the natural hand posture can be generated even when only a few hand parameters are available. The su...

In this paper, development of a semi-two- dimensional mathematical model called SDAR is introduced. The model is composed of two principal modules of hydraulics and sediment transport. The newly developed SDAR model has a number of capabilities including determination of sediment transport rate, aggradation - degradation calculation, longitudinal profile and lateral cross–sectional variation s...

Supply chain management helps partners in the chain to justify internal costs. The pursuit of cost information through the supply chain is very important for controlling costs, which helps to establish and optimize activities in institutions in the value chain. In this research, we have tried to review the literature on Supply Chain Costing in order to predict a model of management dashboard de...
