We discuss the recently devised one-loop gap equation for the magnetic mass of hot QCD. An alternative, and one would hope equivalent, gap equation is presented, which however shows no mass generation at the one-loop level.

TThis paper gives a design method for a model predictive control (MPC) approach based on a unified performance index throughout the start-up phase tension and looper control which consists of the non-contact and contact modes in order to suppress the deviation of the strip tension while the looper contacts with the strip as quickly as possible. We will formulate the control problem by using a M...

Unit Commitment is large scale short-term optimization problem, in which main objective is to schedule generation to minimize the total fuel cost, subjected to large number of constraints that must be satisfied. In this paper unit commitment problem is solved by using a new evolutionary algorithm known as imperialistic algorithm. In ICA the initial populations individuals (countries) are the co...

strain induced precipitation in hsla-100 steel was investigated by conducting hotcompression and relaxation tests at temperature range of 850°c to 1100°c and strain rate of 0.001s-1 to 1s-1. the absence of dynamic recrystallization at temperatures below 1000°c was attributedto the influence of dynamic precipitation. the stress relaxation tests showed that strain inducedprecipitation is possible...

......Welcome to the March/April issue of IEEE Micro, which is devoted to a set of articles summarizing some of the best presentations at the latest Hot Chips symposium. The Hot Chips special issue has been a tradition for several decades now and is an excellent opportunity to report on some of the cuttingedge microprocessor designs and projects in industry, research labs, and academia. Hot Chi...

When managing their growing service portfolio, many manufacturers in B2B markets face two significant problems: They fail to communicate the value of their service offerings to their customers, and they lack the capabilities to generate profits with value-added services. To tackle these two issues, we design and evaluate a collaborative filtering recommender system which (a) makes individualize...

Due to the flexibility in modelling data heterogeneity, heterogeneous information network (HIN) has been adopted to characterize complex and heterogeneous auxiliary data in recommender systems, called HIN based recommendation. It is challenging to develop effective methods for HIN based recommendation in both extraction and exploitation of the information from HINs. Most of HIN based recommenda...

The introduction of recommender systems to existing online services is now practically inevitable, with the increasing number of items and users on online services. Popular recommender systems have successfully implemented satisfactory systems, which are usually based on collaborative filtering. However, collaborative filtering-based recommenders suffer from well-known problems, such as popular...
