Generating electric power using solar thermal systems is effective, particularly for countries with high potential. In order to decide on a relevant location implement the tower plant and develop mathematical model of no-blocking heliostat field, meteorological assessment was discussed in this paper. addition, parametric study examined evaluate effect designed parameters (heliostat size, height...

Effective layout pattern sampling is a fundamental component for lithography process optimization, hotspot detection, and model calibration. Existing pattern sampling algorithms rely on either vector quantization or heuristic approaches. However, it is difficult to manage these methods due to the heavy demands of prior knowledge, such as high-dimensional layout features and manually tuned hypot...

Improving of the quality of the disc cutters’ plane layout design of the full-face rock tunnel boring machine (TBM) is the most effective way to improve the global performance of a TBM. The plane layout design of disc cutters contains multiple complex engineering technical requirements and belongs to a multi-objective optimization problem with multiple nonlinear constraints. Based on analysis o...

In order to consider the psychological cognitive characteristics affecting operating comfort and realize the automatic layout design, cognitive ergonomics and GA-ACA (genetic algorithm and ant colony algorithm) were introduced into the layout design of human-machine interaction interface. First, from the perspective of cognitive psychology, according to the information processing process, the c...

This paper browses through some well-known meta-heuristic search strategies, and briefly discusses some of their recent applications to the VLSI layout design process. It starts with very brief description of the different phases of VLSI layout design, and a brief overview of Meta-Heuristic search strategies. Since most of the VLSI layout design problems are hard optimization problems, the conc...
