Email: [email protected] Abstract: Optimization methods commonly are designed for solving the optimization problems. Local search algorithms are optimization method, which are good candidate in exploiting the search space. However, most of them need parameter tuning and incapable of escaping from local optima. This work proposes non-parametric Acceptance Criterion (AC) that not relies o...

In this paper we analyze measurements conducted in an indoor environment of our university building at a central frequency of 2.4 GHz in terms of the Saleh-Valenzuela channel. The channel parameters are extrapolated by processing the power-delay profiles measured by a vector network analyzer. Final adjustments of the parameters are obtained by comparison of simulated and measured delay-spread c...

A joint effort between the U.S. Naval Academy and the National Institute of Standard and Technology (NIST) resulted in the development of a method to characterize the capacitance and dissipation factor of a set of commercial standard four terminal-pair (4TP) capacitors. The method depends on network analyzer impedance measurements at high frequencies (40 MH–200 MHz) and a regression of these me...

background: ammonium is produced in culture medium due to amino acids degradation and has adverse effect on in vitro culture of embryo. in the current study, the purpose was to evaluate the effects of ammuniom chloride (ac) on in vitro oocyte maturation rate and early embryo development in the sheep and its effect on the expression of bcl-2. methods: in vitro maturation (ivm) was performed in t...

Permanent magnet linear alternators are energy converting devices that have been under research and development for years. This type of alternators have advantages of high efficiency and no need of liner motion to rotation converting, when the driving force is in linear oscillation. Such applications can be found when ocean tide, solar power, and swing motions are used for generating electric p...
