Most of the variational Monte Carlo applications on quantum chemistry problems rely on variance-optimized wave functions. Recently, M. Snajdr and S. M. Rothstein, @J. Chem. Phys. 112, 4935 ~2000!# have concluded that energy optimization allows one to obtain wave functions that provide better values for a wide variety of ground state properties. In this work we study the quality of energy-optimi...

The plasma wave acceleration of electron in the bubble regime is investigated in a new configuration containing a planar wiggler. The space-charge field of the laser-created ion channel can focuse and stabilize the electron trajectory to guide it toward the acceleration region. The high-gradient plasma wave field can resonantly accelerate the trapped electron to higher energies in the presence ...

Best Management Practices (BMPs) are implemented in a watershed to reduce the amount of non-point source pollutants transported to water bodies. However, an optimization algorithm is required to choose the efficient type, size, and location of BMPs for application in a watershed for improving the water quality. In this study, the Charged System Search, a well-known and powerful meta-heuristic o...

ABSTRACT- Agricultural extension agents should provide dry land producers with appropriate education to make them more interested in learning about water use optimization. Therefore, it is recommended to accompany education with art. In this regard, a study, using the randomized experimental research design, was carried out among dry land grape producers in Herayjan village, Southwest Iran, usi...

Optimization design of water supply pipe network is important with the development of economy and the increasingly fast urbanization process. Harmony search algorithm for the optimal design of water supply networks provides a better nonlinear optimization method. The improved strategy of the dynamic harmony memory size is proposed, through the optimization computation to water supply pipe netwo...

Extended shallow water wave equations are derived, using the method of asymptotic expansions, from Euler (or wave) equations. These extended models valid one order beyond usual weakly nonlinear, long approximation, incorporating all appropriate dispersive and nonlinear terms. Specifically, first we derive Korteweg–de Vries (KdV) equation, then proceed with Benjamin–Bona–Mahony Camassa–Holm in (...

This thesis contributes to the computer-aided design (CAD) of spiral inductors and LC resonators with spiral inductors exploiting full-wave electromagnetic (EM) analysis. The spiral inductor is widely used in radio frequency integrated circuits (RF ICs), such as low noise amplifiers (LNA) and voltage controlled oscillators (VCO). The design of spiral inductors has a direct influence on the perf...

1. Absorption of waves means generation of waves. A body oscillating in water will produce waves. A big body and a small body may produce equally large waves provided the smaller body oscillates with larger amplitude. This may be utilised for the purpose of wave energy conversion, for instance by a small floating body heaving in response to an incident wave, in particular so if it can be arrang...

We observe the propagation dynamics of surface gravity water waves, having an Airy function envelope, in both the linear and the nonlinear regimes. In the linear regime, the shape of the envelope is preserved while propagating in an 18-m water tank, despite the inherent dispersion of the wave packet. The Airy wave function can propagate at a velocity that is slower (or faster if the Airy envelo...
