Most of the recently proposed parallel CFD algorithms stem from the "divide and conquer" paradigm and involve some form of domain decomposition. When the discretization is highly regular and when the number of desired subdomains is such that a regular mesh decomposition is possible (i.e. box or strip decompositions), finding an appropriate mesh partition is a trivial task. However, the problem ...

Large-scale real-world graphs are known to have highly skewed vertex degree distribution and highly skewed edge weight distribution. Existing vertex-centric iterative graph computation models suffer from a number of serious problems: (1) poor performance of parallel execution due to inherent workload imbalance at vertex level; (2) inefficient CPU resource utilization due to short execution time...

in order to study the effect of strip intercropping of maize (zea mays l.) and bean (phaseolus vulgaris l.) on the dry matter yield and land equivalent ratio (ler) in weedy and weed free treatments, an experiment was conducted at the agricultural station of college of agriculture, ferdowsi university of mashhad, iran. treatments were strip width of 2, 3, 4 and 5 rows and sole cropping of each c...

in this paper, the rolling force and reduction ratio have been investigated in multilayer strip rolling. for this purpose, two different set of multilayers have been selected which are al/st/al and cu/al/cu layouts. at first, the validation of the numerical analysis was performed by using an experimental test. after validation of the numerical results, two set of multilayer layouts were simulat...

This paper presents a new approach for the design of a multiband uniplanar CPW-fed monopole antenna. The antenna consists of a fork like monopole strip to which is added an inverted U-shaped strip. The three branch fork like strip can create three resonant bands within the WLAN range while the placement of the inverted U-shaped strip provides a better impedance matching for the lowest resonant ...

Strip profile control in cold rolling of thin strip is a difficult and challenge problem found in industry. Currently using the novel type of strip rolling mill, such as the work roll crossing and shifting is the one of the main methods to control the strip profile quality in cold rolling. In this paper, 3-D finite element simulation models of the thin strip profile in cold rolling for the work...

rapeseed (brassica napus l.) is a crop relatively tolerant to salt. the effect of different ratios of nacl/kcl was studied in two cultivars (hyola308 and kristina) of rapeseed in 2002. canola seedlings were grown in hoagland’s solutions, which were salinized by different ratios of nacl/kcl. the treatments or kcl:nacl ratios were 0:0 (control);10:10; 20:0 (total added salt or tas=20 mol.m-3), 0:...

Introduction: Microstrip have been developed due to specific features: high Q factor, low mutual coupling (often used at high field MRI for parallel imaging), and radiation losses are significantly reduced (which enhances SNR). Balanced feeding of the microstrip preserves the electrical symmetry with respect to the strip center, making the probe invariant under different loading conditions (dif...
