The aim of the paper is to present a newly developed approach for reliability-based design optimization. It is based on double loop framework where the outer loop of algorithm covers the optimization part of process of reliability-based optimization and reliability constrains are calculated in inner loop. Innovation of suggested approach is in application of newly developed optimization strateg...

The proposed work will combine chemical kinetics and hydrodynamics in target and test-loop lead-bismuth eutectic (LBE) systems to model system corrosion effects. This approach will result in a predicative tool that can be validated with corrosion test data, used to systematically design tests and interpret the results, and provide guidance for optimization in LBE system designs. The task includ...

In this paper, a new analytical method to find a near-optimal high gain controller for the non-minimum phase affine nonlinear systems is introduced. This controller is derived based on the closed form solution of the Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman (HJB) equation associated with the cheap control problem. This methodology employs an algebraic equation with parametric coefficients for the systems with s...

In the combination of 5-fluorophenyl-1, 3, 7, 9-tetra methylpyrido [2, 3, d, d, 5, 6 dipyrimidine -2, 4, 6, and 8 tetron, there are 4 rings, respectively, ring that is attached to the halogen ring A and, respectively, a ring The lower and the right to the left of the ring A are called C, B, and D. Calculations and studies show that the amount of aromatics in halogen-ring A in all cases has the ...

Close-Color Pair analysis allows for a reliable means to determine if a given image contains a secret message. Counting such pairs for an entire image is computationally intensive, therefore, rendering the technique impractical when attempting to process large numbers of sizeable images. This paper outlines a proposed optimization technique that reduces the running time, while maintaining a rea...

A recent Ontario arbitral award is reshaping the way employers and employees must approach the legal duty to accommodate employees with disabilities in the workplace. Entrenched in both federal and provincial human rights legislation, the duty to accommodate imposes a legal obligation on employers to accommodate employees with disabilities unless such accommodation would cause undue hardship on...

We analyze the distribution of ∑ m i=1 vixi where x1, . . . ,xm are fixed vectors from some lattice L ⊂ R (say Z) and v1, . . . , vm are chosen independently from a discrete Gaussian distribution over Z. We show that under a natural constraint on x1, . . . ,xm, if the vi are chosen from a wide enough Gaussian, the sum is statistically close to a discrete Gaussian over L. We also analyze the cas...

In this paper, close and open loop hexagonal resonator filter, multiplexer of high selectively and compact size are presented. The tri-band multiplexer topology is based on the hexagonal close loop resonators of different size which capacitive coupled from a single input. The filter and multiplexer have been designed on substrate dielectric constant εr = 10.2 and thickness = 0.635 mm. The hexag...

The steady advance of computational methods makes model-based optimization an increasingly attractive method for process improvement. Unfortunately, the available models are often inaccurate. An iterative optimization method called “modifier adaptation” overcomes this obstacle by incorporating process information into the optimization framework. This paper extends this technique to constrained ...
