in this paper, scattering of a plane and monochromatic electromagnetic wave from a nano-wire is simulated using surface integral equations. first, integral equationsgoverning unknown fields on the surface is obtained based on stratton-cho surface integral equations. then, the interaction of the wave with a non-plasmonic as well as a palsmonic nano-wire is considered. it is shown that in scatter...

In the literature hardly any attention is paid to solving a fuzzy fixed charge transportation problem. In this paper, we consider the fully fixed-charge transportation problem and try to find both the lower and upper bounds on the fuzzy optimal value of such a problem in which all of the parameters are triangular fuzzy numbers. To illustrate the proposed method, a numerical example is ‎presented.‎

Accurate lifetime prediction of lithium-ion batteries is a great challenge for the researchers and engineers involved in battery applications in electric vehicles and satellites.  In this study, a semi-empirical model is introduced to predict the capacity loss of lithium-ion batteries as a function of charge and discharge cycles, operational time, and temperature. The model parameters are obtai...

The title distannoxane, [Sn(4)(CH(3))(8)(C(3)H(4)N(3)S)(2)(CH(3)O)(2)O(2)], lies about a center of inversion; the tetra-nuclear mol-ecule features a three-rung-staircase Sn(4)O(4) core in which the two crystallographically independent Sn(IV) atoms are bridged by the triazolide group. The negatively charged N atom of the triazolide group binds to the terminal Sn atom at a shorter distance [Sn-N ...

We examine whether editorial slant influences electoral outcomes in the context of one of the most powerful media conglomerates in US history. In the early 1900s, the Hearst newspaper empire was politically charged and considered influential. We test if the Hearst newspapers affected elections. Using a difference-in-differences and matching methodology, we find that the introduction of a Hearst...

In this paper, we develop the fuzzy fixed charge transportation problem when the costs are the fuzzy numbers. The first step it transform into the classical fuzzy transportation problem. The next, we obtain the best approximation fuzzy on the optimal value of the fuzzy fixed-charge transportation problem. This method obtains a lower and upper bounds both on the fuzzy optimal value of the fuzzy ...
