With increasing numbers of antimicrobial-resistant (AMR) bacteria strains, it becomes essential that new and effective routes to minimizing bacterial infection rates are produced. Superhydrophobic materials show be in reducing the attachment due their unique wetting properties which can minimize points at initially adhere. Here, impact surface design on anti-biofouling capabilities superhydroph...

In this paper, we propose a technique based on two evolutionary algorithms simulated annealing and particle swarm optimization to design a linear array of half wavelength long parallel dipole antennas that will generate a pencil beam in the horizontal plane with minimum standing wave ratio (SWR) and fixed side lobe level (SLL). Dynamic range ratio of current amplitude distribution is kept at a ...

one of the mostly used enhanced oil recovery methods is the injection of water or gas under pressure to maintain or reverse the declining pressure in a reservoir. several parameters should be optimized in a fluid injection process. the usual optimizing methods evaluate several scenarios to find the best solution. since it is required to run the reservoir simulator hundreds of times, the process...

This study provided quantitative analyses about the influence of phasing sequences and the impact of intersection spacing. A large number of signal system scenarios were randomly generated to represent the real-world traffic systems. Based on simulation result, it was concluded that Leading and Lagging left turn phasing were more likely to be involved in progression bandwidth solution of signal...
