A numerical investigation is performed into the diffusive effects of cylinders positioned in front of a Schroeder diffuser. A regular line of cylinders is shown to offer notable improvements to diffusion from a periodic Schroeder device, provided lateral cylinder spacing is incommensurable with the Schroeder period width. Further investigation considers angular dependence and low frequency resu...

An appropriate well spacing plan is critical for the economic development of shale gas reservoirs. The biggest challenge optimization interpreting subsurface uncertainties associated with hydraulic and natural fractures. Another existence complex This work applied an integrated workflow in reservoirs Sichuan Basin China both consists five components: data preparation, reservoir simulation, esti...

Highly coherent sensing matrices arise in discretization of continuum problems such as radar and medical imaging when the grid spacing is below the Rayleigh threshold as well as in using highly coherent, redundant dictionaries as sparsifying operators. Algorithms (BOMP, BLOOMP) based on techniques of band exclusion and local optimization are proposed to enhance Orthogonal Matching Pursuit (OMP)...

Dip Pen Nanolithography (DPN) is a lithographic technique that allows direct deposition of chemicals, metals, biological macromolecules, and other molecular “inks” with nanometer dimensions and precision. This paper addresses recent developments in the design and demonstration of high-density multiprobe DPN arrays. High-density arrays increase the process throughput over individual atomic force...

Heavy traffic on highways requires the optimization of inter-distances between vehicles in order to reach time performance and to provide safety solution in transport. Variable spacing and constant spacing are the two policies for the longitudinal control of platoon. Variable spacing doesn’t require a lot of data (position, speed...) from other vehicles, and string stability using only on-board...

This paper presents a new approach for linear antenna array failure correction using geometry optimization of the failed antenna elements. It is done by changing the length and spacing of failed elements while the spacing and length of remaining elements are fixed. The flower pollination algorithm based on the characteristic of flowering plants has been used to correct the radiation pattern of ...

Economic optimization of shell and tube heat exchanger (STHE) is presented in this paper. To increase the rate of heat transfer, copper oxide (CuO) nanoparticle is added into the tube side fluid and their optimum results are compared with the case of without additive nanoparticle. Total annual cost (TAC) is selected as fitness function and nine decision variables related to the heat exchanger p...

in this research, the appropriateness of drainmod-n model was evaluated for the simulation of nitrate transport with subsurface drainage in paddy fields. during a canola growing season from november 2011 to april 2012, the nitrate concentration of drainage water and soil saturation extracts of two depths of 30 and 60 cm was measured in consolidated paddy fields of sari agricultural sciences and...

A key issue for high integration circuit design in the semiconductor industry are power constraints that stem from the need for heat removal and reliability or battery lifetime limitations. As the power consumption depends heavily on the capacitances between adjacent wires, determining the optimal ordering and spacing of parallel wires is an important issue in the design of low power chips. As ...

Reduction of interconnect delay and interconnect power has become a primary design challenge in recent CMOS technology generations. Spacing between wires can be modified so that line-to-line capacitances will be optimized for minimal power under timing constraints. In this paper, we present a novel algorithm for simultaneous multilayer interconnect spacing that minimizes the total dynamic power...
