Utilising molten salt as coolant instead of carbon dioxide in traditional advanced gas-cooled reactors (AGRs) can potentially increase their core power density, simplify the safety case and shorten time needed for development fluoride-salt-cooled high-temperature reactor (FHR). However, change has a strong impact on system behaviour. Therefore, new type fuel assembly is required. design affecte...

A mobile ad-hoc network (MANET), a set of wirelessly connected sensor nodes, is a dynamic system that executes hop-by-hop routing independently with no external help of any infrastructure. Proper selection of cluster heads can increase the life time of the Ad-hoc network by decreasing the energy consumption. Although different methods have been successfully proposed by researchers to tackle...

Prediction and parameter optimization are effective methods for mine personnel to control blast-induced ground vibration. However, the challenge of prediction lies in multi-factor multi-effect nature open-pit blasting. This study proposes a hybrid intelligent model predict vibrations using least-squares support vector machine (LSSVM) optimized by particle swarm algorithm (PSO). Meanwhile, multi...

In this paper, we proposed an algorithm for solving the problem of task scheduling using particle swarm optimization algorithm, with changes in the Selection and removing the guide and also using the technique to get away from the bad, to move away from local extreme and diversity. Scheduling algorithms play an important role in grid computing, parallel tasks Scheduling and sending them to ...

Structural optimization for vehicle fatigue durability signifies an exciting topic of research to improve its long-term safety and performance with minimum cost. Nevertheless, majority of the existing studies has been dealing with deterministic optimization and has not involved uncertainties, which could lead to an unstable or even useless design in practice. In order to simultaneously enhance ...

Reducing energy consumption and maintenance costs of a pumping system is seen as an important but difficult multi-objective optimization problem. Many evolutionary algorithms, such particle swarm (PSO), (MOPSO), non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm II (NSGA-II) have been used. However, lack comparison between these approaches poses challenge to the selection approach for stormwater drainage ...

Given the growth of wireless networks and increase advantages applications communication networks, especially mobile ad hoc (MANETs), this type network has attracted attention users researchers more than before. The benefit these types in various kinds environments is that MANET does not require to hardware infrastructure communicate send receive data packets within network. It one main reasons...

Abstract Distributed power can effectively alleviate the problems of environmental pollution and energy shortage. Based on consideration low-carbon benefits DG, a multi-objective mathematical model with minimal system carbon dioxide emissions, minimum annual network loss cost, voltage deviation distribution is established for multi-type DG access location capacity. This solved using MOPSO algor...
