HYBRID PARTICLE SWARM OPTIMIZATION, GRID SEARCH METHOD AND UNIVARIATE METHOD TO OPTIMALLY DESIGN STEEL FRAME STRUCTURES

This paper combines particle swarm optimization, grid search method and univariate method as a general optimization approach for any type of problems emphasizing on optimum design of steel frame structures. The new algorithm is denoted as the GSU-PSO. This method attempts to decrease the search space and only searches the space near the optimum point. To achieve this aim, the whole search space...

A Simple Image Analysis Method for Determination of Glucose by using Glucose Oxidase CdTe/TGA Quantum Dots

Glucose, as the major energy source in cellular metabolism, plays an important role in the natural growth of cells. Herein, a simple, rapid and low-cost method for the glucose determination by utilizing glucose oxidase and CdTe/thioglycolic acid (TGA) quantum dots (QDs) on a thin layer chromatography (TLC) plate has been described. The detection was based on the combination of the glucose enzym...

A simple spectrophotometric method for the determination of blood sugar by phenylhydrazine Hydrochlorlde

A Simple Iterative Alignment Method Using Gradient Descending Minimum Search

Large tracking systems of present experiments in high energy physics consist of typically 10 individual detector elements. The alignment procedure has to fix up to 10 parameters. We propose a simple and robust iterative updating alignment method using reconstructed tracks. The geometrical parameters are adjusted using a gradient descending minimum search which does not require handling of large...

AN AUTOMATIC METHOD FOR DETERMINATION OF Lg ARRIVAL TIMES

The regional phase Lg is often used to estimate location and magnitude for sources closer than 1500 km. The complexity of Lg waveforms makes it difficult to consistently determine a unique Lg arrival time, thus affecting source location with a single station or array. This study tests an automatic method for timing Lg arrivals using wavelet transforms to decompose the Lg signal into its compone...
