On Feasibility of Adaptive Level Hardware Evolution for Emergent Fault Tolerant Communication

A permanent physical fault in communication lines usually leads to a failure. The feasibility of evolution of a self organized communication is studied in this paper to defeat this problem. In this case a communication protocol may emerge between blocks and also can adapt itself to environmental changes like physical faults and defects. In spite of faults, blocks may continue to function since ...

Double skin glass façade and its effect on saving energy

One of the most important methods of saving energy and providing indoor comfort conditions of buildings is the careful design of the façades. A “double skin glass façade” is optimally one of the best options that control the heat interaction between indoor and outdoor spaces. Two kinds of heating energy is usually transmitted through exterior envelope “conduction” and “radiation”. Double skin g...

Computing a block incomplete LU preconditioner as the by-product of block left-looking A-biconjugation process

In this paper, we present a block version of incomplete LU preconditioner which is computed as the by-product of block A-biconjugation process. The pivot entries of this block preconditioner are one by one or two by two blocks. The L and U factors of this block preconditioner are computed separately. The block pivot selection of this preconditioner is inherited from one of the block versions of...
