Rotary entrainment is a phenomenon in which the interface of two immiscible fluids are subjected to external flux by means of rotation. Present work reports the experimental study on rotary motion of a horizontal cylinder between the interface of air and water to observe the penetration of gas inside the liquid. Experiments have been performed to establish entrainment of air mass in water along...

Multi-objective open-shop scheduling is definitely significant in practical. However, the research focused on multi-objective open-shop scheduling was relatively scarce. This article proposed a particle swarm optimization to address open-shop scheduling problems with multiple objectives. Originally, particle swarm optimization was invented to treat continuous optimization problems. In this pape...

The visual localization problem in robotics poses a dynamically changing environment due to the movement of the robot compared to a static image set serving as environmental map. We develop a particle swarm method adapted to this task and apply elements from dynamic optimization research. We show that our algorithm is able to outperform a Particle Filter, which is a standard localization approa...

This paper presents a procedure for automating digital image analysis of cloud particle images recorded on video tape using the Cloudscope. 1 The Cloudscope is mounted on the wing of an aircraft and records cloud crystals as they impact the external lens and sublimate. The procedure presented breaks the analysis into several parts: frequency domain ltering, frame to frame movement correction, a...
