Axial particle loss is one of the main challenges for fusion aimed, linear magnetic mirror plasma configurations. One way to mitigate this disadvantage and increase confinement time use a multiple mirrors setup. The idea reduce outgoing flux by collisions in outer cells. Here, we develop semi-kinetic rate equation model ions' density dynamics, including scattering within cell transmission betwe...

Minimax optimization is a widely-used formulation for robust design in multiple operating or environmental scenarios, where the worst-case performance among scenarios objective requiring large number of quality assessments. Consequently, minimax using evolutionary algorithms becomes prohibitive when each assessment involves computationally expensive numerical simulations costly physical experim...

Energy storage is crucial for source-side renewable energy power plants for enhancing output stability and reducing mismatch between power generation and demand. However, installing large size energy storage systems for renewable energy plants may not be economic, due to high capital cost and everincreasing human resources and maintenance cost. As a result, in this paper, a shared energy storag...

To optimize the water distribution of three industries based on the water demand prediction under multiple uncertainties, a fuzzy credibility-constrained interval two-stage stochastic programming (FCITSP) model base on the Cobb-Douglas production (CD) function was developed. The CD-FCITSP model integrated fuzzy credibility-constrained programming (FCP), an interval two-stage stochastic programm...

In extra dimensional models with Kaluza-Klein graviton states that are well separated in mass, such states may be observed as resonances in collider experiments. We extend previous works on such scenarios by considering the one-loop resonant production of a Z boson in association with a photon. We find the production rate to be negligible in conservative scenarios, and small for reasonable lumi...

Recent studies have inferred the feasibility of time-lapse controlled-source electromagnetic (CSEM) methods for the surveillance of offshore oil and gas fields. However, quantitative interpretations have not been shown to ascertain what information about the reservoirs that may be recovered. We present a 3D inversion study of synthetic time-lapse CSEM data for the lateral water flooding of a re...

Climate change has direct and indirect consequences on crop production and food security. Agriculture and cropproduction is one of the factors which depend on the weather conditions and it provides the human requirements inmany aspects. The objective of this study is to assess the impacts of future climatic change on irrigated rice yieldusing the CERES-Rice model in the Southern Coast of Caspia...

The Maximum Likelihood Probabilistic Data Association (ML-PDA) tracker and the Maximum Likelihood Probabilistic Multi-Hypothesis (ML-PMHT) tracker were applied to five synthetic multistatic active sonar scenarios featuring multiple targets, multiple sources, and multiple receivers. For each of the scenarios, Monte Carlo testing was performed to quantify the performance differences between the t...

Concerns related to climate change and security of energy supply is pushing various countries to make strategic energy planning decisions. In this regard, energy system modelling is an appropriate method to find out the utilization of current declining non-renewable energy resources and other possible scenarios. Consequently, it is available to consider various aspects of energy system decision...
