in this paper, the optimum shape of tailor-welded blanks (twb) is investigated. the optimization is performed for two different case studies. the first example is deep drawing of a twb with dissimilar materials and uniform thicknesses and the next example is deep drawing of a twb with similar materials and non-uniform thicknesses. the effect of blank optimization on the weld line movement is in...

The growth in the number of users in mobile communications networks and the rise in the traffic generated by each user, are responsible for the increasing importance of Mobility Management. Within Mobility Management, the main objective of Location Management is to enable the roaming of the user in the coverage area. In this paper, we analyze the savings in Location Management costs obtained le...

At least two control points must be available in order to determine the position and orientation of a total station (TS). This paper analyses optimum horizontal location of TS with respect to the control points and gives an answer to question “What is the best location of total station with respect to the control points if the goal is to determine the coordinates of TS and detail points as prec...

This paper considers the optimum method for locating a sync word periodically imbedded in binary data and received over the additive white Gaussian noise channel. It is shown that the optimum rule is to select the location that maximizes the sum of the correlation and a correction term. Simulations are reported that show approximately a 3-dB improvement at interesting signal-tonoise ratios comp...

We study two player reachability-price games on single-clock timed automata. The problem is as follows: given a state of the automaton, determine whether the first player can guarantee reaching one of the designated goal locations. If a goal location can be reached then we also want to compute the optimum price of doing so. Our contribution is twofold. First, we develop a theory of cost functio...

Contemporary global optimization algorithms are based on local measures of utility, rather than a probability measure over location and value of the optimum. They thus attempt to collect low function values, not to learn about the optimum. The reason for the absence of probabilistic global optimizers is that the corresponding inference problem is intractable in several ways. This paper develops...

in recent years, in iran and other countries the power systems are going to move toward creating a competition structure for selling and buying electrical energy. these changes and the numerous advantages of dgs have made more incentives to use these kinds of generators than before. therefore, it is necessary to study all aspects of dgs, such as size selection and optimal placement and impact o...

This paper presents a software layer designed to reduce the consumption of network resources and, at the same time, the amount of location traffic being carried by indoor location systems that are able to use a variety of location techniques. This new layer in the user equipment selects the optimum technique depending on the request, i.e. the location technique that fulfils the required quality...

Solid waste is one of the leading environmental problems affecting human lives. Selecting a landfill where disposed complicated issue that related to many factors and regulations. In this study, optimal sanitary site for An-Najaf city was assessed using GIS weight criteria method. Eight appropriate were selected, which are: urban area, rivers, roads, soil types, elevation, wind, slope, archaeol...
