This paper challenges common assumptions about convexity in forest rotation models which optimize timber &s nontimber benefits. If a local optimum occurs earlier than the globally optimal age, policy based on marginal incentives may achieve suboptimal results. Policy-relevant nonconvexities are more likely if (i) nontimber benefits dominate for young stands while the optimal age depends primari...

The presented research work represent a highly robust and efficient parallel computing system development for biological gene sequencing. In this research work, the existing approaches has optimized the most optimum approach available till date in the form of Smithy Waterman algorithm for gene alignment or local gene sequencing. This paper mainly emphasizes on the system development for a trace...

We present a resource management algorithm based upon guided “walks” within a system state space. Walks are guided via simple predictions of optimum behavior whose accuracy increases as system state approaches a predicted optimum. Optimum behavior is defined as maximizing payoff, which is the difference between value of provided service and cost of providing the service. Feedback between predic...

In this study, the effect of surfactants (Tween-80 and Acetonitrile) inclusions in the culture medium of Bacillus subtilis on the yield and characteristics of extracellular protease was investigated. The results showed that addition of Tween-80 increased the enzyme yield by 5 folds and thermal stability from 50C to 60C. Tween-80 did not affect the optimum pH, KM and VMax values as well as the e...

background fenton (fe2+ and h2o2) and modified fenton (fe3+ and h2o2) are two popular methods used in advanced oxidation processes (aop) and degradation of persistent organic pollutants (pops), such as dye compounds. in these processes, fe2+ and fe3+ as catalysts and h2o2 as the oxidizing agent are added to the reactor. objectives the aim of the current study is to assess the abovementioned met...

in this paper, a new approach is proposed for the optimum design of single-phase induction motor. by using the classical design equations and the evolutionary algorithms such as genetic algorithms (ga), particle swarm optimization (pso) and modified particle swarm optimization (mpso), a single phase induction motor (spim) was designed with the maximum efficiency. the finite element method (fem)...

We examine the properties and applications of a general class of multi-wavelength optical code-division multiple access codes in high-speed optical local area networks. We demonstrate that multiple pulse per row codes with optimum threshold detection admit maximization of the number of simultaneous users and spectral efficiency. The code design problem is also greatly simplified when the optimu...
