We review the growing literature on relationship between venture capital (VC) booms and start-up financing, focusing three broad areas. First, we discuss drivers of large inflows into VC asset class, particularly in recent years, which are related to but also distinct from macroeconomic business cycles stock market fluctuations. Second, emerging real effects financing booms. A particular focus ...

This paper describes an application of fuzzy-logic and evolutionary computation to the optimization of the start-up phase of a combined cycle power plant. We modelled process experts’ knowledge with fuzzy sets over the process variables in order to get the needed cost function for the Genetic Algorithm (GA) we used to obtain the optimal regulations. Due to the obvious impossibility to test the ...

a laboratory stirred tank bioreactor with six single and dual-impeller configurations was tested to obtain the optimum operating conditions for future biological processes. six impeller combinations consisting of three basic impeller types, namely rushton turbine (rt), pitched 4blade (p4b) and pitched 2blade (p2b) downward flow were investigated in 1.77 l bioreactor working volume. power consum...

The Magnetron is one of the efficiency high-power microwave source, although the energy conversion efficiency decreases with pulsed-power relativistic electron beam. We study the capability to increase energy conversion efficiency of Relativistic Magnetron by using Transparent Cathode. The Transparent-Cathode consists of independent cathode strips. Each cathode strip caused azimuthal magnetic f...
