In this article, an open-source code for the simulation of fluid flow, including adsorption, transport, and indirect hydromechanical coupling in unconventional fractured reservoirs is described. The leverages cutting-edge numerical modeling capabilities like automatic differentiation, stochastic fracture modeling, multicontinuum discrete models. mass balance equation, specific physical mechanis...

Load shift keying (LSK) is widely used in a wireless power transfer (WPT) system to backscatter secondary side information the primary side. However, when coupling coefficient ( k ) between transmitter and receiver coils lower than critical value ...

A software element defined in one place is typically used in many places. When it is changed, all its occurrences may need to be changed too, which can severely hinder software evolution. This has led to the support of encapsulation in modern programming languages. Unfortunately, as is shown in this paper, this is not enough to express all the constraints that are needed to decouple programming...

For improving the reliability and efficiency of the dynamic modelling and simulation of planar linkage with revolute joint clearances, the corresponding vector bond graph procedure is proposed. Based on the kinematic relations, the vector bond graph model of a rigid body undergoing planar motion is built. Besides this, the vector bond graph model of revolute joint clearance is made based on con...

This paper presents the robust design of a Power System Stabilizer (PSS) to improve the stability in the composed two-area Load Frequency Control (LFC) and Automatic Voltage Regulator (AVR) using Artificial Bee Colony (ABC) in a restructured environment. The coupling effects of the LFC and AVR loops are studied by extending the linearized Automatic Generation Control (AGC) system to include the...

The main challenge in Wastewater Treatment Plants (WWTP) by activated sludge process is the reduction of the energy consumption that varies according to the pollutant load of influent. However, this energy is fundamentally used for aerators in a biological process. The modeling of energy consumption according to the decision parameters deemed necessary for good control of the active sludge ...

automatic road extraction from aerial images can be very helpful in traffic control and vehicle guidance systems. most of the road detection approaches are based on image segmentation algorithms. color-based segmentation is very sensitive to light changes and consequently the change of weather condition affects the recognition rate of road detection systems. in order to reduce the light change ...

estimation of parameters of a hydrologic model is undertaken using a procedure called “calibration” in order to obtain predictions as close as possible to observed values. this study aimed to use the particle swarm optimization (pso) algorithm for automatic calibration of the hec-hms hydrologic model, which includes a library of different event-based models for simulating the rainfall-runoff pr...

let $a$ be a banach algebra and $x$ be a banach $a$-bimodule. then ${mathcal{s}}=a oplus x$, the $l^1$-direct sum of $a$ and $x$ becomes a module extension banach algebra when equipped with the algebra product $(a,x).(a',x')=(aa',ax'+xa').$ in this paper, we investigate biflatness and biprojectivity for these banach algebras. we also discuss on automatic continuity of derivations on ${mathcal{s...

ultrasound imaging is a popular and noninvasive tool frequently used in the diagnoses of liver diseases. a system to characterize normal,fatty and heterogeneous liver, using textural analysis of liver ultrasound images, is proposed in this paper. the proposed approach isable to select the optimum regions of interest of the liver images. these optimum regions of interests are analyzed by two lev...
