Increasing of net energy storage (Q net) and discharge time of phase change material (t PCM), simultaneously, are important purpose in the design of solar systems. In the present paper, Multi-Objective (MO) based on hybrid of Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) and multiple crossover and mutation operator is used for Pareto based optimization of solar systems. The conflicting objectives are Q net...

Using the periodic unfolding method we construct the homogenization theory for the quasistatic initial boundary value problems with internal variables, which model the deformation behavior of viscoplastic materials with a periodic microstructure. The free energy associated with models is assumed to be positive semi-definite only.

We present novel results that relate energy and information transfer with sensitivity to initial conditions in chaotic multi-dimensional Hamiltonian systems. We show the relation among Kolmogorov-Sinai entropy, Lyapunov exponents, and upper bounds for the Mutual Information Rate calculated in the Hamiltonian phase space and on bi-dimensional subspaces. Our main result is that the net amount of ...

For any simple connected undirected graph, it is well known that the Kirchhoff and multiplicative degree-Kirchhoff indices can be computed using the Laplacian matrix. We show that the same is true for the additive degree-Kirchhoff index and give a compact Matlab program that computes all three Kirchhoffian indices with the Laplacian matrix as the only input.

In this paper an estimator for speech enhancement based on Laplacian Mixture Model has been proposed. The proposed method, estimates the complex DFT coefficients of clean speech from noisy speech using the MMSE  estimator, when the clean speech DFT coefficients are supposed mixture of Laplacians and the DFT coefficients of  noise are assumed zero-mean Gaussian distribution. Furthermore, the MMS...

It is often claimed that marine renewable energy alone could meet the electricity demand of current and future human societies. However, such claims are based on highly uncertain estimations global potentials sources (including tidal, ocean currents, wave, offshore wind salinity thermal gradients), do not take into account embedded technologies. To better understand effective potential energy, ...
