1. EXTRAWING EXTRAWING is a research and development project, started in February 2010, for novel and attractive representations of results of geophysical and environmental fluid simulations and effective transmission of those results to the general public. The name "EXTRAWING" is a coined acronym consisting of the initial letters of the following words: EXploring and TRAveling the World INside...

The development of a telecommunications infrastructure is underway in both the developing and developed nations. The challenges of the development of a national telecommunications infrastructure for developing economies differ significantly from the developed economies. This study provides an analysis of the telecommunications infrastructure development process in Thailand. It does this by exam...

Nowadays, piezoelectric materials have wide applications in various industries. Therefore, investigation of these materials and their applications has a special importance. In this paper first, the natural frequencies of a traveling-wave piezoelectric motor are achieved, using finite elements simulations. Then, applying an alternative electrical voltage to the piezoelectric ring, a traveling wa...

the multiple traveling salesman problem (mtsp) is a generalization of the famous traveling salesman problem (tsp), where more than one salesman is used in the solution. although the mtsp is a typical kind of computationally complex combinatorial optimization problem, it can be extended to a wide variety of routing problems. this paper presents an efficient and evolutionary optimization algorith...

the homogeneous balance method can be used to construct exact traveling wave solutions of nonlinear partial differential equations. in this paper, this method is used to construct newsoliton solutions of the (3+1) jimbo--miwa equation.

In this paper, we ask “Can proximity to towns reduces poverty in rural areas?” For this study we have mapped all the villages in Orissa. The study is based on small area poverty estimation methodology as well as the secondary data covering 47,395 villages and 109 towns. Our main findings are (i) there is a relationship between the distance to nearest town and rural poverty and (ii) poverty leve...

The main scope of this work is the automation of the extraction procedure of the external quality factors Qext of Higher Order Modes (HOMs) in Superconducting (SC) radio frequency (RF) cavities. The HOMs are generated by charged particle beams traveling through a SC cavity at the speed of light (β ≈ 1). The HOMs decay very slowly, depending on localization inside the structure and cell-to-cell ...

In 2003, Mogilner and Verzi proposed a one-dimensional model on the crawling movement of a nematode sperm cell. Under certain conditions, the model can be reduced to a moving boundary problem for a single equation involving the length density of the bundled filaments inside the cell. It follows from the results of Choi, Lee and Lui (2004) that this simpler model possesses traveling cell solutio...

In today’s competitive transportation systems, passengers search to find traveling agencies that are able to serve them efficiently considering both traveling time and transportation costs. In this paper, we present a new model for the traveling salesman problem with multiple transporters (TSPMT). In the proposed model, which is more applicable than the traditional versions, each city has diffe...
