This paper proposes an efficient parallel algorithm for computing Lagrange interpolation on k-ary n-cube networks. This is done using the fact that a k-ary n-cube can be decomposed into n link-disjoint Hamiltonian cycles. Using these n link-disjoint cycles, we interpolate Lagrange polynomial using full bandwidth of the employed network. Communication in the
main phase of the algorithm is based on an all-to-all broadcast algorithm on the n link-disjoint Hamiltonian cycles exploiting all network channels, and thus, resulting in high-efficiency in using network
resources. A performance evaluation of the proposed algorithm reveals an optimum speedup for a typical range of system parameters
used in current state-of-the-art implementations.
A novel voltammetric sensor based on chemically modified bentonite–porphyrin carbon paste electrode (MBPCE) has been introduced for the determination of trace amount of Mn(II) in wheat flour, wheat rice and vegetables. In this method Mn(II) gives well-defined voltammetric peak at the pH range of 3.5–7.5. For the preliminary screening purpose, the catalyst was prepared by modification of bentonite with porphyrin and characterized by thermogravimetric method (TG) and UV–vis spectroscopy. The detection limit (three times signal-to-noise) with 4 min accumulation is 1.07 × 10−7 mol L−1 Mn(II). The peak currents increases linearly with Mn(II) concentration over the range of 6.0 × 10−7 to 5.0 × 10−4 mol L−1 (r2 = 0.9959). Statistical treatment of the results gave a relative standard deviation lower than 2.30%. The chemical and instrumental parameters have been optimized and the results showed that 1000-fold excess of the additive ions had not interferences on the determination of Mn(II). 相似文献
This paper introduces a Transimpedance Amplifier (TIA) design capable of producing an incremental input resistance in the ohmic range, for input signals in the microampere range, such as are encountered in the design of instrumentation for electrochemical ampero-metric sensors, optical-sensing and current-mode circuits. This low input-resistance is achieved using an input stage incorporating negative feedback. In a Cadence simulation of an exemplary design using a 180 nm CMOS process and operating with?±?1.8 V supply rails, the input resistance is 1.05 ohms and the power dissipation is 93.6 µW. The bandwidth, for a gain of 100 dBohm, exceeded 9 MHz. For a 1µA, 1 MHz sinusoidal input signal the Total Harmonic Distortion, with this gain, is less than 1%. The input referred noise current with zero photodiode capacitance is 2.09 pA/√Hz and with a photodiode capacitance of 2pF is 8.52 pA/√Hz. Graphical data is presented to show the effect of a photodiode capacitance varying from 0.5 to 2 pF, when the TIA is used in optical sensing. In summary, the required very low input resistance, at a low input current level (µA) is achieved and furthermore a Table is included comparing the characteristics and a widely used Figure of Merit (FOM) for the proposed TIA and similar published low-power TIAs. It is apparent from the Table that the FOM of the proposed TIA is better than the FOMs of the other TIAs mentioned.
The keys factor in making wind power one of the main power sources to meet the world’s growing energy demands
is the reliability improvement of wind turbines (WTs). However, the eventuality of fault occurrence on WT com
ponents cannot be avoided, especially for doubly-fed induction generator (DFIG) based WTs, which are operating
in severe environments. The maintenance need increases due to unexpected faults, which in turn leads to higher
operating cost and poor reliability. Extensive investigation into DFIG internal fault detection techniques has been
carried out in the last decade. This paper presents a detailed review of these techniques. It discusses the methods that
can be used to detect internal electrical faults in a DFIG stator, rotor, or both. A novel sorting technique is presented
which takes into consideration different parameters such as fault location, detection technique, and DFIG modelling.
The main mathematical representation used to detect these faults is presented to allow an easier and faster under
standing of each method. In addition, a comparison is carried out in every section to illustrate the main differences,
advantages, and disadvantages of every method and/or model. Some real monitoring systems available in the market
are presented. Finally, recommendations for the challenges, future work, and main gaps in the field of internal faults
in a DFIG are presented. This review is organized in a tutorial manner, to be an effective guide for future research for
enhancing the reliability of DFIG-based WTs. 相似文献
The study of critical infrastructure systems organization and behavior has drawn great attention in the recent years. This
is in part due to their great influence on the ordinary life of every citizen. In this paper, we study critical infrastructures’
characteristics and propose a reference model based on the Unified Modeling Language (UML). This reference model attempts
to provide suitable means for the task of modeling an infrastructure system through offering five major metamodels. We introduce
each of these metamodels and explain how it is possible to integrate them into a unique representation to characterize various
aspects of an infrastructure system. Based on the metamodels of UML-CI, infrastructure system knowledge bases can be built
to aid the process of infrastructure system modeling, profiling, and management. 相似文献
In this research, two novel methods for simultaneous identification of mass–damping–stiffness of shear buildings are proposed. The first method presents a procedure to estimate the natural frequencies, modal damping ratios, and modal shapes of shear buildings from their forced vibration responses. To estimate the coefficient matrices of a state-space model, an auto-regressive exogenous excitation (ARX) model cooperating with a neural network concept is employed. The modal parameters of the structure are then evaluated from the eigenparameters of the coefficient matrix of the model. Finally, modal parameters are used to identify the physical/structural (i.e., mass, damping, and stiffness) matrices of the structure. In the second method, a direct strategy of physical/structural identification is developed from the dynamic responses of the structure without any eigenvalue analysis or optimization processes that are usually necessary in inverse problems. This method modifies the governing equations of motion based on relative responses of consecutive stories such that the new set of equations can be implemented in a cluster of artificial neural networks. The number of neural networks is equal to the number of degree-of-freedom of the structure. It is shown the noise effects may partially be eliminated by using high-order finite impulse response (FIR) filters in both methods. Finally, the feasibility and accuracy of the presented model updating methods are examined through numerical studies on multistory shear buildings using the simulated records with various noise levels. The excellent agreement of the obtained results with those of the finite element models shows the feasibility of the proposed methods. 相似文献
The liquid-liquid equilibrium of polyethylene glycol dimethyl ether 2000 (PEGDME2000)+K2HPO4+H2O system has been determined experimentally at T=(298.15,303.15,308.15 and 318.15) K. The liquid-solid and complete phase diagram of this system was also obtained at T=(298.15 and 308.15) K. A nonlinear temperature dependent equation was successfully used for the correlation of the experimental binodal data. Furthermore, a temperature dependent Setschenow-type equation was successfully used for the correlation of the tie-lines of the studied system. Moreover, the effect of temperature on the binodal curves and the tie-lines for the investigated aqueous two-phase system have been studied. Also, the free energies of cloud points for this system and some previously studied systems containing PEGDME2000 were calculated from which it was concluded that the increase of the entropy is the driving force for formation of aqueous two-phase systems. Additionally, the calculated free energies for phase separation of the studied systems were used to investigate the salting-out ability of the salts having different anions. Furthermore, the complete phase diagram of the investigated system was compared with the corresponding phase diagrams of previously studied systems, in which the PEGDME2000 has been used, in order to obtain some information regarding the phase behavior of these PEGDME2000+salt+water systems. 相似文献
In this research multi-stage supply chain system which is controlled by kanban system, is evaluated. In kanban system, decision making is based on determination of the number of kanbans as well as batch sizes. This paper attempts to model supply chain system with regard to costs under just-in-time (JIT) production philosophy. Since adopted model is of mixed integer non-linear programming (MINLP) type and solving it by exact algorithm such as branch and bound (B&B) takes a lot of time, a heuristic method via Memetic algorithm (MA) is presented. Some problems are solved by our proposed MA to illustrate its performance. 相似文献
