Efficient aerodynamic shape optimization of transonic wings using a parallel infilling strategy and surrogate models

Surrogate models are used to dramatically improve the design efficiency of numerical aerodynamic shape optimization, where high-fidelity, expensive computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is often employed. Traditionally, in adaptation, only one single sample point is chosen to update the surrogate model during each updating cycle, after the initial surrogate model is built. To enable the selection of multiple new samples at each updating cycle, a few parallel infilling strategies have been developed in recent years, in order to reduce the optimization wall clock time. In this article, an alternative parallel infilling strategy for surrogate-based constrained optimization is presented and demonstrated by the aerodynamic shape optimization of transonic wings. Different from existing methods in which multiple sample points are chosen by a single infill criterion, this article uses a combination of multiple infill criteria, with each criterion choosing a different sample point. Constrained drag minimizations of the ONERA-M6 and DLR-F4 wings are exercised to demonstrate the proposed method, including low-dimensional (6 design variables) and higher-dimensional problems (up to 48 design variables). The results show that, for surrogate-based optimization of transonic wings, the proposed method is more effective than the existing parallel infilling strategies, when the number of initial sample points are in the range from N _v to 8N _v (N _v here denotes the number of design variables). Each case is repeated 50 times to eliminate the effect of randomness in our results.     

Quantum hydrodynamic simulation of discrete-dopant fluctuated physical quantities in nanoscale FinFET

Impact of the discrete dopants on device performance is crucial in determining the behavior of nanoscale semiconductor devices. Atomistic quantum mechanical device simulation for studying the effect of discrete dopants on device's physical quantities is urgent. This work explores the physics of discrete-dopant-induced characteristic fluctuations in 16-nm fin-typed field effect transistor (FinFET) devices. Discrete dopants are statistically positioned in the three-dimensional channel region to examine associated carrier's characteristic, concurrently capturing “dopant concentration variation” and “dopant position fluctuation”. An experimentally validated quantum hydrodynamic device simulation was conducted to investigate the potential profile and threshold voltage fluctuations of the 16-nm FinFET. Results of this study provide further insight into the problem of fluctuation and the mechanism of immunity against fluctuation in 16-nm devices.     

Supporting early pruning in top-k query processing on massive data

This paper analyzes the execution behavior of “No Random Accesses” (NRA) and determines the depths to which each sorted file is scanned in growing phase and shrinking phase of NRA respectively. The analysis shows that NRA needs to maintain a large quantity of candidate tuples in growing phase on massive data. Based on the analysis, this paper proposes a novel top-k algorithm Top-K with Early Pruning (TKEP) which performs early pruning in growing phase. General rule and mathematical analysis for early pruning are presented in this paper. The theoretical analysis shows that early pruning can prune most of the candidate tuples. Although TKEP is an approximate method to obtain the top-k result, the probability for correctness is extremely high. Extensive experiments show that TKEP has a significant advantage over NRA.     

Relative importance,specific investment and ownership in interorganizational systems

Implementation and maintenance of interorganizational systems (IOS) require investments by all the participating firms. Compared with intraorganizational systems, however, there are additional uncertainties and risks. This is because the benefits of IOS investment depend not only on a firm’s own decisions, but also on those of its business partners. Without appropriate levels of investment by all the firms participating in an IOS, they cannot reap the full benefits. Drawing upon the literature in institutional economics, we examine IOS ownership as a means to induce value-maximizing noncontractible investments. We model the impact of two factors derived from the theory of incomplete contracts and transaction cost economics: relative importance of investments and specificity of investments. We apply the model to a vendor-managed inventory system (VMI) in a supply chain setting. We show that when the specificity of investments is high, this is a more critical determinant of optimal ownership structure than the relative importance of investments. As technologies used in IOS become increasingly redeployable and reusable, and less specific, the relative importance of investments becomes a dominant factor. We also show that the bargaining mechanism—or the agreed upon approach to splitting the incremental payoffs—that is used affects the relationship between these factors in determining the optimal ownership structure of an IOS.

Physiological and psychophysical responses in handling maximum acceptable weights under different footwear--floor friction conditions

A study on combined manual materials-handling tasks performed on floors under three friction levels was conducted. Eight male subjects participated in the study. The maximum acceptable weight of handling, including lifting, carrying for 3m, lowering, and walking 3m back at twice per minute was determined. The subject then performed the same tasks for 10 min. Heart rate, Vo2, energy efficiency, perceived sense of slip, and rating of perceived exertion for whole body strain were measured. The results showed that the effects of friction level on the maximum acceptable weights of handling, perceived sense of slip, Vo2, and energy efficiency were statistically significant (p相似文献
