For studying spectral properties of a nonnormal matrix A is an element of Cnxn, information about its spectrum sigma(A) alone is usually not enough. Effects of perturbations on sigma(A) can be studied by computing epsilon-pseudospectra, i.e. the level sets ...
Direct simulation Monte-Carlo (DSMC) is the most established method for rarefied gas flow simulations. It is valid from continuum to near vacuum, but in cases involving small Knudsen numbers (Kn), it suffers from high computational cost. The Fokker-Planck ...
We conduct boundary element simulations of a contact problem consisting of an elastic medium subject to tangential load. Using a particle swarm optimization algorithm, we find the optimal shape and location of the micro-contacts to maximize for a given loa ...
This paper showcases the theoretical and numerical performance of the Sliding Frank-Wolfe, which is a novel optimization algorithm to solve the BLASSO sparse spikes super-resolution problem. The BLASSO is a continuous (i.e. off-the-grid or grid-less) count ...
Aim: There is a necessity for new drugs to be more efficient than today's standard due to the emergence of drug-resistant strains of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) Results/methodology: 12 new isoniazid-based adamantane derivatives were synthesized and te ...
Determining appropriate utility specifications for discrete choice models is time-consuming and prone to errors. As the number of possible functions exponentially grows with the variables under consideration, analysts need to spend increasing amounts of ti ...
This paper examines methods to reduce the detent force and electromagnetic force in a short-stroke vibration tubular generator used to harvest energy from a vehicle suspension system but still achieve the design targets of power and power density. A well-k ...
A computational study of the electromechanical response of micro-structure engineered two port surface acoustic wave delay lines on gallium arsenide is presented. The influence on the results of geometrical, material, and mesh parameters is also discussed. ...
Herein, we report the synthesis of a series of push-pull imines by considering cyclic diamino substituent at the C-centre and fluoroaryl substituent at the N-centre. This has been achieved by a selective aromatic nucleophilic substitution of different fluo ...
In this paper, we consider a system consisting of multiple floating robotic modules performing self-assembly. Faithfully modeling such a system and its inter-module interactions typically involves capturing the hydrodynamic forces acting on the modules usi ...
