Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSome Proposed Solutions to Achieve Nuclear FusionRelly Victoria Virgil Petrescu, Aversa Raffaella, Samuel Kozaitis et al.Despite research carried out around the world since the 1950s, no industrial application of fusion to energy production has yet succeeded, apart from nuclear weapons with the H-bomb, since this application does not aims at containing and controlling the reaction produced. There are, however, some other less mediated uses, such as neutron generators. The fusion of light nuclei releases enormous … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 3 · 20 Jul 2017 · 8,836 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractQuadrotor Obstacle Avoidance Based on Integral BacksteppingLianchuan Zhang, Young Baik Kim, Kil To ChongThis paper addressed obstacle avoidance problem of a quadrotor in outdoor environment. Path planning was finished by employing classical Dijkstra algorithm and the controller of the quadrotor adopted integral backstepping method. In order to get a smooth trajectory with time optimal and acceleration constraints properties, quantic polynomials were utilized to generate trajectory file. The scheme is particularly practical and useful … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 7 · 27 Jul 2016 · 6,981 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA ROBUST OPTIMIZATION APPROACH FOR INDEX TRACKING PROBLEMMohsen Gharakhani, Forough Zarea Fazlelahi, S. J. SadjadiIndex tracking is an investment approach where the primary objective is to keep portfolio return as close as possible to a target index without purchasing all index components. The main purpose is to minimize the tracking error between the returns of the selected portfolio and a benchmark. In this study, quadratic as well as linear models are presented for minimizing … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 10, Issue 12 · 26 Dec 2014 · 8,872 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAN ALGORITHM FOR MINING USABLE RULES USING A HOLISTIC SWARM BASED APPROACHVeenu Mangat, Renu VigEvolutionary algorithms are capable of finding near optimal solutions to problems which are intractable to solve using conventional methods. One such problem is to accurately classify patients using rule mining methodology while controlling the size of output rules. A massive amount of data pertaining to medicine is generated and recorded daily. Uncovering useful knowledge and assisting decision makers in the … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 10, Issue 4 · 9 Dec 2013 · 6,667 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAdaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System-Particle Swarm Optimization Based Stability Maintenance of Power System NetworksR. Latha, J. KanakarajDuring faulty condition voltage instability is one of the major crisis in power system networks. This study proposes a hybrid learning algorithm to improve the stability performance of a power system with Distributed Generations (DGs). Here the distribution system stability is maintained with reduced power loss using an Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference Systems (ANFIS) and Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) techniques. In … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 8 · 24 Jul 2013 · 6,906 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSurvival and Changes in Germination Response of Rumex obtusifolius Polygonum longisetum and Oenothera biennis during Burial at Three Soil DepthsShiro TsuyuzakiTo investigate patterns in seed germination and survival at three different soil depths over a long time span, seeds of Rumex obtusifolius, Polygonum longisetum and Oenothera biennis were examined as a function of season (spring, autumn) and soil depth (3, 10, 30 cm). Buried seeds were exhumed after 3 years and subjected to two different temperature treatments. These were gradually … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2006 · 7,194 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMathematical Modeling of Wastewater Oxidation under Microgravity ConditionsBoyun Guo, Donald W. Holder, David S. SchechterVolatile removal assembly (VRA) is a module installed in the International Space Station for removing contaminants (volatile organics) in the wastewater produced by the crew. The VRA contains a slim pack bed reactor to perform catalyst oxidation of the wastewater at elevated pressure and temperature under microgravity conditions. Optimal design of the reactor requires a thorough understanding about how the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2005 · 6,888 accessesView PDFCite
