Optimization of p-chart for Processes with Multiple Assignable Causes and Random Shift
(2020-05)Attribute control charts are used extensively in many industries to detect assignable causes for many processes. They are particularly useful in the service industries due to difficulty of evaluating services using variable ... -
Optimization Of Smart Composite Panels For Enhanced Ballistic Performance
(2022-05)Composite materials offer a unique combination of properties from lightweight and high strength to long-term durability and cost-effectiveness that opens the field for their application in different industries. However, ... -
Optimization of Support Structures for Offshore Wind Turbines using Genetic Algorithm with Domain-Trimming (GADT)
(Hindawi, 2017-08-08)The powerful genetic algorithm optimization technique is augmented with an innovative “domain-trimming” modification. The resulting adaptive, high-performance technique is called Genetic Algorithm with Domain-Trimming ... -
Optimization of Vapor Compression Refrigeration Cycles with Clathrate Hydrates Thermal Energy Storage
(2021-12)This thesis presents detailed modelling and analysis of different refrigeration systems as well as cold thermal energy storage systems (CTES) using clathrate hydrates. The Engineering Equation Solver (EES) was used to model ... -
Optimized frequency-based foundation design for wind turbine towers utilizing soil-structure interaction
(2013-09)This study illustrates design optimization for multiple wind towers located at different villages in Alaska. The towers are supported by two different types of foundations: large mat or deep piles foundations. Initially, ... -
Optimizing Energy Consumption of Cloud Computing IaaS
(2017-05)Cloud computing infrastructures are designed to support the accessibility and availability of various services to consumers over the Internet. Datacenters hosting Cloud applications consume massive amounts of power, ... -
Optimizing the Energy Production for a Photovoltaic Thermal (PVT) Water System
(2022-05)The maximum exploitation of solar energy can be achieved through the optimization of a photo-voltaic thermal (PVT) system. In the PVT system, the (PV) module is cooled down by a water-based thermal collector, and as a ... -
Optimizing the use of ultrasound to deliver chemotherapeutic agents to cancer cells from polymeric micelles
(Elsevier, 2011)In this study, we present an artificial neural network (ANN) model that attempts to predict the dynamic release of doxorubicin (Dox) from P105 micelles under different ultrasonic power densities at 20 kHz. The goal is to ... -
Optimum ethane recovery in conventional turboexpander process
(Elsevier, 2010)Ethane recovery in a conventional turboexpander process is optimized considering different demethanizer pressures and different feeds: a lean gas and a rich one. The design variables are varied, while meeting process ... -
Optimum seismic design of unbonded post-tensioned precast concrete walls using ANN
(2014-04)Precast Seismic Structural Systems (PRESSS) provided an iterative procedure for obtaining optimum design of unbonded post-tensioned coupled precast concrete wall systems. Although PRESSS procedure is effective, however, ... -
Optimum sizing of steam turbines for concentrated solar power plants
(2012)In this work, a selection of the optimum steam turbine type and size for integration in concentrated solar power (CSP) plants is carried out. In particular, the optimum steam turbine input and output interfaces for a ... -
Option convergence rate with geometric random walks approximations
(Taylor & Frances Online, 2016)We describe a broad setting under which, for European options, if the underlying asset form a geometric random walk then, the error with respect to the Black–Scholes model converges to zero at a speed of 1/𝑛 for continuous ... -
