inclination and the best crack angle when K is minimal.
Abstract: We consider the problem of placing labels of the points
on a plane. For each point, its position, the size of its label and a
priority are given. Moreover, several candidates of its label positions
are prespecified, and each of such label positions is assigned a
priority. The objective of our problem is to maximize the total sum
of priorities of placed labels and their points. By refining a labeling
algorithm that can use these priorities, we propose a new heuristic
algorithm which is more suitable for treating the assigned priorities.
Abstract: Cesiumiodide with Na doping (CsI(Na)) solution or melt is easily forming three- dimension dendrites on the free surface. The defects or bobbles form inside the CsI(Na) during the solution or melt solidification. The defects or bobbles can further effect the x-ray path in the CsI(Na) crystal and decrease the scintillation characteristics of CsI(Na). In order to enhance the CsI(Na) scintillated property we made single crystal of CsI(Na) column in the anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) template by hydraulic pressure injection method. It is interesting that when CsI(Na) melt is confined in the small AAO channels, the column grow as stable single column without any dendrites. The high aspect ratio (100~10000) of AAO and nano to sub-micron channel structure which is a suitable template for single of crystal CsI(Na) formation. In this work, a new low-cost approach to fabricate scintillator crystals using anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) rather than Si is reported, which can produce scintillator crystals with a wide range of controllable size to optimize their performance in X-ray detection.
Abstract: The present analysis considers the steady stagnation point flow and heat transfer towards a permeable shrinking sheet in an upper-convected Maxwell (UCM) electrically conducting fluid, with a constant magnetic field applied in the transverse direction to flow and a local heat generation within the boundary layer, with a heat generation rate proportional to (T-T)p Using a similarity transformation, the governing system of partial differential equations is first transformed into a system of ordinary differential equations, which is then solved numerically using a finite-difference scheme known as the Keller-box method. Numerical results are obtained for the flow and thermal fields for various values of the stretching/shrinking parameter λ, the magnetic parameter M, the elastic parameter K, the Prandtl number Pr, the suction parameter s, the heat generation parameter Q, and the exponent p. The results indicate the existence of dual solutions for the shrinking sheet up to a critical value λc whose value depends on the value of M, K, and s. In the presence of internal heat absorption (Q
Abstract: When we prefer to make the data secure from various attacks and fore integrity of data, we must encrypt the data before it is transmitted or stored. This paper introduces a new effective and lossless image encryption algorithm using a natural logarithmic function. The new algorithm encrypts an image through a three stage process. In the first stage, a reference natural logarithmic function is generated as the foundation for the encryption image. The image numeral matrix is then analyzed to five integer numbers, and then the numbers’ positions are transformed to matrices. The advantages of this method is useful for efficiently encrypting a variety of digital images, such as binary images, gray images, and RGB images without any quality loss. The principles of the presented scheme could be applied to provide complexity and then security for a variety of data systems such as image and others.
Abstract: In this short paper, new properties of transition matrix were introduced. Eigen values for small order transition matrices are calculated in flexible method. For benefit of these properties applications of these properties were studied in the solution of Markov's chain via steady state vector, and information theory via channel entropy. The implemented test examples were promised for usages.
Abstract: In this paper, the steady laminar three-dimensional boundary layer flow and heat transfer of a copper (Cu)-water nanofluid in the vicinity of a permeable shrinking flat surface in an otherwise quiescent fluid is studied. The nanofluid mathematical model in which the effect of the nanoparticle volume fraction is taken into account is considered. The governing nonlinear partial differential equations are transformed into a system of nonlinear ordinary differential equations using a similarity transformation which is then solved numerically using the function bvp4c from Matlab. Dual solutions (upper and lower branch solutions) are found for the similarity boundary layer equations for a certain range of the suction parameter. A stability analysis has been performed to show which branch solutions are stable and physically realizable. The numerical results for the skin friction coefficient and the local Nusselt number as well as the velocity and temperature profiles are obtained, presented and discussed in detail for a range of various governing parameters.
Abstract: In this paper, we forecast the volatility of Baht/USDs using Markov Regime Switching GARCH (MRS-GARCH) models. These models allow volatility to have different dynamics according to unobserved regime variables. The main purpose of this paper is to find out whether MRS-GARCH models are an improvement on the GARCH type models in terms of modeling and forecasting Baht/USD volatility. The MRS-GARCH is the best performance model for Baht/USD volatility in short term but the GARCH model is best perform for long term.
Abstract: This paper discuss a coupling strategy of two different
software packages to provide fluid structure interaction (FSI) analysis.
The basic idea is to combine the advantages of the two codes
to create a powerful FSI solver for two and three dimensional
analysis. The fluid part is computed by a program called PETSc-FEM
a software developed at Centro de Investigaci´on de M´etodos
Computacionales –CIMEC. The structural part of the coupled process
is computed by the research code elementary Parallel Solver –
(ELPASO) of the Technische Universit¨at Braunschweig, Institut f¨ur
Konstruktionstechnik (IK).
Abstract: Theiterative scheme which is used to treat buildup factors for stratified shields is being investigated here using the layer-splitting technique.A simple suggested formalism for the scheme based on the Kalos’ formula is introduced, based on which the implementation of the testing technique is carried out.
The second layer in a double-layer shield was split into two equivalent layers and the scheme (with the suggested formalism) was implemented on the new “three-layer” shieldconfiguration.The results of such manipulation on water-lead and water-iron shields combinations are presented here for 1MeV photons.
It was found that splitting the second layer introduces some deviation on the overall buildup factor value. This expected deviation appeared to be higher in the case of low Z layer followed by high Z. However, the overall performance of the iterative scheme showed a great consistency and strong coherence even with the introduced changes. The introduced layer-splitting testing technique shows the capability to be implemented in test the iterative scheme with a wide range of formalisms.
Abstract: This paper considers the NP-hard problem of reconstructing binary matrices satisfying exactly-1-4-adjacency constraint from its row and column projections. This problem is formulated into a maximization problem. The objective function gives a measure of adjacency constraint for the binary matrices. The maximization problem is solved by the simulated annealing algorithm and experimental results are presented.
Abstract: In this paper, the problem of unsteady stagnation-point flow and heat transfer induced by a shrinking sheet in the presence of radiation effect is studied. The transformed boundary layer equations are solved numerically by the shooting method. The influence of radiation, unsteadiness and shrinking parameters, and the Prandtl number on the reduced skin friction coefficient and the heat transfer coefficient, as well as the velocity and temperature profiles are presented and discussed in detail. It is found that dual solutions exist and the temperature distribution becomes less significant with radiation parameter.
Abstract: In this paper we study mathematically the eigenvalue
problem for stochastic elliptic partial differential equation of Wick
type. Using the Wick-product and the Wiener-Itô chaos expansion,
the stochastic eigenvalue problem is reformulated as a system of an
eigenvalue problem for a deterministic partial differential equation
and elliptic partial differential equations by using the Fredholm
alternative. To reduce the computational complexity of this system,
we shall use a decomposition method using the Wiener-Itô chaos
expansion. Once the approximation of the solution is performed using
the finite element method for example, the statistics of the numerical
solution can be easily evaluated.

Abstract: An appropriate model to predict the size of the droplets
resulting from the break-up with the structures will help in a better
understanding and modeling of the two-phase flow calculations in the
simulation of a reactor core loss-of-coolant accident (LOCA). A
droplet behavior impacting on a hot surface above the Leidenfrost
temperature was investigated. Droplets of known size and velocity
were impacted to an inclined plate of hot temperature, and the
behavior of the droplets was observed by a high-speed camera. It was
found that for droplets of Weber number higher than a certain value,
the higher the Weber number of the droplet the smaller the secondary
droplets. The COBRA-TF model over-predicted the measured
secondary droplet sizes obtained by the present experiment. A simple
model for the secondary droplet size was proposed using the mass
conservation equation. The maximum spreading diameter of the
droplets was also compared to previous correlations and a fairly good
agreement was found. A better prediction of the heat transfer in the
case of LOCA can be obtained with the presented model.
Abstract: Transient plane source method has been used to
measure the thermal diffusivity and thermal conductivity of a compact
isostatic electroceramics at room temperature. The samples were fired
at temperatures from 100 up to 1320 degrees Celsius in steps of
50. Bulk density and specific heat capacity were also measured with
their corresponding standard uncertainties. The results were compared
with further thermal analysis (dilatometry and thermogravimetry).
Structural processes during firing were discussed.
Abstract: Implicit in most large-scale numerical analyses of the crystal growth from the melt is the assumption that the shape and position of the phase boundary are determined by the transport phenomena coupled strongly to the melt hydrodynamics. In the present numerical study, the interface shape-effect on the convective interactions in a Czochralski oxide melt is described. It was demonstrated that thermocapillary flow affects inversely the phase boundaries of distinct shapes. The inhomogenity of heat flux and the location of the stagnation point at the crystallization front were investigated. The forced convection effect on the point displacement at the boundary found to be much stronger for the flat plate interface compared to the cone-shaped one with and without the Marangoni flow.
Abstract: We have built universal central pattern generator (CPG) hardware by interconnecting Hodgkin-Huxley neurons with reciprocally inhibitory synapses. We investigate the dynamics of neuron oscillations as a function of the time delay between current steps applied to individual neurons. We demonstrate stimulus dependent switching between spiking polyrhythms and map the phase portraits of the neuron oscillations to reveal the basins of attraction of the system. We experimentally study the dependence of the attraction basins on the network parameters: The neuron response time and the strength of inhibitory connections.
