Thermal and mechanical assessments of the 3D-printed conformal cooling channels : computational analysis and multi-objective optimization by Shen, Suping, Kanbur, Baris Burak, Zhou, Yi, Duan, Fei

“…As for the circular channel, the coolant temperature, volume flow rate, and channel diameter are selected as the parameters within the ranges of 288.0-298.0 K, 1.0-10.0 L/min, and 2.1-2.5 mm, respectively. According to these parameters, the multi-objective optimization study is performed and the best trade-off point is found at the channel diameter of 2.5 mm, coolant temperature of 297 K, and the flow rate of 1 L/min when all the objectives have equal weights in the optimization problem.…”

Numerical methods for finite-size key rates with different entropic bounds in quantum key distribution by Chung, Rebecca Ru Byn

“…Following the ideas of Dupuis, we also formulated a generalized alpha-Renyi entropic bound on the secret key rate under i.i.d. collective attack, and showed regions of improvement from the conventional approach of using the smooth min-entropy. In particular, we proposed a generalized optimization method for the Renyi entropy for alpha = (1,2] and the min-entropy by adapting from Winick et al.'…”

Simulation and investigation of Gradient Refractive Index Profile (GRIP) and photonic effect in micro-fluidic waveguide of different geometries by Zhang, Ruiyang

“…With the aid of professional software COMSOL’s Microfuildic model and RSoft’s beamprop module by designing liquid core and liquid cladding waveguides of different shapes including rectangle ,up-trapezoid, down-trapezoid, para-saddle and para-rhombus and injecting deionized water with refractive index of 1.335 into liquid core and 5M CaCl2 solution into liquid core at from 1ul/ min to 15 ul / min , the GRIN profiles and optical effects like chirped focusing and interference vary accordingly .The purpose of the study is to find the pattern of how the GRIN profile and optical effects change with the composition ,flow rate and shape.…”

Multi-valued logic synthesis for Resistive Random Access Memory (RERAM) based in-memory computing by Surhonne Anmol Prakash

“…The synthesis of multivalued functions consists of bi-decomposition or functional decomposition of the given target function to obtain a multilevel network comprising of MIN and MAX gates. Synthesis tools, such as YADE and those based on Multi-valued decision diagrams make the implicit assumption regarding the availability of literals or CASE operator, while focusing on the optimization of the logic network solely based on the MIN and MAX gates. …”
