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.'…”

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. …”

Pulsed-laser-ablated gold-nanoparticles saturable absorber for mode-locked erbium-doped fiber lasers by Noor Zirwatul Ahlam, Naharuddin, M. H., Abu Bakar, Sadrolhosseini, Amir Reza, N., Tamchek, Alresheedi, Mohammed Thamer, Abas, A. F., Mohd Adzir, Mahdi

“…The resulting nanocomposite was deposited on the tapered region of a microfiber with a spin-coating method. The proposed Au-NPs SA recorded a modulation depth of 0.4% and low saturation intensity of 0.1 MW/cm2 leading to stable mode-locking operation in the erbium-doped fiber laser cavity at a low threshold pump power of about 45.6 mW. …”
