Investigation of a Ba(0.5)Sr(0.5)Co(0.8)Fe(0.2)O3-delta based cathode IT-SOFC - I. The effect of CO2 on the cell performance
(2006)A Ba0.5Sr0.5Co0.08Fe0.2O3-delta (BSCF) based cathode intermediate temperature solid oxide fuel cell (IT-SOFC) was fabricated and tested. The effect of carbon dioxide on the performance of BSCF cathode was evaluated at ... -
Iterative Conversion of Cyclin Binding Groove Peptides into Drug like CDK Inhibitors with Antitumor Activity
(2015)The cyclin groove is an important recognition site for substrates of the cell cycle cyclin dependent kinases and provides an opportunity for highly selective inhibition of kinase activity through a non-ATP competitive ... -
Leakage detection in water pipe networks using a Bayesian probabilistic framework
(2003)A Bayesian system identification methodology is proposed for leakage detection in water pipe networks. The methodology properly handles the unavoidable uncertainties in measurement and modeling errors. Based on information ... -
Life-cycle cost analysis of design practices for RC framed structures
(2007)The objective of this study is to perform life-cycle cost analysis on three design practices namely weak ground storey, short and floating columns and their combinations. Life-cycle cost analysis is recognized as the only ... -
A linear model for the continuous network design problem
(2006)This article is concerned with the continuous network design problem on traffic networks, assuming system optimum traffic flow conditions and time-dependent demand. A linear programming formulation is introduced based on ... -
Mixed integer parametric bilevel programming for optimal strategic bidding of energy producers in day-ahead electricity markets with indivisibilities
(2013)We address the problem of finding the optimal bidding strategy of an energy producer that participates in a single-period day-ahead electricity market, assuming full knowledge of the market's parameters. The problem is ... -
A neural network approach for the solution of frictional contact problems with nonconvex superpotentials
(2002)A neural network approach is proposed for the numerical treatment of frictional contact problems. A nonmonotone friction law is assumed to describe the stick-slip process which leads to the formulation of a computational ... -
On Multicast Beamforming for Minimum Outage
(2009)The multicast beamforming problem is considered from the viewpoint of minimizing outage probability subject to a transmit power constraint. The main difference with the point-to-point transmit beamforming problem is that ... -
Optical Wireless Communications With Heterodyne Detection Over Turbulence Channels With Pointing Errors
(2009)We study the error performance of an heterodyne differential phase-shift keying (DPSK) optical wireless (OW) communication system operating under various intensity fluctuations conditions. Specifically, it is assumed that ... -
Pi 4U: A high performance computing framework for Bayesian uncertainty quantification of complex models
(2015)We present Pi 4U,(1) an extensible framework, for non-intrusive Bayesian Uncertainty Quantification and Propagation (UQ+P) of complex and computationally demanding physical models, that can exploit massively parallel ... -
Solvent Selection for Insoluble Ligands, a Challenge for Biological Assay Development: A TNF-alpha/SPD304 Study
(2013)Many active compounds may be excluded from biological assays due to their low aqueous solubility. In this study, a simple method for the determination of the solubility of compounds containing aromatic rings is proposed. ... -
The stochastic economic lot sizing problem for non-stop multi-grade production with sequence-restricted setup changeovers
(2013)We study a variant of the stochastic economic lot scheduling problem (SELSP) encountered in process industries, in which a single production facility must produce several different grades of a family of products to meet ... -
Stochastic Simulation and Management of an Over-Exploited Aquifer Using an Integrated Modeling System
(2015)A modeling system for the stochastic simulation and management of the overexploited groundwater resources of Lake Karla Basin in Central Greece is presented. The uncertainty of the hydrogeological environment which arises ... -
Structural model updating and prediction variability using Pareto optimal models
(2008)A multi-objective identification method for structural model updating based on modal residuals is presented. The method results in multiple Pareto optimal structural models that are consistent with the experimentally ... -
Using a HAP Network to Transfer WiMAX OFDM Signals: Outage Probability Analysis
(2013)Transferring wireless broadband services across extremely far distances on Earth is usually implemented nowadays either by ground-based or satellite communications. Terrestrial networks require, however, heavy installation ... -
Variability of updated finite element models and their predictions consistent with vibration measurements
(2012)A case study on a small-scale laboratory vehicle frame is used to investigate the variability of the updated finite element (FE) models that arises from model and measurement errors and demonstrate the effect of this ... -
WiMAX on FSO: Outage Probability Analysis
(2012)The transmission of multiple wireless signals over optical links has attained a great research interest nowadays. In case where optical fibers are difficult to be deployed, or installation cost is prohibited, optical ... -
X-TMCMC: Adaptive kriging for Bayesian inverse modeling
(2015)The Bayesian inference of models associated with large-scale simulations is prohibitively expensive even for massively parallel architectures. We demonstrate that we can drastically reduce this cost by combining adaptive ...
