There are many obstacles in the transport of chemotherapeutic drugs to tumor cells that lead to irregular and non-uniform uptake of drugs inside tumors. The study of these transport problems will help with accurate prediction of drug transport and optimizing treatment strategy. To this end, liposome mediated drug delivery has emerged as an excellent anticancer therapy due to its ability to deliver...
This paper presents a precise modelling of Short term Hydrothermal scheduling (HTS) problem in Mixed integer non-linear programming (MINLP) environment. The HTS problem is highly non-linear, non-convex problem with a vast size of multi-dimensional search space. In order to solve HTS in MINLP environment the branch and bound method is adopted to handle various operational and reliable limitations regarding...
Watersheds in hilly terrain are prone to severe erosion due to surface runoff, steep slopes and undulating topography. Kynshi watershed, situated in west Khasi Hills district of Meghalaya in India, is vulnerable to soil erosion due to heavy rainfall, its high elevation and undulating terrain. However, the area is covered with dense to moderate forest which may act as deterrent to erosion. This study...
This paper presents automatic generation control (AGC) of two and three unequal area hydrothermal systems. The thermal areas of the systems are equipped with single reheat turbine and hydro area is with electric governor. Appropriate Generation Rate Constraint (GRC) has been considered in each area. System dynamics has been obtained by considering 1% step load perturbation (SLP) in area1. Performances...
This paper investigates the implementation of output-delayed feedback control (ODFC) technique for controlling the sway angle of single pendulum gantry crane (SPGC) system. Linearized mathematical model of the SPGC in state space form is considered for the investigation. The designed ODFC has undergone complete stability analysis for a given controller gain.
This paper presents high performance computing results from applications of the CRAFT CFD® software to complex weapons bay configurations. Several flow control concepts have been developed based on past experience with smaller length-to-depth ratio (L/D) cavities with the intended application being a more complex and longer weapons bay. The goal in this paper is to document work done to build confidence...
The main idea proposed in this paper is that in a vertically aligned array of short carbon nanotubes (CNTs) grown on a metal substrate, we consider a frequency dependent electric field, so that the mode-specific propagation of phonons, in correspondence with the strained band structure and the dispersion curves, take place. We perform theoretical calculations to validate this idea with a view of optimizing...
