Optimization Material Distribution methodology: Some electromagnetic examples

In this paper, a new approach towards Optimization Material Distribution (OMD) is proposed. The principle behind this approach is to use a surface genetic algorithm to determine material distribution within a fixed Finite Element Computation mesh…

Protocadherin-PC promotes androgen-independent prostate cancer cell growth.

BACKGROUND: Protocadherin-PC (PCDH-PC) expression is upregulated in apoptosis-resistant sublines of the LNCaP human prostate cancer (CaP) cell line. Here, we assess the role of PCDH-PC in CaP cells and its mRNA expression in human prostate tissues…

Jeux différentiels LQ de Stackelberg avec une pondération temporelle commune

Dans cet article, les jeux différentiels Linéaires-Quadratiques dont les critères possédent une pondération temporelle sous forme exponentielle sont étudiés avec une stratégie de Stackelberg (c'est-à-dire utilisant une hiérarchie entre les joueurs)…

Simulation of electricity supply of an Atlantic island by offshore wind turbines and wave energy converters associated with a medium scale local energy storage

The problem of sizing an electricity storage for a 5000 inhabitants island supplied by both marine renewables (offshore wind and waves) and the mainland grid is addressed by a case study based on a full year resource and consumption data. Generators…

A Block Turbo Phase Synchronization Scheme

This letter presents an original phase synchronization scheme designed for block turbo coded systems. This is a low-complexity scheme. It copes with low signal-to-noise ratios, taking complete advantage of the turbo coding possibilities. We display…

Contribution à l'étude de la durée de vie des assemblages de puissance dans des environnements haute température et avec des cycles thermiques de grande amplitude

In avionic applications, semiconductor devices can be placed on the engine with an ambient temperature about 200°C and thermal cycling from -55°C to 200°C in the worst case. The first part of this study presents the electric characterizations of…

Surface and aerodynamic roughness in arid and semiarid areas andtheir relation to radar backscatter coefficient

Surface roughness is a key parameter for surface-atmosphere exchanges of mass andenergy. Only a few field measurements have been performed in arid or semiarid areaswhere it is an important control of the aeolian erosion threshold. An intensive…
