This paper has two objectives. We introduce a new global optimization algorithm reformulating optimization problems in terms
of boundary-value problems. Then, we apply this algorithm to a pointwise control problem of the viscous Burgers equation,
where the control weight coefficient is progressively decreased. The results are compared with those obtained with a genetic
algorithm and an LM-BFGS algorithm in order to check the efficiency of our method and the necessity of using global optimization
techniques. 相似文献
A novel sensitive and simple method for rapid and selective extraction, preconcentration and determination of iron (as its
bathophenanthroline complex) and copper (as its neocuproine complex) using octadecyl silica cartridges and dual wavelength
spectrophotometry is presented. The dual wavelength method (533 nm for the iron-bathophenanthroline and 454 nm for the copper-neocuproine
as the analytical wavelength) is used to eliminate spectral interferences. Extraction efficiency and the influence of flow
rates of sample solution and eluent, pH, amount of neocuproine, bathophenanthroline and hydroxylamine hydrochloride, type
and least amount of eluent for elution of iron and copper complexes from cartridge, break-through volume and limit of detection
are evaluated. The effects of various cationic and anionic interferences on percent recovery of iron and copper are also studied.
Extraction efficiencies >95% are obtained by elution of cartridges with minimal amount of organic solvent. Iron and copper
were determined in the range of 3–100 ng mL−1. The limits of detection are 0.98 and 1.13 ng mL−1 for iron and copper, respectively. The proposed method is applied successfully to the determination of both analytes in river,
tap and well water samples.

We present a systematic, experimentally validated method of designing electrokinetic injections for on-chip capillary electrophoresis applications. This method can be used to predict point-wise and charge-coupled device (CCD)-imaged electropherograms using estimates of species mobilities, diffusivities and initial sample plug parameters. A simple Taylor dispersion model is used to characterize electrophoretic separations in terms of resolution and signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). Detection convolutions using Gaussian and Boxcar detector response functions are used to relate optimal conditions for resolution and signal as a function of relevant system parameters including electroosmotic mobility, sample injection length, detector length scale, and the length-to-detector. Analytical solutions show a tradeoff between signal-to-noise ratio and resolution with respect to dimensionless injection width and length to the detector. In contrast, there is no tradeoff with respect to the Peclet number as increases in Peclet number favor both SNR and separation solution (R). We validate our model with quantitative epifluorescence visualizations of electrophoretic separation experiments in a simple cross channel microchip. For the pure advection regime of dispersion, we use numerical simulations of the transient convective diffusion processes associated with electrokinetics together with an optimization algorithm to design a voltage control scheme which produces an injection plug that has minimal advective dispersion. We also validate this optimal injection scheme using fluorescence visualizations. These validations show that optimized voltage scheme produces injections with a standard deviation less than one-fifth of the width of the microchannel. 相似文献
In this paper, the Vieta–Fibonacci wavelets as a new family of orthonormal wavelets are generated. An operational matrix concerning fractional integration of these wavelets is extracted. A numerical scheme is established based on these wavelets and their fractional integral matrix together with the collocation technique to solve fractional pantograph equations. The presented method reduces solving the problem under study into solving a system of algebraic equations. Several examples are provided to show the accuracy of the method. 相似文献
The Peer to Peer-Cloud (P2P-Cloud) is a suitable alternative to distributed cloud-based or peer-to-peer (P2P)-based content on a large scale. The P2P-Cloud is used in many applications such as IPTV, Video-On-Demand, and so on. In the P2P-Cloud network, overload is a common problem during overcrowds. If a node receives many requests simultaneously, the node may not be able to respond quickly to user requests, and this access latency in P2P-Cloud networks is a major problem for their users. The replication method in P2P-Cloud environments reduces the time to access and uses network bandwidth by making multiple data copies in diverse locations. The replication improves access to the information and increases the reliability of the system. The data replication's main problem is identifying the best possible placement of replica data nodes based on user requests for data access time and an NP-hard optimization problem. This paper proposes a new replica replacement to improve average access time and replica cost using fuzzy logic and Ant Colony Optimization algorithm. Ants can find the shortest path to discover the optimal node to place the duplicate file with the least access time latency. The fuzzy module evaluates the historical information of each node to analyze the pheromone value per iteration. The fuzzy membership function is also used to determine each node's degree based on the four characteristics. The simulation results showed that the access time and replica cost are improved compared to other replica replacement algorithms.
The novel 7-(N-formyl-, 7-(N-acetyl-, and 7-(N-isobutyrylamino)-2-methylquinoline-5,8-diones were synthesized in excellent overall yields in three steps via the nitration of the commercially available 8-hydroxy-2-methylquinoline followed by a reduction-acylation step and then oxidation. Acid hydrolysis of 7-(N-acetylamino)-2-methylquinoline-5,8-dione (14a) afforded the novel 7-aminoquinoline-5,8-dione 7 in excellent yields. Due to our efficient preparation of dione 14a, we now report a short and practical method for the total synthesis of the potent antitumor agent lavendamycin methyl ester (1b) with an excellent overall yield. 相似文献
The equilibrium constants and the thermodynamic parameters were spectrophotometrically measured for the 1:1 adduct formation of [Co(Salen)(PPh3)]ClO4.H2O, and [Co(7,7′-Me2Salen)(PPh3)]ClO4.H2O as acceptors, with P(OR)3 (R = methyl, ethyl, and i-propyl) as donors, in acetonitrile (CH3CN) and dimethylformamide (DMF) as solvents at constant ionic strength (I = 0.1 M NaClO4), and various temperatures (t = 10–50 °C). Our results revealed the following trends: stability of the cobalt(III) Schiff base complexes toward a given phosphite donor, [Co(7,7′-Me2Salen)(PPh3)]+ < [Co(Salen)(PPh3)]+; binding of the donors (phosphites) toward a given cobalt(III) Schiff base complex, P(OEt)3 > P(OMe)3 > P(O-iPr)3; influence of solvent on the stability of a given cobalt(III) Schiff base complex toward a given phosphite donor, CH3CN < DMF. 相似文献
