An objective function that includes operational and time costs was developed to quantify performance and determine the best collaboration level. Signal detection theory was applied to evaluate system ...

PaPILO, a C++14-based software package, provides parallel presolve routines for (mixed integer) linear programming problems. The routines are implemented using templates which allows switching to ...

The simplex algorithm, a linear programming technique, was adopted to minimize the objective function, which was the feed price, established the following restrictions: i) non-negativity of the ...

Various canonical piecewise linear (CPWL) function-based models have been widely used for modeling radio frequency (RF) power amplifiers (PAs). In most literatures, the thresholds of CPWL are often ...

Self-powered catalytic micromotors that swim through a fluid by harvesting energy from their environment have received increasing attention because of their potential applications in nanomachinery, ...
