and was said to be planning a further excavation he died suddenly in 1890. Sir Arthur Evans most significant discoveries at the Palace of Knossos were the recovery of about 3000 ancient Linear A and B writing tablets. Linear A, a script representing the language of the Minoans still remains largely deciphered. Linear B soon proved to be an early form of ancient Greek from a later, Mycenaean occupation of the
Question Set #4: Gardner, Ch. 4 1. Cite at least three different functions that the Palace at Knossos served. The Palace at Knossos served as a landmark with mythological implications as it was said to be the home of King Minos and also gave rise to the important myth of Theseus. The maze like system of the palace was used to tell the story of Theseus who slew the Minotaur while being hunted by the creature in the Palace’s labyrinth. The Palace was also used for storing goods like wine, grain
3 Methodology The developed optimisation routine makes use of adaptive response surface regression to use a limited initial amount of FE models to feed an optimisation routine which is specifically designed for general thermal problems where parameters linked to the general heat equation can be optimised or estimated using experimental input data. The algorithm uses a pan and zoom function to move through the design space and delivers faster predictions with fewer iterations than standard updating
prepared for detailing how to design and build the structure of LabVIEW simulation for speed control of Linear induction motor and explaining the characteristic of V/F Speed control for Induction motor obtain the data by LabVIEW. The design and build of simulation has two parts, part one is simulation of LED indicator for motor speed recognize and part 2 is simulation of V/F speed control of Linear induction motor. Firstly, design
structure program. Branches that contain functions and terminals are connected to the root point. A typical example of GP tree is shown in (FIG) Defining terminal and function sets actually determine the search space. GP starts a blind search for solution by creating random initial population within the search area. GP measure the fitness of each individual and the ones with better fitness are chosen for building the next generation by mutation, cross over or direct reproduction [1]. During the reproduction
Introduction The general intention of this Module Two Case Assignment is to generate a Linear Regression (LR) equation in Excel. We will be formulating this equation by exploiting data gathered by our client, the New Star Grocery Company, this organization relies that their consumer influx correlates with their monthly sales. Thus, we will commence this assignment by deliberating upon the means, in which we developed this equation. Development Henceforth, in developing this equation, we gathered
them in Matlab, we will use worked examples to show how each algorithm works. Firefly algorithm is an evolutionary optimization algorithm, and is inspired by the flashing behavior of special flies called fireflies in nature. There are some noisy non-linear mathematical optimization problems that can be effectively solved by Metaheuristic Algorithms. Firefly algorithm is one of the new metaheuristic algorithms for these optimization problems. The algorithm is inspired by the flashing behavior of fireflies
analysis of feasible-point active-set methods for QP. This framework defines a class of methods in which a primal-dual search pair is the solution of an equality-constrained subproblem involving a “working set” of linearly independent constraints. This framework is discussed in the context of two broad classes of active-set method for
Panigrahi [2], presents a novel heuristic optimization method to solve complex economic load dispatch problem using a hybrid method based on particle swarm optimization (PSO) and gravitational search algorithm (GSA). This algorithm named as hybrid PSOGSA combines the social thinking feature in PSO with the local search capability of GSA. To analyze the performance of the PSOGSA algorithm it has been tested on four different standard test cases of different dimensions and complexity levels arising due to
is a hybrid approach uses: (1) Linear programming to create a lower bound of the lowest direct cost curve efficiently; and (2) Integer programming to find the exact solutions. Following describe the formulation of linear and integer programming models. Examples are given to demonstrate how to formulate the mathematical models. Linear programming algorithms, such as simplex method, can then be used to find the optimal solutions. Much commercially available linear programming software, such as Lindo
