Optimization of 3D ZnO brush-like nanorods for dye-sensitized solar cells
(2018-03-09)In a dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC) the amount of adsorbed dye on the photoanode surface is a key factor that must be maximized in order to obtain enhanced DSSC performance. In this study 3D ZnO nanostructures, named ... -
Optimization of airflow organization in fan-wall data center via baffles
(2024-02-16)The utilization of natural fresh air for cooling server rooms in fan-wall data centers effectively reduces the operational duration of air conditioning, resulting in enhanced energy efficiency. Nonetheless, there are few ... -
Optimization of diffuser/nozzle elements for rectification valveless micropumps
(American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2011)There has been a growing interest in understanding the flow behaviour inside diffuser/nozzle elements in order to identify performance characteristics of these elements for micropump applications. Flat-walled diffuser/nozzle ... -
Optimization of lidar data processing : a goal of the EARILINET-ASOS project
(SPIE, 2007)EARLINET-ASOS (European Aerosol Research Lidar Network - Advanced Sustainable Observation System) is a 5-year EC Project started in 2006. Based on the EARLINET infrastructure, it will provide appropriate tools to improve ... -
Optimization of Nonambulant Mass Casualty Decontamination Protocols as Part of an Initial or Specialist Operational Response to Chemical Incidents
(2019-01-02)Objective: The UK's Initial Operational Response (IOR) is a new process for improving the survival of multiple casualties following a chemical, biological, radiological or nuclear incident. Whilst the introduction of IOR ... -
Optimization of protein loaded PLGA nanoparticles manufacturing parameters following a quality-by-design approach
(2016-10-26)Development of a multivariate-based regression model for estimating the critical attributes for establishing a design-space for poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) nanoparticles formulated by a double emulsion-solvent ... -
Optimization of the Observing Cadence for the Rubin Observatory Legacy Survey of Space and Time: A Pioneering Process of Community-focused Experimental Design
(2021-12-22)Vera C. Rubin Observatory is a ground-based astronomical facility under construction, a joint project of the National Science Foundation and the U.S. Department of Energy, designed to conduct a multipurpose 10 yr optical ... -
Optimized modeling of Gaia-Hipparcos astrometry for the detection of the smallest cold Jupiter and confirmation of seven low mass companions
(2021-08-03)To fully constrain the orbits of low mass circumstellar companions, we conduct combined analyses of the radial velocity data as well as the Gaia and Hipparcos astrometric data for eight nearby systems. Our study shows that ... -
Optimized Performance and Life Cycle Analysis of Cooled Solar PV
(2017-11-30)This research is aiming to investigate practical effects of solar PV surface temperature on output performance, in particular output efficiency. Experimental works were carried out under different radiation condition for ... -
Optimizing compilation with preservation of structural code coverage metrics to support software testing
(2014-05)Code-coverage-based testing is a widely-used testing strategy with the aim of providing a meaningful decision criterion for the adequacy of a test suite. Code-coverage-based testing is also mandated for the development of ... -
Optimizing home dialysis : role of hemodiafiltration
(2011)Over the last 40 years the technical obstacles which prevented a convective contribution to diffusive dialysis have been overcome. Hemodiafiltration represents a natural evolution of intermittent extracorporeal blood ... -
Optimizing Omega
(2009)This paper considers the Omega function, proposed by Cascon, Keating & Shadwick as a performance measure for comparing financial assets. We discuss the use of Omega as a basis for portfolio selection. We show that the ... -
Optimizing Preventive Maintenance Models
(2006)We deal with the problem of scheduling preventive maintenance (PM) for a system so that, over its operating life, we minimize a performance function which reflects repair and replacement costs as well as the costs of the ... -
Optimizing Preventive Maintenance Models.
(2005)We consider the problem of scheduling preventive maintenance so as to minimize the expected total repair and replacement costs over the lifetime of a system. Our AD-based approach involves some non-standard features, such ...
