Improved Uniform Sampling in Constrained Domains for Data-Driven Modelling of Antennas
PublikacjaData-driven surrogate modelling of antenna structures is an attractive way of accelerating the design process, in particular, parametric optimization. In practice, construction of surrogates is hindered by curse of dimensionality as well as wide ranges of geometry parameters that need to be covered in order to make the model useful. These difficulties can be alleviated by constrained performance-driven modelling with the surrogate...

Earthquake-induced pounding between superstructure segments of isolated bridge
PublikacjaThe use of seismic isolation in bridges is considered as one of the most promising advanced technologies to enhance the structural safety during earthquakes. However, the method results in larger displacements of superstructure segments increasing the probability of pounding between them. Reports after severe ground motions show that the earthquake-induced structural pounding may lead to significant damage in isolated bridges....

How Chain Transfer Leads to a Uniform Polymer Particle Morphology and Prevents Reactor Fouling
PublikacjaABSTRACT: The effect of adding diethyl zinc as a chain transfer agent during the polymerization of propylene in heptane performed at 80 °C was studied. Although it was expected that the chain transfer would stop after precipitation of the polymer, the polymer molecular weight continued to increase throughout the whole of the polymerization. The presence of diethyl zinc had an additional effect that the polymerizations were devoid...

Scheduling of unit-length jobs with cubic incompatibility graphs on three uniform machines
PublikacjaWe consider the problem of scheduling n identical jobs on 3 uniform machines with speeds s1, s2, and s3 to minimize the schedule length. We assume that jobs are subject to some kind of mutual exclusion constraints, modeled by a cubic incompatibility graph. We how that if the graph is 2-chromatic then the problem can be solved in O(n^2) time. If the graph is 3-chromatic, the problem becomes NP-hard even if s1>s2=s3.

Enhanced uniform data sampling for constrained data‐driven modeling of antenna input characteristics
PublikacjaData-driven surrogates are the most popular replacement models utilized in many fields of engineering and science, including design of microwave and antenna structures. The primary practical issue is a curse of dimensionality which limits the number of independent parameters that can be accounted for in the modelling process. Recently, a performance-driven modelling technique has been proposed where the constrained domain of the...

We assume that the jobs are subject to some types of mutual exclusion constraints, modeled by a bipartite graph of a bounded degree. The edges of the graph correspond to the pairs of jobs that cannot be processed on the same machine. Although the problem is generally NP-hard,...
