Read MoreBalancing Exploration-Exploitation in the Set Covering Problem Resolution with a Self-adaptive Intelligent Water Drops Algorithm
The objective of the metaheuristics, together with obtaining quality results in reasonable time, is to be able to control the exploration and exploitation balance within the iterative processes of these methodologies. Large combinatorial problems present ample search space, so Metaheuristics must efficiently explore this space; and exploits looking in the vicinity of good solutions previously…
Read MoreDownlink Indoor Coverage Performance of Unmanned Aerial Vehicle LTE Base Stations
In this study, we study on the downlink indoor coverage performance of unmanned air vehicle (UAV) base stations. We consider a probabilistic expression for air-to-ground (ATG) path loss, and a deterministic one for additional indoor losses in order to provide a practical model. One of our important assumptions is that the UAV base station operates…
Read MoreSynthesis and Characterization of Graphene Oxide Under Different Conditions, and a Preliminary Study on its Efficacy to Adsorb Cu\(^{2+}\)
Graphene oxide (GO) was prepared by the modified Hummer’s method, but the mass ratio of graphite to sodium nitrate (NaNO3) was varied from 2:1, 1:1, and 1:2. The primary reason for the variation was to determine the optimum conditions that would afford more oxygen functional groups to improve the material for application in adsorption. The…
