Network flow analysis relies on mathematical techniques to gain knowledge about network structure in real and theoretical systems. From a two-dimensional representation of the flow of material, energy, or information in a network, indices and matrices provide non-obvious knowledge about the system. Where the indices and matrices are described in the literature, researchers rarely find an algorithm or computer code example to facilitate the inclusion of the technique into their projects. Researchers are forced to code the algorithms from scratch, which can be difficult, or obtain them from other investigators, which is time-consuming. In this paper, I describe the most popular network flow analysis indices and matrices with reference to relevant citations and supply algorithms and free software for their calculation. I also propose that researchers adopt a consistent set of primary symbolic letter designations for the indices and matrices. (c) 2005 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Many power system circuits contain iron cored coils, which are common nonlinear circuit elements. Systems engineers have to model these elements while studying such phenomena as inrush current, ferroresonance, subharmonics etc. The nonlinearity involved in these elements cannot be appropriately taken into account unless due regard is given to the damping effects on account of hysteresis. This paper attempts to simulate digitally the appropriate paths of B/H excursions in a piecewise linear manner when the magnetic core is subjected to random variations of magnetic field intensity and sets up a computer algorithm. The algorithm may be used in digital analysis of systems containing iron cored coils.

An analytical-type solution based on the superposition method is developed for the free-vibration frequencies and mode shapes of rectangular plates resting on arbitrarily located rigid point supports. The supports are of the type realized by means of bolts or spot welds. An extensive experimental program was conducted in support of the project, and excellent agreement between computed and experimental results was obtained. While the analysis is general in nature, it will be highly applicable to the study of vibration of electronic circuit boards and solar panels.

A solar simulator utilizing nine 30-kW xenon ape lamps was built to provide radiant power for testing a solar dynamic space power system in a thermal vacuum environment. The advanced solar simulator achieved the following values specific to the solar dynamic system: 1) a subtense angle of 1 deg;2) the ability to vary solar simulator intensity up to 1.7 kW/m(2);3) a beam diameter of 4.8 m;and 4) uniformity of illumination on the order of +/-10%. The flexibility of the solar simulator design allows for other potential uses of the facility.

We propose an algorithm for constructing minimax D-optimal designs for the logistic model when only the ranges of the values for both parameters are assumed known. Properties of these designs are studied and compared with optimal Bayesian designs and Sitter's (1992, Biometrics, 48, 1145-1155) minimax D-optimal kk-designs. Examples of minimax D-optimal designs are presented for the logistic and power logistic models, including a dose-response design for rheumatoid arthritis patients.

Engine thrust vectoring (TV) is a potential technology for military and future civil aircraft in which the Technion-Israel Institute of Technology has made significant contributions. This paper provides realistic predictions of steady-state engine performance during steady-state pitch vectoring. The results obtained comprise a required fundamental step for advanced aircraft/TV implementation. This work is a part of the Lockheed Martin yaw-pitch TV F-16/F-100 research study conducted here at the Jet Laboratory. To this end, a unique TV-engine computer algorithm has been developed that expands the conventional steady-state modeling capabilities of on- and off-design as well as the conventional transients (via throttle changes) to create steady-state and dynamic TV-engine simulations at various altitudes and Mach numbers. This paper reviews the steady state performances and the optimization observations initially obtained. The subcritical flow realm of nozzle performance provides trends aiding in the prediction of thrust benefits beyond the conventional nozzle design of the F100 model are available as the effective nozzle throat area is allowed to contract through vectoring.

An analysis of the optimum optical modulation index of laser transmitters in SCM systems is presented. Nonlinear distortion arising from overmodulation in a laser-limiter combination is studied. A generalised analysis, based on rectangular signal input power spectral density and broadband transmission, is given for the nonlinear noise spectral density. A computer algorithm is developed to generate the optimum modulation index which maximises the received CNR for SCM transmission.

Deals with the analysis of arbitrarily shaped microstrip antennas. A powerful and flexible technique is obtained by combining a mixed potential integral equation, successfully used for rectangular patches, with a method of moments, using a division of the patch into triangular cells and overlapping basis functions, defined over cell couples. The resulting computer algorithm is validated by comparing its predictions with the measurements obtained from an equilateral triangular patch

A program for building level schemes from gamma-spectroscopy coincidence data has been developed. The scheme builder was equipped with two different algorithms: a statistical one based on the Metropolis method and a more logical one, called REMP (REcurse, Merge and Permute), developed from scratch. These two methods are compared both on ideal cases and on experimental gamma-ray data sets. The REMP algorithm is based on coincidences and transition energies. Using correct and complete coincidence data, it has solved approximately half a million schemes without failures. Also, for incomplete data and data with minor errors, the algorithm produces consistent sub-schemes when it is not possible to obtain a complete scheme from the provided data. (C) 2011 Elsevier B.V.
