The flame-made (5/5) pure ZnO and WO 3 -doped ZnO nanoparticles containing 0.25, 0.50, and 0.75 mol% of WO 3 were successfully synthesized by flame spray pyrolysis (FSP). These materials were studied for NO 2 , CO and H 2 gas sensing at different gas concentrations and operating temperatures ranging from 300-400°C in dry air. The crystalline phase, morphology and size of the nanoparticles were characterized by XRD, BET, TEM, SEM and EDS in order to correlate physical properties with gas sensing performance. The gas-sensing results showed that WO 3 doping significantly enhanced NO 2 gas-sensing performance of ZnO nanoparticles. In addition, 0.5 mol% is found to be an optimal WO 3 concentration which gives the highest sensitivity towards NO 2 .

High computational cost for solving large engineering optimization problems point out the design of parallel optimization algorithms. Population based optimization algorithms provide parallel capabilities that can be explored by their implementations done directly in hardware. This paper presents a hardware implementation of particle swarm optimization algorithms using an efficient floating-point arithmetic which performs the computations with high precision. All the architectures are parameterizable by bit-width, allowing the designer to choose the suitable format according to the requirements of the optimization problem. Synthesis and simulation results demonstrate that the proposed architecture achieves satisfactory results obtaining a better performance in therms of elapsed time than conventional software implementations.
