An a posteriori error analysis of a mixed finite element Galerkin approximation to second order linear parabolic problems
In this article, a posteriori error estimates are derived for a mixed finite element Galerkin approximation to second order linear parabolic initial and boundary value problems. Using mixed elliptic reconstruction method, a posteriori error estimates in and -norms with optimal order of convergence for the solution as well as its flux are proved for the semidiscrete scheme. Finally, based on backward Euler method, a completely discrete scheme is analyzed and a posteriori bounds are derived, which improves earlier results on a posteriori estimates for mixed parabolic problems
Dual weighted residual method for laser surface hardening of steel problem
Abstract. The main focus of this article is on the development of Adaptive Finite Element Method (AFEM) for the optimal control problem of laser surface hardening of steel governed by a dynamical system consisting of a semi-linear parabolic equation and an ordinary differential equation using Dual Weighted Residual Method (DWR). A posteriori error estimators using DWR method have been developed when a continuous piecewise linear discretization has been used for the finite element approximation of space variables and a discontinuous Galerkin method has been used for time and control discretizations. Further numerical results obtained are presented are compared with residual method numerical results. Key Words. Laser surface of steel problem, Adaptive finite element methods, Dual weighted residual methods, a posteriori error estimates. 1
Convergence of an adaptive mixed finite element method for general second order linear elliptic problems
The convergence of an adaptive mixed finite element method for general second
order linear elliptic problems defined on simply connected bounded polygonal
domains is analyzed in this paper. The main difficulties in the analysis are
posed by the non-symmetric and indefinite form of the problem along with the
lack of the orthogonality property in mixed finite element methods. The
important tools in the analysis are a posteriori error estimators,
quasi-orthogonality property and quasi-discrete reliability established using
representation formula for the lowest-order Raviart-Thomas solution in terms of
the Crouzeix-Raviart solution of the problem. An adaptive marking in each step
for the local refinement is based on the edge residual and volume residual
terms of the a posteriori estimator. Numerical experiments confirm the
theoretical analysis.Comment: 24 pages, 8 figure
Theoretical studies of the atomic transitions in boron-like ions: Mg VIII, Si X and S XII
In this paper, we have carried out the calculations of the weighted
oscillator strengths and the transition probabilities for a few low-lying
transitions of boron-like ions: Mg VIII, Si X and S XII which are
astrophysically important, particularly, in the atmospheres of the solar
corona. We have employed an all-order relativistic many-body theory called the
relativistic coupled-cluster theory to calculate very precisely these atomic
quantities of astrophysical interest. We have reported for the first time the
transition probabilities for some forbidden transitions which are unavailable
in the literature; either theoretically or experimentally. We also discuss the
physical effects associated with these transitions. Our data can be used for
the identification of spectral lines arising from the coronal atmospheres of
Sun and Sun-like stars having an extended corona.Comment: 8 pages, 4 table
Glutathione-S-Transferase and Thiol Stress in patients with acute renal failure
Introduction: Tubular damage is common finding in acute renal failure (ARF). Various etiologies have been put forth to explain the tubular damage in ARF, one important mechanism among them is oxidative damage to renal tubules. Several biomolecules including low-molecular weight peptides and enzymes in urine have been proposed as early markers of renal failure. Current study has been undertaken to study the thiol stress and glutathione-S-transferase (GST) levels in ARF patients. Method: 58 ARF patients and 55 healthy controls were selected based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. Serum thiols, GST, malanoldehyde (MDA) and urine thiols were determined by spectrophotometer based methods. Results: Serum thiols and urine thiols were significantly decreased (p<0.0001), and serum GST and MDA levels were significantly increased (p<0.0001) in ARF patients compared to healthy controls. Serum GST and MDA correlated positively in ARF cases (r2 = 0.6938, p<0.0001). Conclusion: There is significant thiol stress and increased lipid peroxidation in ARF patients which leads to tubular cell membrane damage and release of GST into blood stream and into urine. This may be possible mechanism for the increased presence of GST in urine (enzymuria) found in other studie
IOT Based Intelligent Bin for Smart Cities
The method of connecting the objects or things through wireless connectivity, Internet called Internet Of Things. Nowadays a variety of tasks are based on IOT. Cities in the world are becoming smarter by implementing the things around using IOT. This is a new trend in technology. Smart cities include obstacle tracking, object sensing, traffic control, tracking of our activities, examining the baby, monitoring home lights and so on. One of the objective of smart cities is keeping the environment clean and neat. This aim is not fulfilled without the garbage bin management system. Hence the paper “IOT Based Intelligent Bin for Smart Cities” has been developed. Bin management is one of the major applications of IOT. Here sensors are connected to the all the bins at different areas. It senses the level of garbage in bin. When it reaches threshold a message is sent via GSM to the concerned person to clean it as soon as possible. The completed task is done in LabVIEW environment
Design of a High Speed Serializer, Timing Analysis and Optimization in TSMC 28nm Process Technology
The use of serializers and deserializers in SerDes devices is a compulsory requirement for chip to chip communication. They are useful in converting parallel to serial data and vice-versa. Mutltiple SerDes devices are housed in a single package. In this paper, a high speed serializer targeted for speeds as high as 20Gbps is proposed and implemented. This is designed primarily for SerDes devices for chip to chip communication. The serializer is designed to facilitate high speed transfer data rates. This design employs differential logic implementation for the circuit, so as to owe high speed operation when compared to single ended implementation. The custom circuit design simulations are compared against standard library files generated by LIBERATE tool. Also Timing fixes were done using Synthesis flow by writing the RTL code for custom top module design and feeding it to DC and IC Compilers.
