Robust topology optimization of three-dimensional photonic-crystal band-gap structures [PDF]
We perform full 3D topology optimization (in which "every voxel" of the unit cell is a degree of freedom) of photonic-crystal structures in order to find optimal omnidirectional band gaps for various symmetry groups, including fcc (including diamond ...

Towards efficient multiobjective optimization: multiobjective statistical criterions [PDF]
The use of Surrogate Based Optimization (SBO) is widely spread in engineering design to reduce the number of computational expensive simulations. However, "real-world" problems often consist of multiple, conflicting objectives leading to a set of ...

Design optimization of baffle in heat exchanger for improving flow maldistribution and pressure drop
Heat exchangers (HEs) are used in process industries such as power plants and petroleum refineries. It is important to minimize flow maldistribution as well as pressure drop for high performance of HE. A baffle is often installed in the header part of HE

Fluorescent probes allow dynamic visualization of phosphoinositides in living cells (left), whereas mass spectrometry provides high‐sensitivity, isomer‐resolved quantitation (right). Their synergistic use captures complementary aspects of lipid signaling. This review illustrates how these approaches reveal the spatiotemporal regulation and quantitative
