Pipeline Size Optimization

Critical Transitions in Water and Environmental Resources Management, 2004
Water Transmission Pipeline size selection is often based on rule-of-thumb maximum velocity or maximum headloss constraints that are policy for a particular water agency. This method which is based on facility wear and surge concerns works well when the power costs for pumping are not high enough to also be required components in the pipeline size ...

Optimal Bus Sizing

2010
The use of advanced packaging will reduce the electrical parasitics due to the package. This reduces the package noise in the system which leads to increased performance; however, moving toward advanced packaging is often more expensive and can result in a cost prohibitive increase in the majority of modern VLSI designs.

Two system-size-resonance behaviors for calcium signaling: For optimal cell size and for optimal network size

Physical Review E, 2006
We have studied the collective calcium signaling behavior of an array of coupled N cells, taking into account the internal noises resulting from the small cell size V. The system's performance was characterized by the reciprocal coefficient of variance (RCV) of the calcium spike train.

Optimal Model Size

2002
We consider the selection of model size from the perspective of maximizing out-of-sample prediction power. The selection criteria consist of two components, the in-sample prediction error and a correction factor that measures the overfitting tendency of each model.

Plot Size Optimization

Forest Science, 1980
Abstract The relationships between measurement time, travel time, and plot size are examined for simple random sampling and systematic sampling on a square lattice. The total time to estimate a stand variable within a desired level of accuracy is shown to be minimal if plot size is calculated from the formula P* = P(t/m)² where P ...

Optimal body size in bumblebees

Oecologia, 1978
It is hypothesized that the body size of a bumblebee will be that size which maximizes its average net rate of energy intake while collecting nectar. A mathematical model is developed with the result that the net rate of energy intake of a nectar-collecting bumblebee is expressed as a function of the body size of the bumblebee. From this model the body

Fixed-sized blocks optimization

Information Processing Letters, 1988
Many programming languages offer the dynamic storage allocation facility. Currently, the simplest and very fast method of dynamic storage allocation involves blocks of a fixed size. The authors present a generalization of the fixed-size blocks method, which is a little slower than the original one, but still allows allocation and deallocation in a ...

On the Optimal Sizing Problem

Journal of the Operational Research Society, 1994
Summary: The paper studies the problem of determining the number and dimensions of sizes of apparel so as to maximize profits. It develops a simple one- variable bisection search algorithm that gives the optimal solution. An example is solved interactively using a Macintosh LC and Math CAD, a mathematical software package.

Dairy farms’ size optimization

Russian Agricultural Sciences, 2017
The economic-mathematical model is presented to choose the optimum size of the dairy farm taking into account a set of local factors: places of trade, road condition, geometrical form of the field’s territory, and other factors. Criterion of optimization is the maximum profit and profitability maximum.

Size Distributions and the Optimal Size of Firms

Zeitschrift für Nationalökonomie, 1970
In this chapter, we will turn to a different topic, namely the size distribution of firms 1) This is methodologically related to the subject treated in chapter 3, since — to a large extent — the same tools have been used to explain existing distributions, and there is also a further connection since one might take the size distribution of income as a ...
