DEVELOPMENT OF HYDRAULIC PULL- METER TO COMPATIBLE WITH MONOTERING DATA INSTRUMENT [PDF]
Journal of Soil Sciences and Agricultural Engineering, 2014 The hydraulic pull-meter and strain pull-meter are normally used to test tractors and agricultural machines. Each one has advantage and disadvantage. Data obtained from the hydraulic pull-meter is steady and is recorded manually from its dial. So, at the

Pull in and Push Out: Mechanisms of Horizontal Gene Transfer in Bacteria
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018 Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) plays an important role in bacterial evolution. It is well accepted that DNA is pulled/pushed into recipient cells by conserved membrane-associated DNA transport systems, which allow the entry of only single-stranded DNA ...

On the application of Sturm's theorem to analysis of dynamic pull-in for a graphene-based MEMS model
Applied and Computational Mechanics, 2018 A novel procedure based on the Sturm’s theorem for real-valued polynomials is developed to predict and identify periodic and non-periodic solutions for a graphene-based MEMS lumped parameter model with general initial conditions.

Push–Pull Gradient Methods for Distributed Optimization in Networks [PDF]
IEEE Transactions on Automatic Control, 2018 In this article, we focus on solving a distributed convex optimization problem in a network, where each agent has its own convex cost function and the goal is to minimize the sum of the agents’ cost functions while obeying the network connectivity ...

Push and Pull Search for Solving Constrained Multi-objective Optimization Problems [PDF]
Swarm and Evolutionary Computation, 2017 This paper proposes a push and pull search (PPS) framework for solving constrained multi-objective optimization problems (CMOPs). To be more specific, the proposed PPS divides the search process into two different stages, including the push and pull ...
