Breaking Undular and Breaking Surges Advancing in Still Water by Feidong Zheng, Xueyi Li

“…The unsteady flow results demonstrated that the normalized longitudinal velocity component beneath the surge front was governed mainly by the normalized free-surface elevation, independently of the surge type. Moreover, the maximum vertical velocity component during the surge front passage had a linear dependence on the vertical location. …”

Automatic Calibration Using a Modified Genetic Algorithm for Millimeter-Wave Antenna Modules in MIMO Systems by Cheng-Nan Hu, Philip Lo, Chien-Peng Ho, Dau-Chyrh Chang

“…Analyzing a grating lobe diagram indicates a scan volume of ±60°/±45° in the azimuth/elevation direction. To calibrate the massive mm-wave MIMO antenna module, we propose a modified genetic algorithm to align the amplitude/phase of the transmitting/receiving signal of the module to reduce the time required for the calibration process. …”
