The formulations are based on incorporating the DSP algorithms developed for infinite-impulse response (IIR) digital filters into the finite difference time domain (FDTD) implementations of the dispersive Helmholtz wave-equation. The proposed formulations allow modeling different dispersive materials, such as Debye, Drude, and Lorentz models, in the same manner. The stability of the formulations was studied by means of the Routh-Hurwitz and von Neumann criterion and found to maintain the conventional FDTD stability constrains. In addition, the formulations maintain the same numerical performance of the conventional FDTD approach but with less number of computed field components. Numerical example carried out for a two-term Lorentz material is included to show the validity of the formulations.","PeriodicalId":432900,"journal":{"name":"2015 9th Jordanian International Electrical and Electronics Engineering Conference (JIEEEC)","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124834302","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Evaluation of results from this study was made in terms of propagation delay time and total power consumed by the circuit. Tradeoff between these factors has led to the use of power delay product as a good indicator for design purposes. Such indicator plays a vital role in identifying the figure of merit of energy consumption for any digital system. All of the simulations presented are done for different number of inverters connected in series. Results show that as the number of inverters is increased the parameters involved are inversely proportional. Furthermore, we assess inverter performance when more complex circuits, viz., NOR gates, are involved via simulations. In this paper we also consider effects of varying the primary parameters of concern, viz., the chirality vector, the diameter of the nanotube and number of nanotubes used.","PeriodicalId":432900,"journal":{"name":"2015 9th Jordanian International Electrical and Electronics Engineering Conference (JIEEEC)","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131792467","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The induced voltages can affect the operating personnel, pipeline associated equipment, cathodic protection systems. The calculation of the induced voltages is typically done for personnel safety reasons, in order to ensure that induced voltages are not hazardous to someone in contact with the pipeline. Quite often, mitigation is required to reduce these induced voltages to levels under the safe threshold, in this calculation, a combination of particle swarm optimization (PSO) and Charge Simulation Method (CSM) is proposed. PSO is a population-based stochastic optimization algorithm modeled after the simulation of the social behavior of bird flocks and animal hordes, the optimum allocations of the simulating charges can be obtained using PSO.

Instead of the mentioned actual links, virtual links are considered which are ordered based on their SNRs.
