Genetic Algorithm based SHE-PWM for 1- ø and 3- ø Voltage Source Inverters by Kumari, M.

“…In medium voltage high power application of voltage source inverter (VSI), low switching frequency pulse width modulation (LSPWM) techniques offer better efficiency and better thermal management as the switching loss decreases drastically. The number of switching transitions are very limited, hence getting a good quality output waveform is a drawback in LSFPWM. …”

Timetabling hub-and-spoke parcel distribution inter-facility network by Ben-Ayed, Omar

“…The resolving of the problem highly depends on the ability of the analyst to develop intelligent ways to limit the values of decision variables. The model applied to a real-world case is entered in a spreadsheet where the objective function is evaluated for the possible decision variable values; the timetable generated for a newly designed hub-and-spoke network decreased shipping time by around 30% as compared to the timetable of the existing design.…”

Long-Distance Vowel-to-Vowel Coarticulation in Arabic: Influences of Intervening Consonant Pharyngealization and Length by Ahmed, Sarah

“…Speakers of Egyptian Arabic were recorded saying sentences containing nonsense sequences of the form /baɁabaCV:/, where C was chosen from {/t/, /tˤ/, /t:/, /tˤ:/} and V was a long vowel /i:/, /a:/ or /u:/. Analysis of the first and second formants of the recorded vowels revealed that (a) vowel-to-vowel coarticulatory effects could sometimes extend to a distance of three vowels before the context vowel; (b) the consonant-to-vowel effects associated with pharyngealization were consistently seen at similar distances, while also decreasing in magnitude at greater distances from the triggering consonant; and (c) effects related to intervening consonant length were idiosyncratic, and in particular did not lead to consistent blocking of vowel-to-vowel effects. …”
