Performance analysis and parameter optimization of microchannel heat sink with porous-solid composite ribs by Chunjie Liu, Shixin Xing, Wenrui Wang, Dinghua Hu

“…We define four structural parameters: the length and width ratios of porous-solid composite ribs (α, β) and polygonal ribs (η, γ), and investigate the influence on the Nusselt number (Nu) and the friction factor (f). The optimization process employs artificial neural network models and non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm to determine the optimal solution. …”

RIS-Assisted Wireless System in the Presence of Direct Channel: Channel Statistics and Performance Analysis by Soumya P. Dash, Debasish Ghose

“…The phases of the reflecting elements of the RIS are selected considering the phases of all the fading channels to maximize the performance of the system. Series-form expressions for the probability density function (p.d.f.) and cumulative distribution function (c.d.f.) are derived for the composite channel of the communication system by considering the RIS channels to follow independent Nakagami-m distributions and the envelope of the direct channel to follow a Rayleigh distribution. …”
