The customary single-arc blade applied in the multi-blade centrifugal ventilating fan for
building ventilation is ordinary in shape and hard to meet the design requirements of the …

Origami design concepts are finding pervasive utility in engineering applications due to their
ability to map complex shape transformations into a series of folding actions. The interplay …

Adult murine neural stem cells (NSCs) generate neurons in drastically declining numbers
with age. How cellular dynamics sustain neurogenesis and how alterations with age may …

This paper compares space-filling and importance sampling (IS)-based Monte Carlo sample
designs with those derived for optimality in the error of stratified statistical estimators. Space …

The selection of points for numerical integration of the Monte Carlo type, largely used in
analysis of engineering problems, is developed. It is achieved by modification of the metric …

In this paper, a general and efficient method for constructing LHDs possessing favorable
characteristics of orthogonality and better computational efficiency is first proposed. Next, a …

This article proposes a sampling technique that delivers robust designs, that is, point sets
selected from a design domain in the shape of a unit hypercube. The designs are …

Diffusion behaviors of heterogeneous materials are of paramount importance in many
engineering problems. Numerical models that take into account the internal structure of such …

In this paper, the family of ϕ p optimization criteria for space-filling designs is critically
reviewed, with a focus on its behavior in moderate to large dimensions, especially for small …

A method is proposed for the construction of uniformly distributed point sets within a design
domain using an analogy to a dynamical system of interacting particles. The possibility of …
