Title: An efficient parallel architecture for ray-tracing
Authors: Alexandre S Nery Nadia Nedjah Felipe M G Franca
Abstract: Real time rendering of three-dimensional scenes in high photorealistic details is a hard task, such as in the ray tracing rendering algorithm. In general, the performance achieved by a sequential software-based implementation of ray tracing is far from satisfactory. However, parallel implementations of ray tracing have been enabling reasonable real time performance, as the algorithm is embarrassingly parallel. Thus, a custom parallel design in hardware is likely to achieve an even higher performance. In this paper, we propose a hardware parallel architecture capable of dealing with the main desirable features of ray tracing, such as shadows and reflection effects, imposing low area cost and a promising rendering performance. Such architecture, called Grid RT, is based on the Uniform Grid acceleration structure and is intended to deliver massive parallelism through parallel ray-triangle intersection tests as well as parallel processing of many rays. A hardware implementation of the proposed architecture is presented, together with some performance results and resources requirements. The rendering is reduced by 80% using a grid configuration of eight processing elements.

Title: An artificial bee colony algorithm for the maximally diverse grouping problem
Authors: Francisco J Rodriguez , M Lozano a , C GarcaMartnez b , Jonathan D GonzlezBarrera
Abstract: In this paper, an artificial bee colony algorithm is proposed to solve the maximally diverse grouping problem. This complex optimization problem consists of forming maximally diverse groups with restricted sizes from a given set of elements. The artificial bee colony algorithm is a new swarm intelligence technique based on the intelligent foraging behavior of honeybees. The behavior of this algorithm is determined by two search strategies: an initialization scheme employed to construct initial solutions and a method for generating neighboring solutions. More specifically, the proposed approach employs a greedy constructive method to accomplish the initialization task and also employs different neighborhood operators inspired by the iterated greedy algorithm. In addition, it incorporates an improvement procedure to enhance the intensification capability. Through an analysis of the experimental results, the highly effective performance of the proposed algorithm is shown in comparison to the current state-of-the-art algorithms which address the problem.

Title: Thermal energy storage using thermo-chemical heat pump
Authors: MA Hamdan a, , SD Rossides b , R Haj Khalil
Abstract: A theoretical study was performed to investigate the potential of storing thermal energy using a heat pump which is a thermo-chemical storage system consisting of water as sorbet, and sodium chloride as the sorbent. The effect of different parameters namely; the amount of vaporized water from the evaporator, the system initial temperature and the type of salt on the increase in temperature of the salt was investigated and hence on the performance of the thermo chemical heat pump. It was found that the performance of the heat pump improves with the initial system temperature, with the amount of water vaporized and with the water remaining in the system. Finally it was also found that lithium chloride salt has higher effect on the performance of the heat pump that of sodium chloride.

Title: Menger’s theorem for fuzzy graphs
Authors: Sunil Mathew, MS Sunitha
Abstract: The concept of the strongest path plays a crucial role in fuzzy graph theory. In classical graph theory, all paths in a graph are strongest, with a strength value of one. In this article, we introduce Menger’s theorem for fuzzy graphs and discuss the concepts of strength- reducing sets and t-connected fuzzy graphs. We also characterize t-connected and t-arc connected fuzzy graphs.
