We derive a tight, single-term, purely exponential, lower bound on the Gaussian Q-function, along with a method to optimize its tightness and a fast iterative method for its inversion. To illustrate ...

As a novel evolutionary algorithm, fruit fly optimization algorithm (FOA) has received great attentions and wide applications in recent years. However, existing literature have demonstrated that the ...

Since the long-term stability of polyamide thin-film composite (PA-TFC) reverse osmosis (RO) membranes is crucial for water treatment processes under different operating conditions susceptible to ...
