Colliding dust and the sparks of creation: Carbon-coated grains provide new clue to life's early energy

Two microscopic grains collide and produce a tiny spark. This phenomenon may have provided the energy to kick off life on Earth. But if these solid particles have the same composition, what factor ...

Swarm size and inertia weight selection of Particle Swarm Optimizer in system identification

Abstract: The performance of Particle Swarm Optimizer (PSO) is not only related with the inertia weight, but also with the swarm size. In a typical second-order discrete transfer function case, an ...
