Testing a new voting machine question methodology

A new question methodology has been developed and used with voting machines in large physics lecture classrooms. The methodology was tested by comparing student performance in voting machine and non-voting machine lecture sections during three consecutive electricity and magnetism quarters of introductory calculus-based physics. Data from The Conceptual Survey of Electricity and Magnetism and c...

solution of security constrained unit commitment problem by a new multi-objective optimization method

چکیده-پخش بار بهینه به عنوان یکی از ابزار زیر بنایی برای تحلیل سیستم های قدرت پیچیده ،برای مدت طولانی مورد بررسی قرار گرفته است.پخش بار بهینه توابع هدف یک سیستم قدرت از جمله تابع هزینه سوخت ،آلودگی ،تلفات را بهینه می کند،و هم زمان قیود سیستم قدرت را نیز برآورده می کند.در کلی ترین حالتopf یک مساله بهینه سازی غیر خطی ،غیر محدب،مقیاس بزرگ،و ایستا می باشد که می تواند شامل متغیرهای کنترلی پیوسته و گ...

Predicting successful long-term weight loss from short-term weight-loss outcomes: new insights from a dynamic energy balance model (the POUNDS Lost study).

BACKGROUND Currently, early weight-loss predictions of long-term weight-loss success rely on fixed percent-weight-loss thresholds. OBJECTIVE The objective was to develop thresholds during the first 3 mo of intervention that include the influence of age, sex, baseline weight, percent weight loss, and deviations from expected weight to predict whether a participant is likely to lose 5% or more ...

Capacity and efficiency testing of new immunoassay analyzers.

To the Editor: We read with interest the recent report by Hendriks et al. (1 ) comparing processing capacity and efficiency for five different immunoassay analyzers. As the authors correctly state, the great diversity in laboratory organization and function means that no two laboratories have exactly the same requirements of an immunoassay analyzer. Given this reality, we would like to comment ...
