A New Model Considering Uncertainties for Power Market

Medium-term modeling of electricity market has essential role in generation expansion planning. On the other hand, uncertainties strongly affect modeling and consequently, strategic analysis of generation firms in the medium term. Therefore, models considering these uncertainties are highly required. Among uncertain variables considered in the medium term generation planning, demand and hyd...

Representing Terrain with Mathematical Operators

This work describes a mathematical representation of terrain data consisting of a novel operation, the “drill”. It facilitates the representation of all legal terrains, capturing the richness of the physics of the terrain’s generation by digging channels in the surface. Given our current reliance on digital map data, hand-held devices, and GPS navigation systems, the accuracy and compactness of...

Mathematical Representation of Vasorelaxant Effect of Benzopyranes Using Box-Jenkins Model

     Drug design is generally achieved through trial and error methods, which is a time and resource consuming process and novel methods are needed to improve it. Mathematical modelling is one of the possible solutions to speed up this process. In this study, we have presented Box-Jenkins model, to predict the vasorelaxant activity (pEC50) of a set of benzopyrane compounds. We used t...

Sparse representation of terrains for procedural modeling

In this paper, we present a simple and efficient method to represent terrains as elevation functions built from linear combinations of landform features (atoms). These features can be extracted either from real world data-sets or procedural primitives, or from any combination of multiple terrain models. Our approach consists in representing the elevation function as a sparse combination of prim...
