Estimation of the Wheat Losses Caused by the Tropospheric Ozone in Bulgaria and Denmark
Long-term exposures to high ozone concentrations have harmful effect on the crops and reduce the yield. The exposures are measured in terms of AOT40 (Accumulated exposure Over Threshold of 40 ppb). The threshold of 40 ppb has been accepted after several years of experimental research in open top chambers throughout Europe. As a result of these experiments a critical level of 3000 ppb.hours has ...
متن کاملEstimation of Welfare Costs of Power Outages in Iran's Economic Sectors
Electricity plays an important role in the production of various economic sectors. Power outages can thus impose high costs on these sectors and ultimately on economic growth and development. The purpose of this study is to estimate the welfare losses resulting from a possible power outage in the productive economic sectors of Iran. This study was conducted in two stages using provincial pane...
متن کاملA HYBRID SUPPORT VECTOR REGRESSION WITH ANT COLONY OPTIMIZATION ALGORITHM IN ESTIMATION OF SAFETY FACTOR FOR CIRCULAR FAILURE SLOPE
Slope stability is one of the most complex and essential issues for civil and geotechnical engineers, mainly due to life and high economical losses resulting from these failures. In this paper, a new approach is presented for estimating the Safety Factor (SF) for circular failure slope using hybrid support vector regression (SVR) and Ant Colony Optimization (ACO). The ACO is combined with the S...
متن کاملGlobal Crop Yield Reductions due to Surface Ozone Exposure: 1. Year 2000 Crop Production Losses, Economic Damage, and Implications for World Hunger
Exposure to elevated concentrations of surface ozone (O3) causes substantial reductions in the agricultural yields of many crops. As emissions of O3 precursors rise in many parts of the world over the next few decades, yield reductions from O3 exposure appear likely to increase the challenges of feeding a global population projected to grow from 6 to 9 billion between 2000 and 2050. This study ...
متن کاملConduction and Dead-Time Voltage Drops Estimation of Asymmetric Cascaded H-Bridge Converters Utilizing Level-Shifted PWM Scheme
Linear AC power supplies can be replaced by their nonlinear switching counterparts due to the lower voltage drops and higher efficiency and power density of switching-mode inverters. Multilevel cascaded H-bridge (CHB) converters are the preferred inverter structure because of modular configuration, control, and protection. The output voltage quality in CHB converters depends on the number of ou...
