Due to the continuous change in load, the frequency and tie-line power of control areas get disturbed from their scheduled value which is undesirable. Automatic Generation Control (AGC) is an essential mechanism in electric power systems which balance generated power and demand in each control area in order to maintain the system frequency at nominal value and tie-line power at its scheduled va...

Knowledge representation models have become an integral part of the intelligent decision support system (IDSS). This area is covered in many different works. The subject of particular interest is the application of intelligent technologies for the development of the tools of decision support system (DSS) design automation and its distinct elements, namely model base management systems (MBMS). M...

on the basis of the steady-state two-dimensional theory of thermoelasticity, stress field around various holes in infinite isotropic plate is discussed. the plate is subjected to uniform heat flux and thermal insulated condition along the hole boundary is assumed. by using the complex potential functions and by applying the conformal mapping and solving the integral equations, the effect of blu...

Among the different notions of area in a Minkowski space, those due to Busemann and to Holmes and Thompson, respectively, have found particular attention. In recent papers it was shown that the Holmes-Thompson area is integral-geometric, in the sense that certain integral-geometric formulas of Croftontype, well known for the area in Euclidean space, can be carried over to Minkowski spaces and t...

As an emerging area considering behavioral aspects of decision making, target-oriented decision model lies in the philosophical root of bounded rationality as well as represents the S-shaped value function. This paper deals with multi-attribute decision analysis from target-oriented viewpoint. First, the basic (random) target-oriented decision model is extended to involve three types of target ...

In most of the multi–criteria decision–analysis (MCDA) problems in which the Choquet integral is used as aggregation function, the coefficients of Choquet integral (capacity) are not known in advance. Actually, they could be calculated by capacity definition methods. In these methods, the preference information of decision maker (DM) is used to constitute a possible solution space. ...

Size-dependent longitudinal and torsional vibrations of nano-beams are examined by two-phase mixture integral elasticity. A new and efficient elastodynamic model is conceived by convexly combining the local phase with strain- and stress-driven purely nonlocal phases. The proposed stress-driven nonlocal integral mixture leads to well-posed structural problems for any value of the scale parameter...

Decisions based on uncertain information may benefit from an accumulation of information over time. We asked whether such an accumulation process may underlie decisions about the direction of motion in a random dot kinetogram. To address this question we developed a computational model of the decision process using ensembles of neurons whose spiking activity mimics neurons recorded in the extra...
