Optimal expansion of medium-voltage power networks is a common issue in electrical distribution planning. Minimizing total cost of the objective function with technical constraints and reliability limits, make it a combinatorial problem which should be solved by optimization algorithms. This paper presents a new hybrid simulated annealing and tabu search algorithm for distribution network expan...

Approaches to machine intelligence based on brain models have stressed the use of neural networks for generalization. Here we propose the use of a hybrid neural network architecture that uses two kind of neural networks simultaneously: (i) a surface learning agent that quickly adapt to new modes of operation; and, (ii) a deep learning agent that is very accurate within a specific regime of oper...

Vitrimer has recently emerged as a polymer combining great processability, self-healing capability and high-temperature mechanical properties. Most of those salient features vitrimer originate from the existence dynamic covalent bonds in network. To further adjust behaviors vitrimer, regular have been mixed with to create hybrid Percolation theory predicts that, if are homogenously mixed, high ...

In this paper the multiple challenges for handovers in hybrid networks are discussed. Based on that a location-based handover for hybrid networks is evaluated. The handover takes into consideration the increased handover preparation time in hybrid networks, coming from the use of different air interfaces and the interoperation of different network providers. Also the security of the connection ...
