Abstract Tools purposed towards supporting the transition to more sustainable urban futures typically focus on specific phenomena at local level. Whilst such approaches remain valuable, there is a need complement this micro approach with broader integrated methods which deal interaction between different components as well their relation processes and policies enacted higher scales. Through ada...

the paper tries to present an improved mathematical model for distribution companies (discos) in order to solve distribution network expansion planning (dnep) problems in the presence of certain resources of distributed generations (dgs) entitled small scale gas engines in the medium voltage grids. with the aim of minimizing investment and operation costs, the recommended model combines a compr...

In this research, a bi-objective model is developed to deal with a supply chain including multiple suppliers, multiple manufacturers, and multiple customers, addressing a multi-site, multi-period, multi-product aggregate production planning (APP) problem. This bi-objective model aims to minimize the total cost of supply chain including inventory costs, manufacturing costs, work force costs, hir...

We present a new concept for multi-compartment emulation on neuromorphic hardware based on the BrainScaleS wafer-scale system. The implementation features complex dendrite routing capabilities, realistic scaling of compartmental parameters and active spike propagation. Simulations proof the circuit’s capability of reproducing passive dendritic properties of a model from literature.

Existing research mainly fucus on organization and visualization of 3D building models in circumstances which are the main spatial objects, yet multi-scale representation of geometry and texture information still not taken into account, especially multi-scale transmission suitable for the network environment is a key point needed to be break. Thus, an organization method for multi-scale 3D mode...

a few of the presented soil behavior models are capable of predicting the triggering and post liquefaction and also shear band mechanism through the soil media. the assessment of earth-dam body behavior as a soil structure made of cohesive soil in core and non-cohesive soil as the core supports, including water interaction at upstream through earthquake upon a multi-line constitutive equations ...
