The short-term hydrothermal scheduling is a daily planning proposition in power system operation, a task which is usually more complex than the scheduling of all-thermal generation system. The classical iteration method involves time consuming three iterative loops for obtaining the optimal solution. This paper presents an analytical method for eliminating the two iterative loops of the classic...

Primates are able to localize a briefly flashed target despite intervening movements of the eyes, head or body. This ability, often referred to as updating, requires extra-retinal signals related to the intervening movement. With active roll rotations of the head from an upright position it has been shown that the updating mechanism is three-dimensional, robust and geometrically sophisticated. ...

Active translations of human subjects are nearly perfectly compensated by a combined rotation of both the eyes and the head. Because vestibuloocular reflex (VOR) gain is less than perfect during passive translations with near targets in head-fixed subjects, there is a possibility that the compensatory head rotation observed during natural behavior represents a vestibularly driven head reflex [t...

In this paper we study the human head movement, when the head shifts its orientation between two possible heading directions, as a simple mechanical control system. Head movements obey Donders’ constraint (as opposed to the Listing’s constraint for eye movement), which states that the allowed orientations of the head are obtained by rotating a fixed ‘primary heading direction’ by a subclass of ...

To maintain clear vision, the images on the retina must remain reasonably stable. Head movements are generally dealt with successfully by counter-rotation of the eyes induced by the combined actions of the vestibulo-ocular reflex (VOR) and the optokinetic reflex. A problem of importance relates to the value of the so-called intrinsic gain of the VOR (VORG) in man, and how this gain is modulated...

To correctly perceive visual directions relative to the head, one needs to compensate for the eye's orientation in the head. In this study we focus on compensation for the eye's torsion regarding objects that contain the line of sight and objects that do not pass through the fixation point. Subjects judged the location of flashed probe points relative to their binocular plane of regard, the mid...

A Monteggia fracture is a fracture of the proximal ulna coupled with a radial head dislocation. Numerous classification systems have been developed to characterize these fractures. Bado classification is most commonly used. Bado type 1 Monteggia fractures are most common while type 3 & 4 are rare entities. In our case, after confirming the diagnosis as type 4 Bado Monteggia fracture dislocation...
