This paper introduced a method using hybrid combination of network restructuring and optimal placement optimally sized distributed generators (DG) to reduce loss improve voltage profile in practical transmission for scenario high load demand period ten years. A study is performed four cases which includes the test without considering DG restructuring, units proposed grid parameter oriented harm...

Our purpose is to indicate a new method for determining the control limits of univariate control charts to show the effectiveness of golden ratios search. We examine a solution to a problem when signals from mean and variance charts differ. Lack of concordance in the signals from mean and variance (or standard deviation) control charts bring confusion to Quality Control managers which in turn m...

Over the past decade, Group Support Systems (GSS) has shown that, under certain circumstances, teams using GSS can be far more productive than teams who do not use GSS. However, research results are not unequivocal; they have been ambiguous, and sometimes conflicting, which makes it difficult for GSS research to inform GSS practice. One cause of the conflict and ambiguity in GSS research result...

Certain convergent search algorithms can be turned into chaotic dynamic systems by renormalisation back to a standard region at each iteration. This allows the machinery of ergodic theory to be used for a new probabilistic analysis of their behaviour. Rates of convergence can be redefined in terms of various entropies and ergodic characteristics (Kolmogorov and Re!nyi entropies and Lyapunov exp...

Applying the concept of fuzzy logic (an abstract version of Boolean logic) to well-known algorithms generates an abstract version (i.e., fuzzy algorithm) that often results in computational improvements. Precision may be reduced but counteracted by gaining computational efficiency. The trade-offs (e.g., small increase in space, loss of precision) for a variety of applications are deemed accepta...

The authors apologize that an error in Fig. 1 and in the Results section were printed in the original paper. The error resulted from a mistake in translation of the nucleotide sequence of MRG-1 cDNA. The amino acid residues 215–217 of MRG-1 in Fig. 1 should be changed from FQG to GSS. Accordingly, “(F215 and Q216)” in the Results section (Page 62, right column, line 20) should be changed to “(S...

This paper takes one meta-analytic approach to reviewing the body of Group Support Systems (GSS) literature. Over 230 GSS papers were examined, and of the 55 that measured satisfaction, 25 met the conditions for this meta-analysis. Moderating effects examined are the type of satisfaction, the level and mode of communication, and the task type. The results show no evidence that, overall, GSS-sup...

This paper presents a WWW-based Group Support System (GSS) to facilitate the teaching/learning process. This paper also describes our experiences over four successive editions of a pilot course offered using the GSS. We show the methodologies used and draw some results, experiences and impressions from this experience. We further describe planned future research, including discussion of the pos...

GSH synthesis occurs through a two-step enzymatic reaction driven by GCL (glutamate-cysteine ligase; made up of catalytic and modifying subunits) and GSS (glutathione synthetase). In humans, oxidative stress regulates GCL expression in an antioxidant response element-dependent manner via Nrf2 [NFE (nuclear factor erythroid)-related factor 2]. In the rat, GSS and GCL are regulated co-ordinately ...

Voting tools have been incorporated into Group Support Systems (GSS) for a long time. However, theory and research on voting in GSS have been neglected. This paper reviews findings of GSS research on voting and examines the lessons learned on using voting tools in GSS. A framework is proposed to investigate voting in GSS. Additionally, directions for future research are discussed
