Under the smart grid environments, Demand Response Resources (DRRs) as power system resources can effectively participate in and improve performance of electric systems. Congestion management is one of the technical challenges in which DRRs can play a significant role. Previously, congestion management is applied without considering the power system uncertainties. Therefore, a stochastic conges...

During the last years, the concept of input congestion and technical ineff-ciency in data envelopment analysis (DEA), have been investigated by manyresearchers. The motivation of this paper is to present models which obtain thedecreased output value due to input congestion and technical ineciency. More-over, we extend the models to estimate input congestion, technical ineciencyand output reduct...

We consider the problem of a robot inside an unknown polygon that has to nd a path from a starting point s to a target point t. We assume that it is equipped with an on-board vision system through which it can get the visibility map of its surroundings. Furthermore, we assume that the robot is contained in a simple polygon that belongs to the class of generalized streets. We consider three prob...

We define an elliptic equation for Hermitian metrics which is related to the Einstein condition. Solutions to this equation are closely related to Kähler-Einstein metrics, and are automatically Kähler-Einstein when a certain non-positive condition is satisfied by c1(M). Given this, a natural flow equation arises taking Hermitian metrics to Kähler metrics. We prove short time existence and regul...

Active Queue Management (AQM) plays an important role in the Internet congestion control. It tries to enhance congestion control, and to achieve tradeoff between bottleneck utilization and delay. Random Early Detection (RED) is the most popular active queue management algorithm that has been implemented in the in Internet routers and is trying to supply low delay and low packet loss. RED al...

Congestion and overloading for lines are the main problems in the exploitation of power grids. The consequences of these problems in deregulated systems can be mentioned as sudden jumps in prices in some parts of the power system, lead to an increase in market power and reduction of competition in it. FACTS devices are efficient, powerful and economical tools in controlling power flows through ...

“a city can be read through its streets”. stéphane douady, professor of dynamics of out-of-equilibrium systems in paris diderot university began his speech with these words. he continued by explaining the significance of the street structure: “when we think of a city, we first think of the houses. while they can be replaced when destroyed or abandoned, the streets remain stable”. dr. douady’s m...
