This manuscript suggests quasi-oppositional fast convergence evolutionary programming (QOFCEP) technique to determine short-term generation scheduling of fixed head hydrothermal system comprising pumped storage hydro plants (PSHPs), solar PV (SPVPs) and wind turbine generators (WTGs) with demand response program (DRP). PSHPs are used power (FHPPs), thermal generating units (TGUs), SPVPs WTGs op...

In this paper, an anomaly detection method in cluster-based mobile ad hoc networks with ad hoc on demand distance vector (AODV) routing protocol is proposed. In the method, the required features for describing the normal behavior of AODV are defined via step by step analysis of AODV and independent of any attack. In order to learn the normal behavior of AODV, a fuzzy averaging method is used fo...

statement of problem: the connector area is the weakest zone of an all-ceramic fixed partial denture (fpd), where most catastrophic failures of the prostheses tend to occur. purpose: the aim of the present study was to assess the effect of the convergence angle of abutments on the fracture resistance of three-unit fixed partial dentures made of ips-empress2. materials and methods: forty extract...
