This report is a summary of the Third International Workshop on the Verification Of modeL Transformation (VOLT 2014) held at the STAF 2014 conference. The workshop brought together researchers from model-driven engineering, in particular from model transformation language engineering and modelbased verification. The major aims of VOLT 2014 were to identify motivations, problems, and requirement...

The connection of distributed energy resources (DERs) to distribution feeders can significantly increase the operational flexibility system operators. Local feedback control schemes (such as Volt/VAr droop curves) are a cheap, scalable, and communication-free solution DERs in active grids. However, these controllers interfere detrimentally with each other when they act on multiple connected sam...

Previously, quality control and improvement researchers discussed multivariate control charts for independent processes and univariate control charts for autocorrelated processes separately. We combine the two topics and propose vector autoregressive (VAR) control charts for multivariate autocorrelated processes. In addition, we estimateAR(p) models instead ofARMAmodels for the systematic cause...

A highly sensitive volt-ampere characteristics detecting system was applied to measure the volt-ampere curves of nine acupuncture points, LU9, HT7, LI4, PC6, ST36, SP6, KI3, LR3, and SP3, and corresponding nonacupuncture points bilaterally from 42 healthy volunteers. Electric currents intensity was increased from 0 μA to 20 μA and then returned to 0 μA again. The results showed that the volt-am...

Recently, numerous data-driven approaches to control an electric grid using machine learning techniques have been investigated. Reinforcement (RL)-based provide a credible alternative conventional, optimization-based solvers especially when there is uncertainty in the environment, such as renewable generation or cyber system performance. Efficiently training agent, however, requires interaction...

This paper develops a novel two-stage coordinated volt-pressure optimization (VPO) for integrated energy systems (IES) networked with hubs considering renewable sources. The promising power-to-gas (P2G) facilities are used improving the interdependency of IES. proposed VPO contains traditional volt-VAR functionality to mitigate voltage deviation while ensuring satisfying gas quality due hydroge...

| A CMOS interface circuit to transfer a digital signal between two circuits of di erent supply voltages is described. The interface can be used, for example, between 3 volt and 5 volt or higher voltage families. The principal characteristics of the interface circuit are: no static power dissipation, high speed, and high speed bu ering [1].

Traditional literature on statistical quality control discusses separately multivariate control charts for independent processes and univariate control charts for autocorrelated processes. We extend univariate residual monitoring to the multivariate environment, and propose using vector autoregressive residuals (VAR) to monitor multivariate processes in the presence of serial correlation. We ma...

Value at Risk (VaR) has emerged in recent years as a standard tool to measure and control the risk of trading portfolios. Yet, existing theoretical analyses of the optimal behavior of a trader subject to VaR limits have produced a negative view of VaR as a risk-control tool. In particular, VaR limits have been found to induce increased risk exposure in some states and an increased probability o...

OBJECTIVE Reduced heart rate variability (HRV) is classically viewed as an early phenomenon in diabetic sensorimotor polyneuropathy (DSP). We aimed to determine the characteristics of HRV across the spectrum of clinical DSP in type 1 diabetes. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Eighty-nine diabetic subjects and 60 healthy volunteers underwent assessment of RR interval variation (RR(var)) during deep...
