This paper presents a Imperialist Competitive Algorithm (ICA) to seek the optimal number and location of FACTS devices in a power system. Unified Power Flow Controller (UPFC) has great flexibility that can control the active and reactive power flow and bus voltages, simultaneously. Decoupled model of the UPFC is applied to maximize the system loadability subject to the transmission line capacit...

Three approaches have been taken to the study of submarine debris flows. 1) Measurements laterally constrained debris flow dynamics and pore pressure variation have been performed in the “Fish Tank” facility. 2) The dynamics of unconfined debris flows have been studied using the “Main Channel.” 3) A numerical model of muddy debris flows is being extended to a) sandy debris flows and b) the rewo...

Much attention has been paid to the theoretical explanation of the empirical success of AdaBoost. The most influential work is the margin theory, which is essentially an upper bound for the generalization error of any voting classifier in terms of the margin distribution over the training data. However, important questions were raised about the margin explanation. Breiman (1999) proved a bound ...

This paper deals with the design opportunities of Static Random Access Memory (SRAM) for lower power Consumption and propagation delay .Here we have analyzed both read margin for read ability and write margin for SRAM write ability. Static Noise Margin affects both read margin and write margin. We have analyzed the Static Noise Margin using traditional butterfly method which requires the rotati...

The midline diastema is a space (or gap) between the maxillary central incisors . The space can be a normal growth characteristic during the primary and mixed dentition and generally is closed by the time the maxillary canines erupt. Researchers and clinicians now believe that multiple factors may contribute to a midline space including abnormal frenum, midline bony clefts ,oral habits, soft ti...

INTRODUCTION Among all prognostic factors, "margin status" is the only factor under clinician's control. Current guidelines describe histopathologic margin of >5 mm as "clear margin" and 1-5 mm as "close margin." Ambiguous description of positive margin in the published data resulted in comparison of microscopically "involved margin" and "close margin" together with "clear margin" in many publi...

Abstract The present work deals with the characterization of scratch resistance two different types coatings, i.e., chromium nitride (CrN) and diamond-like carbon prepared on X42Cr13/W (1.2083) plastic mold tool steel by physical vapor deposition plasma-enhanced chemical deposition, respectively. Our study focuses influence duplex treatment, plasma nitriding + ceramic coating steel. An advanced...
