The main asset of this paper is among the uses of fuzzy logic in the engineering sector and especially in the renewable energies as a large alternate of fossil energies, in this paper a PSO-based optimization is used to find the optimal scaling parameters, of a fuzzy logic-based MPPT controller, that maximize the efficiency of a photovoltaic pumping system. The tuning of input and output parame...

This study aims to analyze the relationship between investment and economic growth project needs in Maluku Province using Incremental Capital-Output Ratio (ICOR) by sector district/city. Standard method, accumulation time lag (lag 1) were applied obtain ICOR. While projection of uses ICOR values obtained, target set Provincial Government implicit index as a proxy for price changes. The results ...

Translated to a cross-country context, the Solow model (Solow, 1956) predicts that international differences in steady state output per person are due to international differences in technology for a constant capital output ratio. However, most of the cross-country growth literature that refers to the Solow model has employed a specification where steady state differences in output per person a...

application of cellulosic fibers and minerals of deinked waste paper sludge has a great impression on utilization and characteristics of final product. this study was designed to produce use gypsum-fiber board from the dip sludge. the gypsum: sludge ratio was considered as 100:0, 90:10, 80:20, 70:30 and 60:40. two types of gypsum boards were prepared with fixed 12 mm thickness and cold pressing...

The variance ratio function, derived from the contribution to sample variance (CSV) plot, is a regional sensitivity index for studying how much the output deviates from the original mean of model output when the distribution range of one input is reduced and to measure the contribution of different distribution ranges of each input to the variance of model output. In this paper, the revised mea...

In this work, a non-isolated high step up DC-DC converter using coupled inductor and voltage multiplier cell is proposed. The proposed converter conversion ratio is efficiently extended by using a coupled inductor. An interleaved configuration of two diode-capacitor cells is applied to step up the voltage conversion ratio and decrease the voltage stress across the switches. Also, in the suggest...

In this paper, the financial efficiency of football clubs in English Premier League during 2016-17 season is determined. From a methodological perspective, we use Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA), a deterministic nonparametric frontier method. In particular, variable returns to scale and slack based measure are employed to assess whether teams are spending more resources than they need to achiev...

W HAT 15 the caloric equivalent of one pound of body weight, gained or lost ? To put the question in other words : How many cabnies in excess of the amount necessary to mriaintam caloric equilibrium will produce a gain of one pound of body weight ; conversely, what caloric deficit will determine a loss of one pound of body weight? It is strange that a marked diversity of opinion exists among au...
