This book consists of 14 chapters covering important aspects in regards to various terrestrial ecosystems, wetlands, river systems, mine site rehabilitation, marsh ecology and heavy metals pollution. Also aims to fill some of the information gaps in ecological restoration, particularly in under-researched ecosystems around the world. Restoration ecology emerged as a separate field in ecology in...

Power distribution systems are subject to faults that may cause damage the grid and electric service interruptions. The outage impact can be attenuated by a restoration procedure reconfigures until faulted component repaired. Proposals for this usually either fully centralized or decentralized. In paper, hybrid approach (partially decentralized) problem based on multi-agent system (MAS) is prop...

dThe presented effort is aimed at establishing a the blurring caused by strong scattering due to water and its framework in order to restore underwater imagery to the best constituents which includes various sized particles. To properly possible level, working with both simulated and field measured address this issue, knowledge of in-water optical properties and data. Under this framework, the ...

This paper studies the joint damage assessment and recovery of the power infrastructure after a natural disaster has occurred. Earlier work in this area proposed an optimization algorithm for the recovery phase, assuming that the infrastructure damage was known precisely. This paper lifts this assumption which does not always hold in practice. It proposes three approaches to this problem: An on...

Given a configuration of parameters that satisfies a set of constraints, and given external changes that change and fix the value of some parameters making the configuration invalid, the problem of interactive reconfiguration is to assist a user to interactively reassign a subset of the parameters to reach a consistent configuration again. In this paper, we present two BDD-based algorithms for ...

A circuit technique to correct Vdd/PM distortion and improve efficiency as supply modulation of cascode class-E PAs has been proposed. The experimental result shows that the phase distortion can be improved from 20 degrees to 5 degrees. Moreover, a system co-simulation result demonstrated that the EVM can be improved from −17 dB to −19 dB. key words: envelope elimination and restoration (EER), ...
