Individuals with a transfemoral amputation (TFA) may experience limitations in daily life due to reduced mobility and prosthesis-related problems. An osseointegrated prosthesis fixation (OPF) procedure in amputees might contribute to a solution for patients with short stumps or socket-related problems. To date, no study has specifically described the application of an OPF procedure in individua...

Enterprise-wide, web-based systems can be assisted in their construction by the use of agents and an agentoriented methodology. As part of an extensive research programme to create such an AO methodology by combining the benefits of method engineering and existing object-oriented frameworks (notably the OPF), we have analysed here contributions to the OPF repository of process components from t...

The aim of the paper is to present the centralized architecture for power balancing management in an HVDC, High Voltage Direct Current, grid connecting different AC areas with high penetration of variable energy resources. Such a centralized high level DC Supervisory Control (DCSC) that functions in slower time scale compared to outer level controller has been evaluated in a real time co-simula...

This data article presents data associated with the research article entitled "Evaluation of cell-laden polyelectrolyte hydrogels incorporating poly(L-lysine) for applications in cartilage tissue engineering" (Lam et al., 2016) [1]. Synthetic hydrogel composites fabricated using oligo(poly(ethylene glycol) fumarate) (OPF) macromers were utilized as vehicles for the incorporation of poly(L-lysin...

This paper presents a new application and evaluation of the Optimum-Path Forest (OPF) classifier to accomplish synthetic material porosity segmentation and quantification obtained from optical microscopic images. Sample images of a synthetic material were analyzed and the quality of the results was confirmed by human visual analysis. Additionally, the OPF results were compared against two diffe...

Stability is an important constraint in power system operation; the transient stability constrained optimal power flow (TSCOPF) has a considerable attention in recent years. The solution obtained from the conventional optimal power flow (OPF), which considers only the static constraints, does not guarantee transient stability in the system against possible contingencies such as line fault. In t...

This article introduces modern optimization models and solution methods for two fundamental decision making problems in electric power system operations, the optimal power flow (OPF) problem and the unit commitment (UC) problem. The article surveys some of the most recent advances, including global optimization techniques for exact solution of the OPF problem, adaptive robust optimization model...

We present here a novel framework for graph-based pattern recognition techniques called Optimum-Path Forest (OPF), which has been demonstrated to be superior than traditional supervised pattern recognition techniques, such as Artificial Neural Networks using Multilayer Perceptrons and Support Vector Machines, in terms of both accuracy and execution times. The OPF-based classifiers model the pro...

A stochastic optimal power flow (S-OPF) model considering uncertainties of load and wind power is developed based on chance constrained programming (CCP). The difficulties in solving the model are the nonlinearity and probabilistic constraints. In this paper, a limit relaxation approach and an iterative learning control (ILC) method are implemented to solve the S-OPF model indirectly. The limit...

Optimal Prime Fields (OPFs) are considered to be one of the best choices for lightweight elliptic curve cryptography implementation on resource-constraint embedded processors. In this paper, we revisit efficient implementation of the modular arithmetic over the special prime fields, and present improved implementation of modular multiplication for OPFs, called Optimal Prime Field Coarsely Integ...
