the power supply of remote sites and applications at minimal cost and with low emissions is an important issue when discussing future energy concepts. this paper presents modeling and optimization of a photovoltaic (pv)/wind/diesel system with batteries storage for electrification to an off-grid remote area located in rafsanjan, iran. for this location, different hybrid systems are studied and ...

In 2010–2012, the hydrogeological model (HM) of Latvia (LAMO) was developed by scientists of Riga Technical University (RTU). The model generalizes geological and hydrogeological information accumulated by the Latvian Environment, Geology and Meteorology Center (LEGMC). LAMO simulates the active groundwater zone that provides drinking water. The worldwide used commercial program Groundwater Vis...

BACKGROUND Linking animal movements to landscape features is critical to identify factors that shape the spatial behaviour of animals. Habitat selection is led by behavioural decisions and is shaped by the environment, therefore the landscape is crucial for the analysis. Land cover classification based on ground survey and remote sensing data sets are an established approach to define landscape...

Principal purpose of RENAM is a contiguous development of communication and information infrastructure of the scientific and educational community of the Republic of Moldova, creation of appropriate conditions for permanent network development for science and education by means of collaborated efforts of scientific and educational institutions; providing access to the national and foreign datab...

A study on future large accelerators [1] has considered a facility, which is designed, built and operated by a worldwide collaboration of equal partner institutions, and which is remote from most of these institutions. All operation modes were considered including trouble shooting, development, commissioning, maintenance, and repair. Experience from existing accelerators shows that most of thes...

The Naturally-Transitioning Rate-to-Force Controller (NTRFC) is presented for remote teleoperation of manipulators. Our goal is to provide a single controller which handles free motion, constrained motion, and the transition in-between without any artificial changes. In free motion the displacement of the master device (via the human operator’s hand) is proportional to the commanded Cartesian r...

The alternative to the replica procedure, which we call the noncommutative replica procedure, is discussed. The detailed comparison with the standard replica procedure is performed.
