in this paper, first, a new criterion, titled “surplus percent of the customers” is defined for static transmission expansion planning in restructured power systems. then by a simple example, the new criterion is compared with some already presented market-based criteria and it is shown that the new criterion can realistically evaluate the transmission network expansion from the market view. in...

In this paper, the Bernstein polynomials are used to approximate the solutions of linear integral equations with multiple time lags (IEMTL) through expansion methods (collocation method, partition method, Galerkin method). The method is discussed in detail and illustrated by solving some numerical examples. Comparison between the exact and approximated results obtained from these methods is car...

Query expansion is a well-known method for improving average effectiveness in information retrieval. However, the most effective query expansion methods rely on costly retrieval and processing of feedback documents. We explore alternative methods for reducing queryevaluation costs, and propose a new method based on keeping a brief summary of each document in memory. This method allows query exp...

This paper proposes a hybrid query expansion method named GAO, which derives from the fact that more and more documents have been annotated with one or several ontology concepts based on their semantic. The GAO method employs a combination of global analysis and ontology technology to improve query expansion performance. Experimental results of query expansion shows, comparing with traditional ...

Web search engines are one of the most popular tools on the Internet which are widely-used by expert and novice users. Constructing an adequate query which represents the best specification of users’ information need to the search engine is an important concern of web users. Query expansion is a way to reduce this concern and increase user satisfaction. In this paper, a new method of query expa...

Query expansion adds related words to a user query in order to improve retrieval results. It’s an important step in information retrieval. Most of current query expansion methods pay attention to specific expansion strategies or algorithms, while neglecting the query itself. In reaction to the phenomenon, a multistrategy query expansion method based on semantics was proposed. This method starte...

in this research, a novel method to decrease micro-residual stresses of fibrous composites by adding carbon nanotubes (cnts) is proposed in detail. the negative coefficient of thermal expansion and the high young’s modulus of cnts can be utilized to counterbalance the process induced residual stresses in composites. to this end, first, the effects of adding cnts to the matrix of fibrous composi...

In this paper, using modified FF-expansion method, we present some explicit formulas of exact traveling wave solutions for the foam drainage equation. A modified FF-expansion method is proposed by taking full advantages of FF-expansion method and Riccati equation in seeking exact solutions of non-linear partial differential equations.
