Abstract The site of Jebel Moya, situated in the center southern Gezira Plain southcentral Sudan, has an occupational sequence spanning at least five millennia until around 2000 years ago. Renewed excavation is shedding new light on its chronology and socioeconomic history, including activities such as burial, savanna herding, domesticated sorghum cultivation practices dating to mid-third mille...

This paper proposes an MPC - based (model predictive control) scheme to control active and reactive powers of DERs (distributed energy resources) in a grid - connected mode (either through a bus with its associated loads as a PCC (point of common coupling) or an MG (micro - grid)). DER may be a DG (distributed generation) or an ESS (energy storage system). In the proposed scheme, the set - poin...

In this paper, for the numerical approximation of random partial differential equations (RPDEs) of parabolic type, an explicit higher order finite difference scheme is constructed. In continuation the main properties of deterministic difference schemes, i.e. consistency, stability and convergency are developed for the random cases. It is shown that the proposed random difference scheme has thes...

A novel and robust scheme for radix-4 Booth scheme implemented in Carbon Nanotube Field-Effect Transistor (CNTFET) technology has been presented in this paper. The main advantage of the proposed scheme is its improved speed performance compared with previous designs. With the help of modifications applied to the encoder section using Pass Transistor Logic (PTL), the corresponding capacitances o...

Performance assessment is exceedingly considered a key concept in teacher education programs worldwide. Accordingly, in Iran, a national assessment system was proposed by Farhangian University to assess the professional competencies of its ELT graduates. The concerns regarding the validity and authenticity of traditional measures of teachers' competencies have motivated us to devise a localized...

In this paper, we consider a second-order singularly perturbed differential-difference equations with mixed delay and advance parameters. At first, we approximate the model problem by an upwind finite difference scheme on a Shishkin mesh. We know that the upwind scheme is stable and its solution is oscillation free, but it gives lower order of accuracy. So, to increase the convergence, we propo...

The coast of Bangladesh has a specialty in terms of high bending and many off- shore islands. Incorporation of the coastline and island boundaries properly in the numerical scheme is essential for accurate estimation of water levels due to surge. For that purpose a numerical scheme consisting of very fine mesh is required along the coastal belt, whereas this is unnecessary away from the coast. In...

A sequential implicit numerical scheme is proposed for a system of partial differential equations defining the transport of heat and mass in the channel flow of a variable-viscosity fluid. By adopting the backward difference scheme for time derivative and the central difference scheme for the spatial derivatives, an implicit finite difference scheme is formulated. The variable-coefficient diffu...

â  performance and capacity of sulfur recovery unit (sru) are greatly affected by the h2s:co2 ratio of the acid gas stream. the acid gases in iran contain around 35 mol% h2s and 60 mol% co2. this low concentration of h2s calls for more complex sulfur plant, larger equipments, and higher costs. acid gas enrichment processes (age) is run to upgrade low quality acid gas collected from gas treating...

The identification protocol is a type of zero-knowledge proof. One party (the prover) needs to prove his identity another verifier) without revealing the secret key verifier. can apply Fiat–Shamir transformation convert an scheme into signature which be used for achieving security purposes and cryptographic purposes, especially authentication. In this paper, we recall protocol, namely RankID sc...
