in this paper, an efficient and comprehensive hybrid intelligent technique for the optimal placement of phasor measurement units (pmus) is proposed to minimize the number of pmu installation subjected to full network observability. three main purposes of pmus output synchronous measurements are monitoring, control, and protection of power system. we have combined binary imperialistic competitio...

job shop scheduling problem has significant importance in many researchingfields such as production management and programming and also combinedoptimizing. job shop scheduling problem includes two sub-problems: machineassignment and sequence operation performing. in this paper combination ofparticle swarm optimization algorithm (pso) and gravitational search algorithm(gsa) have been presented f...

in this paper, we have proposed a new algorithm which combines pso and ga in such a way that the new algorithm is more effective and efficient.the particle swarm optimization (pso) algorithm has shown rapid convergence during the initial stages of a global search but around global optimum, the search process will become very slow. on the other hand, genetic algorithm is very sensitive to the in...

This note deals with aggregate models for complex distillation systems in largescale flowsheets. Group methods were originally devised for simple absorber and stripper calculations with no major extensions for handling distillation. In this work, group methods are systematically analyzed and further improved by modifying some of the previously proposed approximations. As a result, the improved ...

We suggest a new, renormalization group (RG) based, nonperturbative method for treating the intermittency problem of fully developed turbulence which also includes the effects of a finite boundary of the turbulent flow. The key idea is not to try to construct an elimination procedure based on some assumed statistical distribution, but to make an ansatz for possible RG transformations and to pos...

The existence of a singularity by definition implies a preferred scale—the affine parameter distance from/to the singularity of a causal geodesic that is used to define it. However, this variable scale is also captured by the expansion along the geodesic, and this can be used to obtain a regularized state space picture by means of a conformal transformation that factors out the expansion. This ...

We briefly review the AdS3/CFT2 correspondence and the holographic issues that arise in the Penrose limit. Exploiting current algebra techniques, developped by D’Appollonio and Kiritsis for the closely related Nappi-Witten model, we obtain preliminary results for bosonic string amplitudes in the resulting Hpp-wave background and comment on how to extend them to the superstring. The AdS3/CFT2 ho...

We numerically investigate the radial dependence of the velocity and temperature fluctuations and of the time-averaged heat flux j ¯(r) in a cylindrical Rayleigh-Bénard cell with aspect ratio Γ=1 for Rayleigh numbers Ra between 2×10^{6} and 2×10^{9} at a fixed Prandtl number Pr=5.2. The numerical results reveal that the heat flux close to the sidewall is larger than in the center and that, just...

We describe finite temperature N = 4 superstrings in D = 5 by an effective fourdimensional supergravity of the thermal winding modes that can become tachyonic and trigger the instabilities at the Hagedorn temperature. Using a domain-wall ansatz, exact solutions to special BPS-type first order equations are found. They preserve half of the supersymmetries, contrary to the standard perturbative s...
