This paper proposes a methodology for practical siting and sizing of Hybrid energy systems (HESs) consist of: wind turbine (WT), photovoltaic (PV) and combined heat and power (CHP) units. In this method, the interaction of Plug-in Electric Vehicles (PIEVs) in the electric distribution system is considered. Electric Vehicle are seen to have some negative impacts on electric distribution system p...

The application of nanoparticles in order to enhance the composites properties has been recently attracted many researchers' attentions. To increase the mechanical and physical properties of the composites, the nanoparticles have no significant effect on the weight and nanostructure of composites. One of the well-known nanoparticles is the Nanoclay (NC) that have been widely used in industries ...

Abstract OBJECTIVES Robotic-assisted oesophagectomy for cancer has been increasingly employed worldwide; however, the benefits of this technique compared to conventional minimally invasive are unclear. Since 2016, hybrid robotic (R-HMIE) replaced laparoscopic (HMIE) as standard care in our institution. The aim study was compare these procedures. METHODS Over a 10-year period, 686 patients under...

Estimation (Forecasting) of industrial production costs is one of the most important factor affecting decisions in the highly competitive markets. Thus, accuracy of the estimation is highly desirable. Hibrid Regression Neural Network is an approach proposed in this paper to obtain better fitness in comparison with Regression Analysis and the Neural Network methods. Comparing the estimated resul...

This paper investigates guaranteed methods for estimating feasible parameter sets when the system under study is modelled with ordinary differential equations (ODE). The issue is to find the set of parameters such that the solution of the ODE remains within specified intervals at known time-data points. These intervals correspond usually to measurement uncertainty. This is a set inversion probl...

the photocatalytic coatings were prepared via incorporating the modified titania nanoparticles into epoxy-based inorganic-organic hybrid coatings. titania nanoparticles were first synthesized from tetra-n-butyl titanate using sol-gel methods by two different calcination treatments, i.e., in mild condition (80°c) and 500°c. the formed anatase nanoparticles were further modified as titania-silica...
