Nowadays the position of the renewable energy is so important because of the environment pollution and the limitation of fossil fuels in the world. Energy can be generated more and more by the renewable sources, but the fossil fuels are non-renewable. One of the most important renewable sources is the wind energy. The wind energy is an appropriate alternative source of fossil fuel. The replacem...

Nowadays generation capacity in traditional grid depends on fossil fuels and contributes significantly to the increase of pollution emission. In deregulated grids in addition to using demand response programs (DRPs) to reducing the cost of electricity production, peak clipping and improve reliability use of green Plants such as hydro plant, wind plant become widespread. In a smart grid, end use...

Nonaqueous magnesium−oxygen (or “Mg-air”) batteries are attractive next generation energy storage devices due to their high theoretical energy densities, projected low cost, and potential for rechargeability. Prior experiments identified magnesium oxide, MgO, and magnesium peroxide, MgO2, as the primary discharge products in a Mg/O2 cell. Charge transport within these nominally insulating compo...

We analyze the influence of increases in airport capacity and the entry of low-cost carriers on airline competition. We use parametric and non-parametric techniques to analyze a sample of Spanish routes. We find that capacity increases in large airports produce more competitive airline conduct only in routes departing from non-hub airports. Also, we find that the natural monopoly threshold decr...

nowadays, in consideration of environmental issues and limitation of fossil fuels, there is a particular consideration of renewable energy including ocean energy, that can extracted going through various methods such as wave energy, tidal energy, salinity gradient, otec: ocean thermal energy conversion.herein this research, operation of otec method in southern caspian sea has been discussed. fo...

PURPOSE To evaluate the effect of patient cost-sharing on oral diabetes medication adherence and glycemic control. DESIGN Retrospective observational study. METHODOLOGY Medical and pharmacy claims from a managed care plan and electronic medical records (EMR) from a large physician organization in Oregon were used to identify a cohort with diabetes. Medication adherence and mean patient cost...
