Customers energy consumption pattern affects directly the grid burden, especially during peak hours. In recent years, many different control methods have been proposed to shift off-peak hours through demand response (DR) management. order effective DR management, optimization has a key role. Thus, increasing benefits for customers and encouraging them consider new controlling approaches in thei...

This paper describes classroom practices based on interacting with students through their mobile phones, using a minimum of dedicated technology. Students’ sense of proprietorship over such devices has led to results that continue to stimulate our current research efforts. The technologically impoverished teaching tactics first devised to fit technology available in the late nineties are still ...

This article reviews the iterative action research process of planning, acting, observing, reflecting and revisi...

There is much savings involved in the prevention of heat loss. Many structures exhibit such loss. Much can be done to improve or minimize the heat loss in a structure. These include interior and exterior modifications. It has been shown that heat can move by means of convection, conduction, and radiation. Problems with heat loss can be due to moisture, and poor construction techniques. There is...

In this article, by using fuzzy AHP and TOPSIS technique we propose a new method for project selection problem. After reviewing four common methods of comparing alternatives investment (net present value, rate of return, benefit cost analysis and payback period) we use them as criteria in AHP tree. In this methodology by utilizing improved Analytical Hierarchy Process by Fuzzy set theory, first...
