reliability evaluation of a large-scale composite power system faces to numerous events/outage and consequently imposes an extensive burden of calculations. in order to simplify the problem, determination of an equivalent system for large-scale power system is inevitable. this paper proposes a framework as reduction technique to separate a composite power system to three areas: external area, o...

Extended Abstract. In recent years, needs for small area estimations have been greatly increased for large surveys particularly household surveys in Sta­ tistical Centre of Iran (SCI), because of the costs and respondent burden. The lack of suitable auxiliary variables between two decennial housing and popula­ tion census is a challenge for SCI in using these methods. In general, the...

This paper considers Riemannian metrics on two dimensional disks where all geodesics are minimizing. A sharp reverse isoperimetric inequality is proven. This in turn yields near optimal bounds for the area of disks as well as near optimal upper bounds on the first nonzero Neumann eigenvalue of the Laplacian in terms only of the radius.

‎Small area estimates have received much attention from both private and public sectors due to the growing demand for effective planning of health services‎, ‎apportioning of government funds and policy and decision making‎. ‎Surveys are generally designed to give representative estimates at national or district level‎, ‎but estimates of variables of interest are oft...

This paper presents a study on image pixels using block positioning pixel subtraction technique to analyse the changes that occur in that region of interest. The changes that happen in the pixels represent the motion translation. Processing a whole video sequence in order to view a certain area of interest will increase the computational and processing time. In order to avoid this situation, th...
