Abstract In an increasingly decentralized energy system with tight interdependencies heat and electricity markets, prosumers, who act both as consumers producers at the interface between are becoming important operational flexibility providers. Policy-makers market operators need a better understanding of motivations behavior prosumers in order to harness their underlying flexibility. that cont...

In this paper stator current during crawling of induction motor has been assessed. Three phase current signals have been transformed into Clarke plane. Specific reference signals having sinusoidal nature and different frequencies have been defined and then areas formed by the real system data with the reference signal have been determined, wherefrom individual contributions of fundamental wavef...

Without monetary payments, the Gibbard-Satterthwaite theorem proves that under mild requirements all truthful social choice mechanisms must be dictatorships. When payments are allowed, the Vickrey-Clarke-Groves mechanism truthfully implements the value-maximizing choices, assuming agents’ utilities are quasi-linear in money. We study social choice with payments where utilities are non-quasi-lin...

Credit for the initial invention of the gas blowpipe has been marked by an unusually large amount of controversy (1), involving bitter charges of plagiarism and intellectual dishonesty. An example of this involves the American chemist Robert Hare,1781-1858 (2), who claimed that Edward Clarke, Professor of Mineralogy at Cambridge University (3), had falsely taken credit for the invention of the ...

The aim of this paper is to introduce a new proximal double bundle method for unconstrained nonsmooth DC optimization, where the objective function is presented as a difference of two convex (DC) functions. The novelty in our method is a new stopping procedure guaranteeing Clarke stationarity for solutions by utilizing only DC components of the objective function. This optimality condition is s...

In mechanism design, the gold standard solution concepts are dominant strategy incentive compatibility and Bayesian incentive compatibility. These solution concepts relieve the (possibly unsophisticated) bidders from the need to engage in complicated strategizing. While incentive properties are simple to state, their proofs are specific to the mechanism and can be quite complex. This raises two...

5'-Phosphoribosyl-5-aminoimidazole synthetase (EC 6.3.3.1), encoded by the purM gene of Escherichia coli, catalyzes the synthesis of 5'-phosphoribosyl-5-aminoimidazole from 5'-phosphoribosylformylglycinamidine. The purM gene was subcloned from the Clarke and Carbon (Clarke, L., and Carbon, J. (1976) Cell 9, 91-99) plasmid pLC1-41 and the nucleotide sequence determined. The mature protein, as de...

Background in music performance research For the past few decades there has been considerable scientific interest in expression in music performance (Gabrielsson, 2003). A particularly relevant aspect of music performance is expressive timing, that is, the fluctuations of tempo during a performance. Accordingly, expressive timing has been one of the major topics in music performance research. A...
