Interest has risen among utilities in using natural ester (NE) insulating oils in transformers as a substitute for conventional mineral oil. However, present understanding on aging behaviour of NE-paper composite insulation system and knowledge on application of existing condition monitoring tools for NE-based insulation are inadequate. This limits the cost effective and reliable field applicat...

Delay-Differential Equations (DDEs) are the most common representation for systems with delay. However, DDE is limited. In network models delay, delayed channels low-dimensional and accounting this heterogeneity not possible in framework. addition, DDEs cannot be used to model difference equations. Furthermore, estimation control of format has proven challenging, despite decades study. paper, w...

Low-carbon economic development is at the heart of post-pandemic green recovery scheme worldwide. It requires without compromising on environment, implying a critical role that productivity plays in achieving carbon neutrality goal. Green measures quality growth with consideration for energy consumption and environmental pollution. This study employs slacks-based measure directional distance fu...

This paper demonstrates how Probability Collectives (PC), a powerful new framework for distributed optimisation, can be used to coordinate sensing actions in a decentralised sensor network. In particular, a sensor-to-target assignment problem is investigated. Decentralised data fusion (DDF) is an efficient way to share and fuse information about target positions over a sensor network. PC is an ...

A new class of nonlinear filters called Vector Median Rational Hybrid Filters (VMRHF) for multispectral image processing is introduced and applied to color image filtering problems. These filters are based on Rational Functions (RF). The VMRHF filter is a two-stage filter, which exploits the features of the vector median filter and those of the rational operator. The filter output is a result o...
