With electric vehicles becoming a more attractive alternative to combustion vehicles, they appear as new volatile loads in the low voltage distribution grids. Until now, they are at the best only considered rudimentarily in the planning process. This paper presents the modelling of electric vehicles as agents in a multi-agent simulation environment for planning purposes. Integrating a model of ...

The purpose of this study is designing a model based on Tobit regression, DEA, Artificial Neural Network, Genetic Algorithm and Particle Swarm Optimization to evaluate the efficiency and also benchmarking the efficient and inefficient units. This model has three stages, and it uses the data envelopment analysis combined model with neural network, optimized by genetic algorithm, to evaluate the ...

Glucose-mediated oxidative stress and alterations in cyclooxygenase (COX) pathway activity with secondary deficits of endoneurial perfusion have been implicated in the pathogenesis of experimental diabetic neuropathy (EDN). We have previously reported that activation of the COX-2 pathway is an important mediator of neurochemical and neurovascular defects in EDN in a rat model. Considering that ...

The efficacy of ethanedinitrile (EDN, syn. cyanogen, EDN Fumigas®) for the control of burnt pine longhorn beetle (Arhopalus ferus (Mulsant)) adults was tested using a range of ethanedinitrile concentrations. The LD 99 for adults after a 3 h exposure at 15°C was 12.6 g/m. The results demonstrate that ethanedinitrile is a potential phytosanitary alternative to methyl bromide for disinfesting burn...

Network reconfiguration is one of the electricity network optimization techniques for losses reduction and load balancing by changing the open-closed status of sectionalized switches. In this paper, an application of network reconfiguration in low-voltage (LV) domestic distribution network with high penetration of electric vehicles (EVs) is presented. Firstly, high resolution time-series domest...

Eosinophil-derived neurotoxin (EDN) found in the granules of human eosinophils is a cationic ribonuclease toxin. Expression of the EDN gene (RNS2) in eosinophils is dependent on proximal promoter sequences in combination with an enhancer located in the first intron. We further define here the active region of the intron using transfections in differentiated eosinophilic HL60 cells. We show that...

Random walk methods are used to calculate the moments of negative image equilibrium distributions in synaptic weight dynamics governed by spike-timing-dependent plasticity. The neural architecture of the model is based on the electrosensory lateral line lobe of mormyrid electric fish, which forms a negative image of the reafferent signal from the fish's own electric discharge to optimize detect...
