more than half of the area of the country are rangelands. implementing the principles of proper rangeland management and optimal use of rangeland requires proper stock grazing management. considering the quality and quantity of forage plants, palatability and preference value of species and rates of species utilization are information needed for proper management of livestock grazing in rangela...

This paper presents a method for the optimal siting, and sizing of energy storage systems (ESSs) in active distribution networks (ADNs) to achieve their dispatchability. The problem formulation accounts uncertainty inherent stochastic nature distributed sources, loads. Thanks operation ESSs, main optimization objective is minimize dispatch error, which mismatch between realization, prediction p...

Following the calculation of optimal energy transfer in thermal environment in our first paper [J. L. Wu, F. Liu, Y. Shen, J. S. Cao, and R. J. Silbey, New J. Phys. 12, 105012 (2010)], full quantum dynamics and leading-order "classical" hopping kinetics are compared in the seven-site Fenna-Matthews-Olson (FMO) protein complex. The difference between these two dynamic descriptions is due to high...

UNLABELLED Fentanyl reduces the amount of propofol necessary to prevent responses to surgical stimuli. However, opioids have relatively little effect on consciousness. We, therefore, tested the hypothesis that fentanyl minimally alters the effect-site concentration of propofol associated with awakening. Fifty women having gynecologic laparotomy with propofol anesthesia were randomly allocated i...

Rising awareness for the environment as well concerns over sustainability of fossil fuels has encouraged developed and developing countries to find alternative ways enhance thermal efficiency current power systems. The plants can be increased from 30 – 40 % up 80 90 through implementation a trigeneration system by recovering dissipated waste heat other purposes. defined technology that produce ...

Buckling restrained braces (BRBs) have a similar behavior under compression and tension loadings. Therefore, they can be applied as a favorable lateral load resisting system for structures. In the performance-based earthquake engineering (PBEE) framework, an intermediate variable called intensity measure (IM) links the seismic hazard analysis with the structural response analyses. An optimal IM...
