In many recent years, the programming world has been introduced about a new programming language for designing websites, it is CSS that can be be used together with HTML to develop a web interface. And now, these two programming languages as if inseparably from each other. As a client-side scripting, CSS is visible by all users as the original script, but it can not be granted changed. Website ...

Hybrid control systems consist of a discrete event (DES) controller supervising a continuousstate (CSS) plant. A controller can be synthesized by obtaining a DES controller for an equivalent DES representation (DES plant) of the CSS plant. An important issue concerns the logical invariance (stability) of DES plant transitions to variations in the initial CSS plant state. This paper provides a s...

Shape retrieval programs are comprised of two components: shape representation, and matching algorithm. Building the representation on scale space filtering and the curvature function of a closed boundary curve, curvature scale space (CSS) has been demonstrated to be a robust 2D shape representation. The adoption of the CSS image as the default in the MPEG-7 standard, using a matching algorithm...

This study presents shape optimization of a gravity dam imposing stability and principal stress constraints. A gravity dam is a large scale hydraulic structure consisting of huge amount of concrete material. Hence, an optimum design gives a cost-benefit structure due to the fact that small changes in shape of dam cross-section leads to large saving of concrete volume. T...

Concatenative sound synthesis (CSS) is only as good as the database from which it draws its sound units. As in concatenative speech synthesis, ‘‘good’’ sound concatenations require databases rich in sound material. How better to satisfy this than by using the world’s entire library of sound recordings? As can be expected, this concatenative fodder includes work protected by copyrights; and some...

This paper presents a new algorithm named combination search strategy (CSS)-based improved particle swarm optimisation (IPSO) to address the resource allocation problem of multiple jammers. First, authors propose CSS effectively broaden limited range two-step solving framework. method not only simplifies solution framework but also considers combined relationship between beam pointing and trans...

In this paper, a new supervised classification paradigm, called classifier subset selection for stacked generalization (CSS stacking), is presented to deal with speech emotion recognition. The new approach consists of an improvement of a bi-level multi-classifier system known as stacking generalization by means of an integration of an estimation of distribution algorithm (EDA) in the first laye...

Plug-in electric vehicles (PEVs) are becoming a key feature of smart grids. PEVs will be embedded in the network as a mobile load-storage with probabilistic behavior. In order to manage PEVs as flexible loads, charging stations (CSs) have essential roles. In this paper, a new method for optimal sitting and sizing of solar CSs using energy storage (ES) options is presented. Also, behavior of PEV...

In this paper, a new Hybrid Charged System Search and Particle Swarm Optimization, HCSSPSO, is presented. Although Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) has many advantages, including directional search, it has also some disadvantages resulting in slow convergence rate and low performance. On the other hand, the Charged System Search (CSS) is a robust optimization algorithm which has been successfu...

Spectrum sensing is of great importance in the cognitive radio (CR) networks. Compared with individual spectrum sensing, cooperative spectrum sensing (CSS) has been shown to greatly improve the accuracy of the detection. However, the existing CSS algorithms are sensitive to noise uncertainty and are inaccurate in low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) detection. To address this, we propose a double-th...
