One of the main goals stated in the proposals for the Common Fisheries Policy (CFP) reform was achieving maximum sustainable yield (MSY) for all European fisheries. In this paper, we propose a fishing rights allocation mechanism or management system, which specifies catch limits for individual fishing fleets to implement MSY harvesting conditions in an age-structured bioeconomic model. An age-s...

Input buffered switches are known to suffer from head-of-line blocking that limits the throughput to 58.6%. It has been shown that with virtual output queueing (VOQ) 100% throughput can be achieved using arbitration algorithms. While dynamic algorithms decide based on some metrics in each time slot, a static arbitration called allocation reserves time slots for specific connections in advance. ...

Dependence structures of multiple risks play an important role in optimal allocation problems for insurance, quantitative risk management, and finance. However, in many existing studies on these problems, risks or losses are often assumed to be independent or comonotonic or exchangeable. In this paper, we propose several new notions of dependence to model dependent risks and give their characte...

Advances in sensors and avionics computation power suggest real-time structural load measurements could be used in flight control systems for improved safety and performance. A conventional transport flight control system determines the moments necessary to meet the pilot’s command, while rejecting disturbances and maintaining stability of the aircraft. Control allocation is the problem of conv...

The explosion of wireless applications has created an ever increasing demand for radio spectrum and this has put a lot of pressure on service providers to meet the end user’s requirement for higher bandwidth. In present scenario, the access to radio spectrum for most of the wireless applications/services is based on some well-coordinated but static spectrum allocation principle. However many st...

In this paper, we study the physical layer security (PLS) problem in the dual hop orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) based wireless communication system. First we consider a single user single relay system and study a joint power optimization problem at the source and relay subject to individual power constraint at the two nodes. The aim is to maximize the end to end secrecy rate...

This paper introduces a new hybrid hill-climbing algorithm (HHC) for solving the Economic Dispatch (ED) problem. This algorithm solves the ED problems with a systematic search structure with a global search. It improves the results obtained from an evolutionary algorithm with local search and converges to the best possible solution that grabs the accuracy of the problem. The most important goal...

‎We firstly prove the completeness of the category of crossed modules in a modified category of interest‎. ‎Afterwards‎, ‎we define pullback crossed modules and pullback cat objects that are both obtained by pullback diagrams with extra structures on certain arrows‎. ‎These constructions unify many corresponding results for the cases of groups‎, ‎commutative algebras and can also be adapted to ...

With the dramatic growth of nonlinear loads, it is desired to improve active filters performance and enhance their capacity. One of the most favorable methods is applying distributed active filter system (DAFS) in which leads to minimizing the cost, weight & size .The main purpose of this paper is to determine the locations and sizes of distributed active filter system (DAFS) With emphasis on r...
