a r t i c l e i n f o It is widely agreed that optimal procurement of reserves, with explicit consideration of system contingencies, can improve reliability and economic efficiency in power systems. With increasing penetration of uncertain generation resources, this optimal allocation is becoming even more crucial. Herein, a problem formulation is developed to solve the day-ahead energy and res...

We introduce contingency fees into the Reinganum and Wilde (1986) signaling model of litigation. The effect of contingency fees on settlement depends upon the details of the contingency fee contract and the nature of the informational asymmetry assumed in the model. Introducing bifurcated fee contracts where the contingency percentage is higher at trial changes the selection of disputes at tria...

The integration of distributed energy resources, such as wind farms (WFs) and storage systems (ESSs), into distribution networks can lower the economic cost power generation. However, it is essential to consider operational constraints, including loading margin, which ensures security line contingency. This study aims develop a comprehensive hourly network reconfiguration (HDNR) model minimize ...

This paper presents CROS, a contingency response multi-agent system for oil spills situations. The system makes use of a Case-Based Reasoning system which generates predictions to determine the probability of finding oil slicks in certain areas of the ocean. CBR uses past information to generate new solutions to the current problem. The system employs a distributed multi-agent architecture so t...

Let $C\geq 2$ be a positive integer. Consider the set of $n\times n$ non-negative integer matrices whose row sums and column are all equal to $Cn$ let $X=(X_{ij})_{1\leq i,j\leq n}$ uniformly distributed on this set. This $X$ is called random contingency table with uniform margin. In paper, we study various asymptotic properties as $n\to\infty$.

Evaluative conditioning (EC) is a change in the valence of a stimulus that results from pairing the stimulus with an affective stimulus. Two high-powered studies (total N = 1,161) investigated the nature of the relationship between EC and contingency awareness measured as contingency memory. Stronger EC occurred among people with more accurate and more confident memory of the pairings. Awarenes...
