A simple methodology is described – the multi-turbine power curve approach – a methodology to generate a qualified estimate of the time series of the aggregated power generation from planned wind turbine units distributed in an area where limited wind time series are available. This is often the situation in a planning phase where you want to simulate planned expansions in a power system with w...

We consider the problem of planning the motion of an arbitrary k-sided polygonal robot B, free to translate and rotate in a polygonal environment V bounded by n edges. We present an algorithm that constructs a single component of the free connguration space of B in time O((kn) 2+"), for any " > 0. This algorithm, combined with some standard techniques in motion planning, yields a solution to th...

In this paper, we examine how the complexity of domain-independent planning with strips-style operators depends on the nature of the planning operators. We show how the time complexity varies depending on a wide variety of conditions: • whether or not delete lists are allowed; • whether or not negative preconditions are allowed; • whether or not the predicates are restricted to be propositions ...

Introduction: Accidental hypothermia occurs very rarely. Japan experienced hypothermic victims in the 2011 earthquake and tsunami disaster. In northern Japan, where largest class of earthquakes tsunamis are estimated, study for countermeasures has been advanced. The progression varies significantly by individual differences environmental factors, it is considered to be challenging assess its da...
