This study proposes an algorithm to allocate different types of flexible AC transmission system (FACTS) in power systems. The main objective this is maximize profit by minimizing the system’s operating cost including FACTS devices (FDs) installation cost. Dynamic and steady state restrictions with loads uncertainty are included problem formulation. overall solved using both teaching learning ba...

introduction: the critical dependence of healthcare services systems on information along with the indigenous restriction of paper documents in satisfying this need has caused a trend toward computer information systems. the main goal of such systems is to achieve electronic health records (ehr). however, implementation of ehr in healthcare organizations is difficult and complicated. this resea...

This study examined constraints and adoption in poultry production in the Northern Agricultural Zone of Delta State, Nigeria. A sample size of 80 respondents comprising of Supervisors of selected farms was used for the study. Data were collected through the use of a structured and validated questionnaire. Data were collected in March 2017. Descriptive statistics such as frequency count, mean sc...

the study carried out an assessment of agricultural land management practices in food crops production among small scale farmers in kwara sate, nigeria. specifically, the study determined the socio economic characteristics of crop farmers in kwara state; ascertained the cropping patterns common among them; highlighted the soil conservation methods adopted by the farmers; examined the relationsh...

This article examines a new approach which solves Linear Programming (LP) problems with stochastic parameters as a generalized model of the fuzzy mathematical model analyzed by Verdegay. An expectation model is provided for solving the problem. A multi-parametric programming is applied to access to a solution with different desired degrees as well as problem constraints. Additionally, we presen...

Many CSPs can be effectively represented and efficiently solved using matrix models, in which the matrices may have symmetry between their rows and/or columns. Eliminating all such symmetry can be very costly as there are in general exponentially many symmetries. Cost-effective methods have been proposed to break much of the symmetry, if not all. In this paper, we continue with this line of res...

We review research on the ̄uency heuristic as a basis for the subjective experience of familiarity. Then, we explore the links between the construct of ̄uency and the automatic versus consciously controlled memory processes that are estimated using the process dissociation procedure, and the phenomenological experiences studied using ``Remember'' and ``Know'' judgements. Although the ̄uency tha...

This study was carried out to evaluate the Ekiti State Social Security Scheme (ESSSS) in Nigeria. Specifically, the study estimated the food security status of the beneficiaries and non beneficiaries of the scheme, assessed the effect of the social security scheme on households’ food security status, and identified the constraints to the implementation of the scheme in the state. A three stage ...

In this paper, a new numerical method is presented for solving the optimal control problems of Bang-Bang type with free or fixed terminal time. The method is based on Bezier polynomials which are presented in any interval as $[t_0,t_f]$. The problems are reduced to a constrained problems which can be solved by using Lagrangian method. The constraints of these problems are terminal state and con...
