This study attempts to answer the question of distinguishing appropriate intensity measure parameter for performance-based design or assessment, taking into account the efficiency aspect. The comprehensive comparative tables proposed in this paper could be an effective support in the decision making procedure for intensity measure selection, comprising most of the frequently utilized intensity ...

The conditions under which local government top managers become frustrated with the appfication of computers and electronic data processing (EDP) governmental operations are assessed. Using relative deprivation theory as a Conceptual framework, extensive empirical data are analyzed to explain current frustration with local government ED P. Five streams of explanation are evaluated: the politica...

The optimal deployment of heterogeneous energy storage (HES), mainly consisting electrical and thermal storage, is essential for increasing the holistic utilization efficiency multienergy systems. Consequently, this article proposes a risk-averse method HES in residential microgrid (RMEMG), considering diverse uncertainties demand-side management (DSM). Apart from size location planning, its in...

Abstract We introduce two new concepts of convergence gradient systems $$({\mathbf{Q}}, {{\mathcal {E}}}_\varepsilon ,{{\mathcal {R}}}_\varepsilon )$$ ( Q , E ε R ) </mml:mat...

It has been suggested that the pulmonary arterial end-diastolic pressure (EDP) may accurately reflect the level of left ventricular EDP, and therefore be useful in the continuous monitoring of left ventricular EDP in acutely ill patients. Accordingly, pulmonary arterial pressure was recorded simultaneously with left ventricular pressure in 24 patients with normal left ventricular function and i...

Abstract The entrepreneurial discovery process (EDP) is an element of the Research and Innovation Strategy for Smart Specialisation (RIS3) concept, which basis activities carried out in European Union (EU) regions area innovation policies. requires creation institutional structure (cooperation network) that allows coordinated continuous cooperation between representatives entities create region...
