With an increasing emphasis on tight glycemic control in diabetes care, innovative devices could play a big role, but diabetes is a deceptively complex market. Innovative companies need to differentiate themselves, yet not venture too far outside existing industry dynamics. As the first real−time continuous glucose monitors come to market, a handful of start−ups hopes to be ready for the second...

The deregulation in power systems brings some new issues in equipment maintenance scheduling where more coordination and communication among different entities is required. In this paper, the mobile agent software is applied in the facility maintenance scheduling in deregulated power systems environment. In the given example, the problem is de-coupled into a master problem and a sub-problem usi...

Bilateral contract transaction among generation companies and large consumers is attracting much attention in the electricity market. A large consumer can purchase energy from generation companies directly under a bilateral contract, which can guarantee the economic interests of both sides. However, in pursuit of more profit, the competitions in the transaction exist not only between the compan...

In restructured power systems, planning unit commitment includes optimization of production sources in order to maximize the profit of power producing corporations (GENCO) with conforming to the related limits, which is introduced as the planning based on the profit of units commitment (PBUC). In this paper, the algorithm of Iteration Particle Swarm Optimization (IPSO) has been used in order to...

The use of generative learning models in natural language processing (NLP) has significantly contributed to the advancement applications, such as sentimental analysis, topic modeling, text classification, chatbots, and spam filtering. With a large amount generated each day from different sources, web-pages, blogs, emails, social media, articles, one most common tasks NLP is classification corpu...

A carbon emission trading self-scheduling (CETSS) model was proposed. The proposed considered not only allowance constraints but also trading. new method presented for solving CETSS problems based on piece-wise linearisation and second-order cone linearisation. effectiveness validity of the were illustrated by 10-100 unit systems over 24 hours.
