Gravitational wave echoes may provide a smoking gun signal for new physics in the immediate vicinity of black holes. As quasiperiodic time, are characterized by nearly constant time delay, and its precise measurement can help reveal Planck-scale deviation outside would-be horizon. Different search methods have been developed this signal, while searches suffer from large theoretical uncertaintie...

The main objective of the power system is to supply the total power requirement to the users at minimum possible fuel cost and with minimum emissions. Combined economic and emission load dispatch determines the optimal generation of the power system by minimizing the fuel cost and emission levels simultaneously. Economic Load Dispatch is the most remarkable problem in optimization for forecasti...

It has recently been noted by Park & Gott (1997) that there is a statistically significant negative correlation between gravitational lens image separations and source redshifts. This negative correlation is puzzling since is cannot be explained with any realistic models both in flat and open cosmologies, while ususal lens statistics, such as number density and distribution of image separation,...

We give an improved estimate of the detectability of gravitational waves from magnetically confined mountains on accreting neutron stars. The improved estimate includes the following effects for the first time: three-dimensional hydromagnetic (“fast”) relaxation, three-dimensional resistive (“slow”) relaxation, realistic accreted masses Ma . 2 × 10 M⊙, (where the mountain is grown ab initio by ...

This paper presents a combinational quantum-inspired binary gravitational search algorithm (QBGSA) for solving the optimal power quality monitor (PQM) placement problem in power systems for voltage sag assessment. In this algorithm, the standard binary gravitational search algorithm is modified by applying the concept and principles of quantum behaviour as to improve the search capability with ...

We present results from a search for gravitational-wave bursts coincident with two core-collapse supernovae observed optically in 2007 and 2011. We employ data from the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory (LIGO), the Virgo gravitational-wave observatory, and the GEO 600 gravitational-wave observatory. The targeted core-collapse supernovae were selected on the basis of (1) proxim...

Abstract: One of the equipment that can help improve distribution system status today and reduce the cost of fault time is remote control switches (RCS). Finding the optimal location and number of these switches in the distribution system can be modeled with various objective functions as a nonlinear optimization problem to improve system reliability and cost. In this article, a particle swarm ...
