In this work, a multi-objective optimization on novel insulated roof with solar water heating system at low material cost has been carried out through Taguchi based grey relational analysis technique. The novel roofs have concrete, insulating polyurethane, and a channel of water in a metallic pipe tunneling the chromium block. Chromium block is used to conduct more heat to raise the water to re...

this paper presents a new hybrid method for optimal multi-objective reconfiguration in a distribution feeder in addition to determining the optimal size and location of multiple-distributed generation (dg). the purposes of this research are mitigation of losses, improving the voltage profile and equalizing the feeder load balancing in distribution systems. to reduce the search space, the improv...

This extended abstract describes the system we submit for MIREX 2009 task “Multiple Fundamental Frequency Estimation and Tracking”. The task includes three subtasks: 1) Multi-pitch Estimation (MPE) at frame-level, 2) note events detection and 3) pitch tracking for each source. Our system consists of two parts: 1) MPE in each time frame and 2) pitch trajectory formation from these pitch estimate...

An efficient compression algorithm for multi-view video sequences, which are captured by two-dimensional (2D) camera arrays, is proposed in this work. First, we propose a novel prediction structure, called three-dimensional hierarchical B prediction (3DHBP), which can efficiently reduce horizontal inter-view redundancies, vertical inter-view redundancies, and temporal redundancies in multi-view...
