in the current research, wind energy potential at yazd synoptic stations, which contain wind data with 10 years statistic period and beyond, including yazd synoptic station (1976-2006), tabass (1987-2006), robate poshte badam (1992-2006), bafgh (1993-2006) and marvast (1997-2006), has been studied. wind data were obtained from the recorded data at yazd meteorology organization. the data were re...

The first Chinese operational Ku-band scatterometer on board Haiyang-2A (HY-2A), launched in August 2011, is designed for monitoring the global ocean surface wind. This study estimates the quality of the near-real-time (NRT) retrieval wind speed and wind direction from the HY-2A scatterometer for 36 months from 2012 to 2014. We employed three types of sea-surface wind data from oceanic moored b...

We introduce crossed interval groups and construct a crossed interval analog IS of the Fiedorowicz-Loday symmetric category ∆S. We prove that the functor FS(−) of the free IS-extension of an I-object does not change homotopy type. We then observe that the operad B of natural operations on the Hochschild cohomology equals FS(T ), where T is an operad whose homotopy type is known. We conclude fro...

We consider a market where a single seller must employ informative advertising to launch a new product of observable quality. The monopolist may use mass, targeted or customer directed advertising. We show that the choice of advertising strategy depends on the economic properties of the advertising technology. If this exhibits strong economies of targeting, customer directed advertising arises ...

We compare the cost of generating electricity with coal and wind in Chile’s Central Interconnected System (SIC). Our estimates include the cost of marginal damages caused by coal plant emissions. On average, we estimate that the levelized cost of coal, including externalities, is $84/MWh. It is efficient to abate emissions of air pollutants (SOx, NOx and PM2.5) but not of CO2. Then the cost wro...

the aim of this sutdy is to prepare histocompatability y(hy) antibody in female mouse at the first phase (current study), and to separate mouse embryos with regard to their sex, to be able to obtain offsprings of disired sex, by means of hy antibody, at the second phase. totally 421 balb/c inbred mice were used. antibodies were produced in females by intraperitonial injections of spleen and tes...

This paper presents an efficient algorithin for coiiiputing the solution to the constrained infinite time linear quadratic regulator (CLQR) problem for discrete time systems. The algorithm coinbiiies multi-parametric quadratic programming with reachability analysis to obtain the optiinal piecewise affine (PWA) feedback law. The algorithm reduces the time necessary to compute the PWA solution fo...
