Searching for new breakthroughs in science: How effective are computerised detection algorithms?

Comment on “How effective and efficient are multiobjective evolutionary algorithms

In a recent paper by Tang, Reed and Wagener (2006, hereafter referred to as TRW) a comparison assessment was presented of three state-of-the-art evolutionary algorithms for multiobjective calibration of hydrologic models. Through three illustrative case studies, TRW demonstrate that the Strength Pareto Evolutionary Algorithm 2 (SPEA2) and Epsilon Dominance Nondominated Sorted Genetic Algorithm ...

How Effective Are Food-for-education Programs?

Education and child health are important tools of poverty reduction and economic development. With the recent focus on universal primary education as a Millennium Development Goal, many developing countries have made dramatic improvements in primary school enrollment rates, but primary school attendance and secondary school participation remain low. One reason is that schoolage children in poor...

islanding detection methods for microgrids

امروزه استفاده از منابع انرژی پراکنده کاربرد وسیعی یافته است . اگر چه این منابع بسیاری از مشکلات شبکه را حل می کنند اما زیاد شدن آنها مسائل فراوانی برای سیستم قدرت به همراه دارد . استفاده از میکروشبکه راه حلی است که علاوه بر استفاده از مزایای منابع انرژی پراکنده برخی از مشکلات ایجاد شده توسط آنها را نیز منتفی می کند . همچنین میکروشبکه ها کیفیت برق و قابلیت اطمینان تامین انرژی مشترکان را افزایش ...
