We consider the problem of realigning a space telescope from one observation target to next in presence prohibited directions. More specifically, we want steer – modelled as gyrostat an initial attitude at rest final within fixed time interval. During motion, line sight must be kept away forbidden directions towards bright objects like sun, moon or earth due power thermal requirements. The kine...

This paper is concerned with the economic generation dispatch problem. It a well-known fact that practical aspects of power plant equipment, as well objectives to be met, may result in nonconvex, nondifferentiable model poses difficulties conventional mathematical programming methods. proposes use metaheuristic Teaching-Learning-Based Optimization overcome such difficulties. known for requiring...

Materials and Methods: Firstly, reliable sources of Iranian Traditional Medicine wer...

This study addresses a stochastic structure for generation companies (GenCoʼs) that participate in hydro-thermal self-scheduling with a wind power plant on short-term scheduling for simultaneous reserve energy and energy market. In stochastic scheduling of HTSS with a wind power plant, in addition to various types of uncertainties such as energy price, spinning /non-spinning reserve prices, unc...

The United States Supreme Court has restricted attorneys from considering the gender and race of potential jurors in their use of peremptory challenges—the practice by which jurors may be removed from a jury without explanation or evidence of potential bias. We propose that forbidding peremptories based on social category information not only fails to decrease biased jury selection, but also en...

Massive growth is posing threat to the ecological security and sustainability of cities. Ecosystem service value (ESV) risk index (ERI) assessment can be conducted enhance urban ecosystem management through enhanced recognition these values risks in decision-making. This paper aimed measure spatiotemporal ESV ERI for Shizuishan City located central China, and, based on this, how zone space usin...
