In this paper, a method for optimal measurement placement in the problem of static harmonic state estimation in power systems is proposed. At first, for achieving to a suitable method by considering the precision factor of the estimation, a procedure based on Genetic Algorithm (GA) for optimal placement is suggested. Optimal placement by regarding the precision factor has an evident solution, a...

The automatic selection of good viewing parameters is very complex. In most cases, the notion of good strongly depends on the concrete application. Moreover, when an intuitive definition of good view is available, it is often difficult to establish a measure that brings it to the practice. Commonly, two kind of viewing parameters must be set: the position and orientation of the camera, and the ...

This paper proposes a refined genetic algorithm (RGA) for solving optimal measurement placement with single measurement pair loss contingency for power system state estimation. Even though the global minimum measurement pair number is , their proper positions are required to make the system observable. The observability is checked by the topological analysis method and triangular factorization ...

Movement data from athletes are useful to quantify performance or more specifically the workload. Inertial measurement units (IMUs) sensors body movements. Sensor placement on human is still an open question that this paper focuses on. A method develops synthesized inertial proposed for determining optimal placement. Comparison between virtual and real achieved. Training motion recognition algo...

The current investigations suggest the segregation of Jurinea cartilaginea from Jurinea, and its placement among Centaureinae. Molecular studies, based on the nuclear ribosomal internal transcribed spacers (nrITS), chromosome number data and pollen morphology, support the morphological results. Based on these results, J. cartilaginea is related to and, therefore, transferred to the genus Karvan...

Flow-level traffic measurement is important for network traffic accounting, traffic engineering, and network security. However, flow-level measurement in high speed networks poses great challenges due to the requirements of high packet processing speed and large memory size (high time/space complexity). To reduce these demanding requirements, sampling is usually used and samplers are deployed i...

Structural damage detection methods using vibration measurements have been developed for decades. Measurement selections may affect damage detection results, because inevitable uncertainties are involved in vibration testing. A new sensor placement index is defined as the ratio of two parameters, namely, the contribution of measurement points to a Fisher information matrix, and the damage sensi...

Software testability the tendency for software to reveal its faults during testing is an important issue for veri cation and quality assurance Testability measurement can also be used to good advantage as a debugging aide In this paper we propose using testability measures for assertion place ment and fault isolation One measure of testability is a technique termed Sensitivity Analysis This tec...

The technique of intracoronary stenting has achieved remarkable progress over the last few years. Improved stent deployment techniques and optimization of postprocedural management have dramatically improved the safety of intracoronary stent placement. At present, the incidence of early vessel closure after stenting is even lower than that after standard angioplasty and, as most operators no lo...

The current study assessed the measurement equivalence of the Wong & Law Emotional Intelligence Scale (WLEIS) with three groups of Chinese university students. Two research sessions were conducted—one in Beijing, China with university students (N = 680), and the other in Calgary, Canada where two groups of Chinese students were administered the WLEIS in either Chinese (N = 151) or English (N = ...
