This paper presents a gravitational search algorithm (GSA) for solving the combined economic and emission dispatch (CEED) problem in power systems. Numerical results for the standard IEEE 30-bus six-generator test system have been presented to illustrate the performance and applicability of the proposed approach. The results obtained are compared to those reported in the recent literature. Thos...

TAMA300, an interferometric gravitational-wave detector with 300-m baseline length, has been developed and operated with sufficient sensitivity to detect gravitational-wave events within our galaxy and sufficient stability for observations; the interferometer was operated for over 10 hours stably and continuously. With a strain-equivalent noise level of h approximately 5x10(-21)/sqrt[Hz], a sig...
