an approach for assignment of the optimal location and tap changer adjustment related to flux-lock type superconducting fault current limiters with tap changer (tc-flsfcl) is used in this paper by debating the reduction of fault current flowing from each device and enhancement of reliability varying with customer type in a distribution network connected with distribution generation (dg). tc-fls...

The dc-biased optical orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (DCO-OFDM) system is experimentally demonstrated as an appealing candidate in future visible light communication (VLC) system. However, the intrinsic high PAPR drawback that the DCO-OFDM system suffers from still needs to be addressed and few effective approach has been found so far. To deal with this problem, in this paper, the t...

reducing wastes in the healthcare processes is crucial for developing a high performance health system. adopted from the toyota production system (tps), the lean concept has emerged in recent years as a way of introducing innovative ideas to improve industrial processes. in the context of health care, lean is considered as a continuous improvement model, which provides healthcare organization t...

Residue Number System (RNS) is a carry-free and non-weighed integer system. In this paper an improved three-moduli set  in reverse converter based on CRT algorithm is proposed. CRT algorithm can perform a better delay and hardware implementation in modules via other algorithms. This moduli is based on p that covers a wide range on modules and supports the whole range of its modules in dynamic r...

This paper describes an automatic speaker diarization system for natural, multi-speaker meeting conversations. Only one central microphone is used to record the meeting. The new system is robust to different acoustic environments it requires neither pre-training models nor development sets to initialize the parameters. The new system determines the model complexity automatically. It adapts the ...

This paper presents an improved algorithm that can be used in the ‘lift-preemptive-software’ (LPS) developed in the NTU-JTC joint project. The improved algorithm successfully eliminated the ‘false alarms’ (defined later) generated by the old algorithm.

Assigning facilities to locations is one of the important problems, which significantly is influence in transportation cost reduction. In this study, we solve quadratic assignment problem (QAP), using a meta-heuristic algorithm with deterministic tasks and equality in facilities and location number. It should be noted that any facility must be assign to only one location. In this paper, first o...
