In this paper an optimal energy and reactive power dispatch problem is solved by using the ant lion optimization (ALO) algorithm considering total cost minimization social welfare maximization (SWM) objectives. Two different market models are proposed in work, i.e., conventional/sequential clearing proposed/simultaneous clearing. each model, two objectives, SWM considered. The conventional (SW)...

In this paper we propose a teaching method for web engineering: The Simple Web Method (SWM, pronounced ‘swim’). We also discuss tool support for Web Engineering and introduce our prototype WIPSE (Web Integrated Project Support Environment). Both are described in use and evaluated within a teaching context.

BACKGROUND SPD489-404 was the first 2-year safety study of lisdexamfetamine dimesylate in the treatment of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder in children and adolescents. In accordance with advice from the European Medicines Agency, assessment of cognitive function was a predefined safety outcome in SPD489-404. OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to assess cognitive function over ...

This paper proposes an algorithm that allows fully utilize the Central Processing Unit–Graphics Processing Unit (CPU–GPU) hybrid architecture to conduct parallel computation and reasonable scheduling for computer simulation of electrocardiogram (ECG). This algorithm is realized by accelerating calculation speed and increasing platform adaptability of the parallel algorithm. Today, many algorith...

BACKGROUND Sexual reproduction in animals requires the production of highly specialized motile sperm cells that can navigate to and fertilize ova. During sperm differentiation, nonmotile spermatids are remodeled into motile spermatozoa through a process known as spermiogenesis. In nematodes, spermiogenesis, or sperm activation, involves a rapid cellular morphogenesis that converts unpolarized r...

The underlying mechanisms of alpha band (8-12 Hz) neural oscillations are of importance to the functioning of attention control systems as well as to neuropsychiatric conditions that are characterized by deficits of that system, such as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). The objectives of the present study were to test if visual encoding-related alpha event-related desynchronizati...

BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to explore the effect and possible mechanism of sodium valproate (VPA) on the cognitive function and the hippocampus of rats after convulsive status epilepticus (CES). MATERIAL AND METHODS A rat model of CES was established and the Morris water maze was used to observe changes in the cognitive function of the rats after the administration of VPA. Acute hippo...

The solid waste management (SWM) sector is responsible for the emission of about 5% all global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. In developing countries where less organised, carbon footprint much higher, so also potential reducing these This study assessed GHGs from SWM in northeastern Nigeria. Based on literature study, it was found that open dumping dumpsites and unsanitary landfills a disposa...

Abstract. The tropical Northwest Pacific (TNWP) is a receptor for pollution sources throughout Asia and highly susceptible to climate change, making it imperative understand long-range transport in this complex aerosol-meteorological environment. Measurements from the NASA Cloud, Aerosol, Monsoon Processes Philippines Experiment (CAMP2Ex; 24 August 5 October 2019) back trajectories National Oce...
