As global warming has become an issue that all human beings have to address, it is time to figure out how to reform our power system such that we can reduce the CO2 emission meanwhile stimulating the development of clean energy, such as wind energy. Because wind energy is not so dispatchable as fossil energy and it is always located in remote areas far away from high-power-demand areas, it is n...

This paper proposes an optimal transmission expansion planning (TEP) which is based on determining share of each line in merchandizing surplus (MS) of system, determining by Independent System Operator (ISO). The more share of a line in MS of system denotes the priority of a line for expansion. The procedure of determining MS of each line in a power system is based on determining the MS share o...

due to increasing expansion of energy consumption and also the decrease and tendency towardsending fossil energy reserves, the current energy cycle needs to use alternative energy speciallywind energy, because it’s considerably cheaper than other recycling sources. the presentresearch investigates suitable possibility of exploiting wind energy to create wind power stationin soltanieh zone of za...

This paper establishes an approach to forecast air cargo demand related to terminal capacity expansion. To balance capacity and demand, it is required to forecast the future demand based on optimistic and pessimistic projections to decide when and how much, the airport should expand the capacity. System dynamics simulation model can provide reliable forecast and generate scenarios to test alter...

HOXB4 overexpression induces unique in vivo and in vitro expansion of hemopoietic stem cells (HSCs) without causing leukemia. Very little is known about the molecular basis underlying HOXB4-induced HSC self-renewal. We now report the in vitro proliferation and in vivo expansion capacity of primary bone marrow (BM) cells engineered to overexpress selected HOXB4 point mutants lacking either the c...

Steady state measurements of the diffusing capacity of the lung are made at operational lung volume, whereas measurements by the breath-holding method are customarily made at full inspiration. The effect of lung inflation on diffusing capacity must be taken into account before the steady state and breath-holding methods can be validly compared. At rest the single breath diffusing capacity of th...

This paper presents the modelling and analysis of the capacity expansion of urban road traffic network (ICURTN). Thebilevel programming model is first employed to model the ICURTN, in which the utility of the entire network is maximized with the optimal utility of travelers' route choice. Then, an improved hybrid genetic algorithm integrated with golden ratio (HGAGR) is developed to enhance the...

This paper reviews the literature on strategic capacity management concerned with determining the sizes, types, and timing of capacity investments and adjustments under uncertainty. Specific attention is given to recent developments to incorporate multiple decision makers, multiple capacity types, hedging, and risk aversion. Capacity is a measure of processing abilities and limitations and is r...
