In this paper, Petri nets are used to model the different components of service composition, and form the energy consumption model of service composition based on the relationship between components, Agent is also introduced in the energy consumption management process. Then, an adaptive energy consumption strategy are proposed to dynamically ensure that service composition can get the lowest e...

This paper proposes an innovative method based on wavelet transform (WT) to decompose the global power consumption in elemental loads corresponding to each appliance. The aim is to identify the main entities that are responsible of total electricity consumption. The research demonstrates that the WT could be used to identify simpler electrical consumption patterns as a part of total consumption...

E lectricity has particular importance in the national economy and providing socio-economic welfare. It is considered an essential infrastructure of the countries development. This is why the management of electricity consumption and the formulation of proper policies for it is very important for policy-makers. To do this successfully, it is necessary to identify energy consumption p...

We demonstrate, using data for the period 1954-2003, that di¤erences in exposure to consumption risk explains cross sectional di¤erences in average excess returns (cost of equity capital) across the 25 benchmark equity portfolios constructed by Fama and French (1993). We use yearly returns on stocks to take into account well documented within year deterministic seasonal patterns in returns, mea...

Pain after total abdominal hysterectomy (TAH) is a major concern. Pain management is very important issue after TAH. This study aimed to assess the efficacy of intraperitoneal instillation of lidocaine for postoperative pain relief after TAH. A double-blinded randomized placebo-controlled trial was conducted on patients undergoing total abdominal hysterectomy in Al-zahra hospital from June 2007...

Energy consumption share in construction part and dependent industries is about 40 percent of total energy consuming in Iran which is significant compared to other industries such as transportation, agriculture and therefore is of important. As energy consumption reduction and material durability improvement leads to cost reduction from one hand and environment pollution reduction on the othe...
