The reliability of distribution networks is inherently low due to their radial nature, consequently distribution companies (DisCos) usually seek to improve the system reliability indices with the minimum possible investment cost. This can be known as system-oriented reliability planning (SORP). However, there can exist some customers that are not satisfied by their reliability determined by ado...

in this study, a low-cost, rapid and qualitative evaluation procedure is presented using dynamic pattern recognition analysis to assess liquefaction potential which is useful in the planning, zoning, general hazard assessment, and delineation of areas, dynamic pattern recognition using neural networks is generally considered to be an effective tool for assessing of hazard potential on the basis...

This paper presents a predictive residual vector quantization (PRVQ) scheme using a modular neural network vector predictor. The proposed PRVQ scheme takes the advantage of the high prediction gain and the improved edge fidelity of a modular neural network vector predictor in order to implement a high performance vector quantization (VQ) scheme with low search complexity and a high perceptual q...

Geometric Dilution of Precision (GDOP) is a coefficient for constellations of Global Positioning System (GPS) satellites. These satellites are organized geometrically. Traditionally, GPS GDOP computation is based on the inversion matrix with complicated measurement equations. A new strategy for calculation of GPS GDOP is construction of time series problem; it employs machine learning and artif...

Abstract The quality of speech separation affects the entire technology ecosystem. Aiming at problems low utilization local feature information, insufficient convergence speed, too many calculation parameters and long time in blind source view Transformer dual-path cyclic neural network, a model based on fusion Conformer NBC (Narrow-band NBC) is proposed. First, for information block replaced b...

With the development of low cost hardware based on IEEE 802.11b, wireless networks are an emerging technology. Using these wireless techniques outdoors it is possible to build a community network not dependent on any provider. In the Netherlands such a network is being set up in and around Leiden. Using low cost network interfaces, home-built antennas and open source software the volunteers of ...
