As renewable energy increasingly penetrates into power grid systems, new challenges arise for system operators to keep the systems reliable under uncertain circumstances, while ensuring high utilization of renewable energy. This paper presents unit commitment (UC) which takes into account the volatility of wind power generation. The UC problem is solved with the forecasted intermittent wind pow...

Bedside teaching is a vital component of medical education. It is applicable to any situation where teaching is imparted in the presence of patients. In teaching in the patients’ presence, learners have the opportunities to use all of their senses and learn the humanistic aspect of medicine such as role modeling, which is vital but difficult to communicate in words. Unfortunately, bedside teach...

in this paper, a new systematic design methodology has been developed for thes imultaneous energy and water minimization in multiple-contaminant systems that also feature maximum re-use of water. in addition to allowing re-use of water in multiple-contaminant systems, issues about heat losses and flowrate changes inside unit operations have also been incorporated in this new design method. to i...

The ecological condition of the Continental Shelf is of great concern for many countries. The understanding of the integrated effects that result in the present and future situation requires answers on many research topics, such as flow modelling, including turbulence and large eddy simulation, transport processes, chemistry, ecology, etc. This paper focuses on ‘high performance computing issue...

The increasing antibiotic resistance of pathogenic bacteria calls for the development of alternative antimicrobial strategies. Possible approaches include the development of novel, broad-spectrum antibiotics as well as specific targeting of individual bacterial virulence factors. It is impossible to decide currently which strategy will prove more successful in the future since they both promise...

Nutraceuticals is a broad term which describes any substance extracted from food sources with additional health benefits along with the basic nutritional value already present in them. They act nonspecifically to promote general well-being of the individuals and also to control and prevent virulent conditions. The term “nutraceutical” combines two words – “nutrient” (a nourishing food component...

In this paper, I present a picture of what software development will be like ten years down the road. I believe software development will continue to move towards higher level of abstraction, closer to human languages and communication. I envision a seamless integration of aspect oriented programming, domain specific languages, generative programming and intentional programming, along with more...

In this paper, we present the design of the new generation Systran translation systems, currently utilized in the development of English-Hungarian, English-Polish, English-Arabic, French-Arabic, Hungarian-French and Polish-French language pairs. The new design, based on the traditional Systran machine translation expertise and the existing linguistic resources, addresses the following aspects: ...

High energy γ-ray astronomy has been established during the last decade through the launch of the Compton Gamma Ray Observatory (CGRO) and the success of its ground-based counterpart, the imaging atmospheric Cherenkov technique. In the aftermath of their important and surprising scientific results a worldwide effort developing and designing new generation atmospheric Cherenkov detectors is unde...
