A NEURAL RECORDING FRONT END FOR MULTI-CHANNEL WIRELESS IMPLANTABLE APPLICATIONS By Haitao Li By recording neurons’ activities simultaneously, awake animal behaviors can be predicted in real time, brain–machine interfaces controlling the machine by thought can be set up, and treatments for neurological disorders can be explored. Existing commercial neural recording equipment are bench-top syste...

This paper proposes a new model for multi-area dynamic economic dispatch (MA-DED) problem, taking into account hydro-thermal generating units, wind power generation and power pool market, for supplying the overall demand of the system for a given horizon. The uncertainties in wind power generations, energy prices and demand of the system are also modeled to make the proposed approach more pract...

In this paper, we propose an efficient approach to design optimization of analog circuits that is based on the reinforcement learning method. In this work, Multi-Objective Learning Automata (MOLA) is used to design a two-stage CMOS operational amplifier (op-amp) in 0.25μm technology. The aim is optimizing power consumption and area so as to achieve minimum Total Optimality Index (TOI), as a new...

This letter proposes an analytical approach to formulate the power system oscillation frequency under a large disturbance. A fact is revealed that the oscillation frequency is only the function of the oscillation amplitude when the system’s model and operating condition are fixed. Case studies also show that this function is damping-insensitive and could be applied to an inter-area model of a m...

in this paper, the french electoral system in different layers of power and its impact on voter’s political life and behavior is explored. the french chose the two-step plurality system in the national assembly elections. this electoral style has caused the multi-party and bipolar system to be institutionalized in the land of flowers. although this electoral system is harmful to minor parties e...
