The purpose of this research is to predict the total market demand of photovoltaic (PV) system of the world. By using the Grey forecasting model, the results were precise and valid. Then, the sensitivity analysis was conducted to select the most appropriate horizontal adjusting factor (HAF) and to determine the growth type of PV industry. The result showed the HAF was 0.4, which indicated the g...

Recent advances in mobile computing have enabled the deployment of broadcast based information systems such as, wireless internet, traffic information systems, etc. These systems are mainly pull-based and their performance very much depends on the broadcast schedule they use. In this paper we focus on on-demand broadcast system. We propose a new ondemand scheduling algorithm that takes scheduli...

reliability investigation has always been one of the most important issues in power systems planning. the outages rate in power system reflects the fact that more attentions should be paid on reliability indices to supply consumers with uninterrupted power. using reliability indices in economic dispatch problem may lead to the system load demand with high reliability and low probability of powe...

Recent years have witnessed a rapid growth of interest in the study of the dynamic behavior of replenishment rules of Bullwhip Effect. We prove that Bullwhip Effect and butterfly effect share a same the self-oscillation amplifying mechanism that is the ordering decisions the supplier self-oscillation amplify the perturbations brought by the errors in the processing of retailers’ demand informat...

With the increasing use of high-speed internet technologies during the past few years, the concept of cloud computing has become more popular and has evolved as a key computing platform for sharing resources that include infrastructure, software, applications, and business process. It provides a new way of building applications on on-demand infrastructure. In cloud computing, users work with we...

We invent Implicit Marshallian Demands, a new type of demand function that combines desirable features of Hicksian and Marshallian demand functions. We propose and estimate the Exact Af ne Stone Index (EASI) Implicit Marshallian Demand system. Like the Almost Ideal Demand (AID) system, EASI budget shares are linear in parameters given real expenditures. However, unlike the AID, EASI demands can...

In this study a simulation analysis is applied to address the change in banks liquidity demand due to a shift in settlement method brought about by adopting Real Time Gross Settlement System. At the first stage of this research, we use a data generator model along with some information on the time distribution of coded cheques over a working day in order to produce intraday flow of payment...

STUDY OBJECTIVES There is limited knowledge about the prospective relationship between major work characteristics (psychosocial, physical, scheduling) and disturbed sleep. The current study sought to provide such knowledge. DESIGN Prospective cohort, with measurements on two occasions (T1 and T2) separated by two years. SETTING Naturalistic study, Sweden. PARTICIPANTS There were 4,827 par...
