Adaptive robust optimization (ARO) is a well-known technique to deal with the parameter uncertainty in problems. While ARO framework can actually be borrowed solve some special problems without uncertain parameters, such as power flexibility aggregation problem studied this paper. To effectively harness significant from massive distributed energy resources (DERs), performed for distribution sys...

Abstract Traditionally, optimization of radiation therapy (RT) treatment plans has been done before the initiation RT course, using population-wide estimates for patients’ response to therapy. However, recent technological advancements have enabled monitoring individual patient during in form biomarkers. Although biomarker data remains subject substantial uncertainties, information extracted fr...

The widespread applicability of cyber-physical systems (CPS) necessitates efficient schemes to optimize the performance both computing units and physical plant. Task scheduling (TS) in CPS is vital importance enhance resource usage system efficiency. Traditional task schedulers embedded real-time are unable fulfill requirements because diversity heterogeneities. In this study, we designed a new...

The clinical and radiographic results of vascularized pedicle iliac bone grafting (PBG) and Sugioka's transtrochanteric anterior rotational osteotomy of the femoral head (ARO) for idiopathic osteonecrosis of the femoral head were compared. Four male patients with bilateral osteonecrosis of the femoral head were treated with PBG in the first hip and with ARO in the second. All patients had stage...

The ball and beam system is one of the most popular laboratory setups for control education. In this paper, we design a fuzzy PD cascade controller for a ball and beam system using Asexual Reproduction Optimization (ARO) technique. The ball & beam system consists of a servo motor, a grooved beam, and a rolling ball. This system utilizes a servo motor to control ball’s position on the beam. Chan...

The reaction of [((t-Bu)ArO) 3tacn)U (III)] ( 1) with 4,4'-di- tert-butylbenzophenone affords a unique isolable U(IV) ketyl radical species [((t-Bu)ArO) 3tacn)U (IV)(OC* (t-Bu)Ph 2)] (2) supported by XRD data, magnetization measurements, and DFT calculations. Isolation and full characterization of the corresponding diphenyl methoxide complex [((t-Bu)ArO) 3tacn)U (IV)(OCH ( t-Bu )Ph 2)] (3) is a...

Aromatic polyketides make up a large class of natural products with diverse bioactivity. During biosynthesis, linear poly-β-ketone intermediates are regiospecifically cyclized, yielding molecules with defined cyclization patterns that are crucial for polyketide bioactivity. The aromatase/cyclases (ARO/CYCs) are responsible for regiospecific cyclization of bacterial polyketides. The two most com...

BACKGROUND Recent publications suggest that neoplastic initiation and growth are dependent on a small subset of cells, termed cancer stem cells (CSCs). Anaplastic Thyroid Carcinoma (ATC) is a very aggressive solid tumor with poor prognosis, characterized by high dedifferentiation. The existence of CSCs might account for the heterogeneity of ATC lesions. CD133 has been identified as a stem cell ...

To succeed over the sudden load-frequency variations in interlinked power systems, an equilibrium must be maintained between generations and losses. The major problem associated to manifold interlinking arenas of systems is load frequency control. In this paper, a multiple-arena scheme examined which encompasses thermal split shaft gas turbine plants. Here, artificial rabbit optimization (ARO) ...

Landslides lead to widespread devastation and significant loss of life in mountainous regions around the world. Susceptibility assessments can provide critical data help decision‐makers, for example, local authorities other organizations, mitigating landslide risk, although accuracy existing studies needs be improved. This study aims assess susceptibility Thua Thien Hue province Vietnam using d...
