This study analysed factors influencing food security status of female headed farm households in Abia state, Nigeria. Multistage random sampling technique was employed in selecting 240 female headed farm households from whom data were collected using structured questionnaire. Data collected were analyzed using descriptive statistics, food security indices and probit regression technique. Result...

Internet-of-Things (IoT) devices characterized by low power and processing capabilities do not exactly fit into the provision of existing security techniques due to their constrained nature. Classical algorithms that are built on complex cryptographic functions often require a level low-power IoT incapable effectively achieve limited resources. Consequently, option for lies in either developing...

Security-constrained unit commitment (SCUC) has been extensively studied as a key decision-making tool to determine optimal power generation schedules in the operation of electricity market. With development emerging grids, fruitful research results on SCUC have obtained. Therefore, it is essential review current work and propose future directions for meet needs developing systems. In this pape...

As part of the day-ahead market clearing process, MISO solves one of the most challenging Security Constrained Unit Commitment (SCUC) models. This paper introduces several developments on MIP SCUC formulation that result in significant performance improvement. Numerical results based on MISO data are presented. Index Terms – Electricity market, mixed integer programming, security constrained un...
