Nowadays, demand response programs (DRPs) play an important role in price reduction and reliability improvement. In this paper, an optimal integrated model for the emergency demand response program (EDRP) and dynamic economic emission dispatch (DEED) problem has been developed. Customer’s behavior is modeled based on the price elasticity matrix (PEM) by which the level of DRP is determined for ...

Body condition may predict individual fitness because those in better condition have more resources to allocate towards improving their fitness. However, the hypothesis that condition indices are meaningful proxies for fitness has been questioned. Here, we ask if intraspecific variation in condition indices predicts annual reproductive success and survival. We monitored a population of Neochmia...

Fifteen years ago, DeLone and McLean published their original model of IS success, which received considerable attention in the literature. Given the widespread acceptance of the model, we conducted a meta-analysis to determine whether the model had been validated by research studies reported in the literature. By aggregating the results of 52 empirical studies that examined relationships withi...

Repeat-until-success strategy is a standard method to obtain success with probability which grows exponentially in the number of iterations. However, since quantum systems are disturbed after measurement, it not straightforward how perform repeat-until-success strategies certain algorithms. In this paper, we propose new structure for probabilistic higher-order transformation named success-or-dr...

Personalized recommendation attracts a surge of interdisciplinary researches. Especially, similarity based methods in applications of real recommendation systems achieve great success. However, the computations of similarities are overestimated or underestimated outstandingly due to the defective strategy of unidirectional similarity estimation. In this paper, we solve this drawback by leveragi...
