administrative regulations for water flow decrease distribution efficiency and effect the economical operation of irrigation networks. complications in distribution systems and the decrease in availability of water require study of the hydraulic performance of existing flow control structures. control systems designed by neyrpic (zayandeh rud network) and usbr (doroodzan network) were investiga...

New power systems based on VPP will be expanded in the future and analysis of the frequency behavior of these systems compared to current systems in the field of disruptions will be one of the most important issues of the system operators. In this paper, the equations of the frequency response model of conventional power system are expanded by considering the VPP's and their effective component...

totoday’s market place is increasingly dynamic and volatile. in this area supply network issues recently have attracted a lot of attention from industrial practitioners and academics worldwide. chaos theory is the study of complex, nonlinear, dynamic systems. for chaotic systems, a tiny change in conditions may result in an enormous change in system output, whereas substantial changes in condit...

Health systems research aims to understand the governance of health systems (i.e. how health systems function and perform and how their actors interact with each other). This can be achieved by applying innovative methodologies and concepts that are going to capture the complexity and dynamics of health systems when they are affected by shocks. The capacity of health systems to adapt to shocks ...

society is growing increasingly dependent upon large-scale, highly distributed systems that operate in unbounded open network environments. unless safeguards are incorporated in the system, a failure of even a single component, e.g. a link or a node, can significantly impact the network performance and can cause highly expensive damages. the discipline of survivability attempts to ensure that n...

social learning and knowledge generation are two key factors to achieve successful natural resources co-management. social learning can be beneficial by broadcasting and transmitting experiences and problem solving ideas in a group of people. social learning networks can transmit knowledge and experiences from one node to another in the network. social learning can produce a suitable learning a...
