Gas-fired power plants are commonly employed to deal with the intermittency of renewable energy resources due their flexible characteristics. Therefore, in system transmits gas through gas-fired plants, which makes operation these systems even more interdependent. This study proposes a novel possibilistic model for integrated and presence electric vehicles demand response. The takes into accoun...

Crash frequency and crash severity are two major aspects of transportation safety. In this paper, we propose a decision-making scheme combining statistical analysis optimization modeling to be used in safety study. We conduct analysis, travel speed an develop two-stage decision minimize while mitigating severity, using data collected urban environments Lincoln, Nebraska. the study impact lane w...

How did I get to become a cell biologist? Or, more generally, why do things happen the way they do? The answer provided by the philosopher Democritus and later adopted by Jacques Monod is "everything existing in the universe is the fruit of chance and necessity." While I read Monod's book Chance and Necessity as an undergraduate student, little did I appreciate the accuracy of this citation and...

In this paper a fuzzy goal programming technique is presented to solve multiobjective decision making problems in a probabilistic decision making environment where the right sided parameters associated with the system constraints are exponentially distributed fuzzy random variables. In model formulation of the problem, the fuzzy chance constrained programming problem is converted into a fuzzy p...

Stress relaxation in strained-Si MOSFETs can be significant in the presence of compressive stress imposed by trench isolation, especially for highly scaled active regions. Stress of the strained region is reduced by ∼2/3 when the active region is scaled from Lactive=0.4 μm to 0.1 μm. Mobility can be lower by 50 % for narrow active widths resulting from the strain relaxation. The strain relaxati...

Overview of Strained Silicon Technology With its physical limitations already in sight, industry and academic microelectronics research has been focused on developing new technologies to extend Moore’s Law. One of these viable technologies is strained silicon. The attractiveness of strained-Si is that it increases carrier mobility, can be easily integrated into current manufacturing processes, ...

the total change in living quality happening in developed countries represents a suitable policy and programming conducted by the government. providing enough power and authority for those who are called as society organizers, there remains no doubt to expect a fruitful national economy and consequently a much better living conditions. according to the rate of changes and family economic evolut...
