ownloade kground: Associations between metabolic syndrome (MetS) components and prostate cancer develophave not been studied comprehensively; results have been divergent. Using the National Cholesterol tion Program Adult Treatment panel III (NCEP) and International Diabetes Federation (IDF) definitions MetS, we investigated such associations taking competing risks of death into consideration. t...

Sequencing errors in natural and elicited speech have long been used to inform models of phonological encoding and to understand the process by which serial ordering is achieved in speech. The present study focused on the distribution of sequential speech errors within multi-word prosodic units to determine whether such units are relevant to speech planning, and, if so, how. Forty native Englis...

Defining units of conservation below the species level is a widely accepted conservation priority, but is especially challenging for widespread taxa that have experienced diverse geographic histories and exist across heterogenous environments. The lake chub (Pisces: Couesius plumbeus) is a widespread freshwater fish in North America and occurs from the southcentral USA to northwestern Alaska an...

In this paper, a stochastic multiobjective framework is proposed for a day-ahead short-term Hydro Thermal Self-Scheduling (HTSS) problem for joint energy and reserve markets. An efficient linear formulations are introduced in this paper to deal with the nonlinearity of original problem due to the dynamic ramp rate limits, prohibited operating zones, operating services of thermal plants, multi-h...

Many researchers propose dedicated hardware [1, 2] to process sensor data on mobile systems, reducing the burden on generalpurpose computing units and increasing a system’s energy eciency. However, these hardware units are placed at a distance from sensors, thermally isolated to avoid an increase in thermal noise of sensors that can degrade the €delity of the sensor output signal. In this post...

Rate of heat transfer ∂u = (1) −K0 area ∂x where K0 is the thermal conductivity, units [K0] = MLT U . In other words, heat is transferred from areas of high temp to low temp. 3. Conservation of energy. Consider a uniform rod of length l with non-uniform temperature lying on the x-axis from x = 0 to x = l. By uniform rod, we mean the density ρ, specific heat c, thermal conductivity K0, cross-sec...

In the power system operations, the economic load dispatch of thermal generating system is among one of the most important problems.Recent global inclination towards the utilization of more and more renewable energy makes this problem important than ever. In this work, the economic dispatch of thermal and PV system with battery storage is carried out. Here Unit Commitment (UC) using Dynamic Pro...

This paper presents an efficient emission constrained hydrothermal scheduling algorithm that deals with nonlinear functions such as the water discharge characteristics, thermal cost, and transmission loss. It is then incorporated into the hydrothermal coordination program. The program has been tested on a practical utility system having 32 thermal and 12 hydro generating units. Test results sho...
