In literature, economic power dispatch problems are generally categorized as convex and non-convex optimization problems. In this study, incremental artificial bee colony (IABC) and incremental artificial bee colony with local search (IABC-LS) have been used for the solution of the economic dispatch problem with valve point effect. In these kind of problems, fuel cost curve increases as sinusoi...

In the framework of massive sensing and smart sustainable cities, this work presents an urban distributed acoustic testbed in vicinity School Technology Telecommunication Engineering University Granada, Spain. After positioning technology state art similar existing approaches, results monitoring experiment are described. Details scenario, basic types events automatically distinguishable, initia...

On behalf of the European Commission, this study establishes empirically the annual leakage rate of mobile air conditioners (MACs) in buses and coaches for the use-phase of the vehicles. In buses, refills are carried out in relatively short service intervals to compensate for leakages whatever their nature. Such refills are recorded over a sufficiently long time and in appropriate detail in Swe...

Since 2012 INEA has been developing and expanding the network of IEEE 802.11 compliant Wi-Fi hotspots (access points) located across the Greater Poland region. This network consists of 330 mobile (vehicular) access points carried by public buses and trams and over 20,000 fixed residential hotspots distributed throughout the homes of INEA customers to provide Internet access via the “community W...

This paper presents a new framework for multi-subject event inference in surveillance video, where measurements produced by low-level vision analytics usually are noisy, incomplete or incorrect. Our goal is to infer the composite events undertaken by each subject from noise observations. To achieve this, we consider the temporal characteristics of event relations and propose a method to correct...

This paper describes a new low-power, area-, and pin-efficient alternative to differential encoding for high-performance chip-to-chip and backplane signaling. The technique, called multi-bit-differential-signaling (MBDS), consists of a new design for the driver and link termination network coupled with a novel coding system based on “N choose M (nCm)” codes. In an nCm-coded MBDS channel, there ...
