In electric arc furnace steelmaking units, the essential parameters are reducing price, increasing production and decreasing environmental pollution. Electric arc furnaces are the largest users of electric energy in industry. The most important techniques that can be used to reduce the electric energy consumption in electric arc furnaces are scrap preheating, stirring, use of burners and hot ch...

The future market diffusion of electric vehicles (EVs) is of great importance for transport related green house gas emissions and energy demand. But most studies on the market diffusion of EVs focus on average driving patters and neglect the great variations in daily driving of individuals present in real-world driving data. Yet these variations are important for EVs since range limitations and...

A hierarchical framework is proposed to address the issues of modeling different type of words in keyword spotting (KWS). Keyword models are built at various levels according to the availability of training set resources for each individual word. The proposed approach improves the performance of KWS even when no training speech is available for the keywords. It also suggests an easier way to co...

The aim in this study was to examine protein synthesis in the liver tissue under the effect of exogenous electric fields applied in different intensitities and directions. Sixty male white guinea pigs, weighing 350-400 g were used for the study. The E field of 1.9 kV/m obtained from a DC (Direct Current) power supply with 300 V was applied in vertical direction to 10 guinea pigs, and in horizon...

the aim of this study was to design the strategic orientations model of market, brand and entrepreneurship in the food industry in iran.  the organizational decisions are not formed  in a vacuum but in the economic and cultural environmental context of each country, they are much influenced by many different factors. this study is of applied type and was conducted in two stages. first after an ...

In this paper, a model predictive control (MPC)-based coordinated scheduling framework for variable wind generation and battery energy storage systems (BESSs) is presented. On the basis of the short-term forecast of available wind generation and price information, a joint look-ahead optimization is performed by the wind farm and storage system to determine their net power injection to the elect...
