State-of-charge (SoC) dependent bidding allows merchant storage participants to incorporate SoC-dependent operation and opportunity costs in a bid-based market clearing process. However, such bid results non-convex cost function the multi-interval economic dispatch clearing, limiting its implementation practice. We show that simple restriction on format removes non-convexity, making of bids sta...

This paper develops a method for nodal pricing and market clearing mechanism considering reliability of the system. The effects of components reliability on electricity price, market participants’ profit and system social welfare is considered. This paper considers reliability both for evaluation of market participant’s optimality as well as for fair pricing and market clearing mechanism. To ac...

Three-dimensional visualization of intact tissues is now being achieved by turning tissues transparent. CLARITY is a unique tissue clearing technique, which features the use of detergents to remove lipids from fixed tissues to achieve optical transparency. To preserve tissue integrity, an acrylamide-based hydrogel has been proposed to embed the tissue. In this study, we examined the rationale b...

We investigate the computational complexity of clearing markets in a continuous call double auction. In the simplest case, when any part of any bid can be matched with any part of any ask, the market can be cleared optimally in log-linear time. We present two generalizations, motivated by electronic marketplaces for the process industry, where: (a) there exist assignment constraints on which bi...

During cytokinesis, a signal from the central spindle that forms between the separating anaphase chromosomes promotes the accumulation of contractile ring components at the cell equator, while a signal from the centrosomal microtubule asters inhibits accumulation of contractile ring components at the cell poles. However, the molecular identity of the inhibitory signal has remained unknown. To i...

* [email protected], [email protected] (only before June 3, 1999) Abstract This paper presents DC clearing field to clear ions in vacuum pipe of Hefei ring. It also presents changes of focusing structure parameters caused by the clearing field. It concludes that tune shifts caused by the field are related to real-time close orbit of the beam. The paper points out that the field as...
