in practice, obtaining the global optimum for the economic dispatch {bf (ed)}problem with ramp rate limits and prohibited operating zones is presents difficulties. this paper presents a new andefficient method for solving the economic dispatch problem with non-smooth cost functions using afuzzy adaptive genetic algorithm (faga). the proposed algorithm  deals  with the issue ofcontrolling the ex...

This article seeks to reframe the ethical discussion of genetic enhancement, which is the use of genetic engineering to supply a characteristic that a parent might want in a child that does not involve the treatment or prevention of disease. I consider whether it is likely that enhancement can be successfully prohibited. If genetic enhancement is feasible, it is likely that there will be demand...

A secret sharing scheme for the prohibited structure is a method of sharing a master key among a finite set of participants in such a way that only certain pre-specified subsets of participants cannot recover the master key. A secret sharing scheme is called perfect if any subset of participants who cannot recover the master key obtains no information regarding the master key. In this paper, we...
