In this paper, rstly, potential synthesis cases in distributed expert systems (DESs) and types of DESs are identiied. Based on these results, necessary conditions of synthesis strategies in diierent synthesis cases are recognized. Secondly, two methodologies for designing synthesis strategies in distributed expert systems are investigated. They are analysis methods, and inductive methods. Third...

Percutaneous coronary intervention is the most prevalent method for coronary artery revascularization. Initial interventions using balloon angioplasty had limited efficacy because coronary dissections, arterial recoil, and neointimal formation led to high rates of abrupt vessel closure and clinical restenosis. With the introduction of coronary stents, vascular dissections were stabilized and ar...

Abstract: This paper considers the contribution of independent owners (IOs) operating within microgrids (MGs) toward green power generation in deregulated energy markets. An optimization scheme is introduced for sizing distributed renewable generation (DRG) and a distributed energy storage system (DESS) based on a novel energy management system (EMS) that accounts for demand response (DR), DESS...

Deep eutectic solvents (DESs) are a potentially high-value lignin extraction methodology. DESs prepared from choline chloride (ChCl) and three hydrogen-bond donors (HBD)-lactic acid (Lac), glycerol, and urea-were evaluated for isolation of willow (Salix matsudana cv. Zhuliu) lignin. DESs types, mole ratio of ChCl to HBD, extraction temperature, and time on the fractionated DES-lignin yield demo...

In this paper, a software tool to deal with diagnosis of discrete event systems (DESs) is presented. This tool called On-the-Fly PEtri-Net-based Diagnosability Analyzer (OF-PENDA) implements the techniques developed in [13] for the diagnosis of DESs modeled by labeled Petri nets (LPNs). This technique aims to cope with the state explosion problem which is a major issue when dealing with diagnos...

BACKGROUND Among patients with very small vessel disease and chronic kidney disease (CKD), the comparative efficacy of bare metal stents (BMSs) versus drug-eluting stents (DESs) is not frequently addressed. This study aimed to evaluate the long-term outcomes of patients with very small vessel disease managed with percutaneous coronary intervention. METHODS Our study included 158 consecutive p...

Co-simulation is a key tool in the design and operation of a growing number of complex cyber-systems. But efficiently yet accurately combining continuous time components (such as FMUs) with event-based ones can be challenging, both from a modeling perspective and an operational, tools-oriented one. We propose a platform to tackle this problem building up on MECSYCO, a MAS-based DEVS wrapping pl...

Several formalisms have been defined to represent combined continuous and discrete event simulation models. In the “Theory of Modeling and Simulation” the DEV&DESS formalism was shown to have the properties expected from a universal representation of such models. Also it was shown that DEVS can provide accurate simulations of DESS (Differential Equation Specified System) models. In this paper, ...
