This paper presents a methodology for maintenance scheduling (MS) of generators using binary particle swarm optimization (BPSO) based probabilistic approach. The objective of this paper is to reduce the loss of load probability (LOLP) for a power system. The capacity outage probability table (COPT) is the initial step in creating maintenance schedule using the probabilistic levelized risk metho...

------ARSTRACT-----Corn germ protein isolate (CGP[) was partially hydrolyzed with tryp~ sin and pepsin and succinylated at three levels. Various functional and electrophoretic properties of the native and modified protein were determined. Water absorption and foaming properties of COPT were improved by panial hydrolysis with trypsin: emulsifying capacity and nitrogen solubility were reduced~ oi...

Tunable behavior in electrocatalysis by external multifields, such as magnetic field, thermal and electric is the most promising strategy to expand theory, design, synthesis of state-of-the-art catalysts cell near future. Here, a systematic investigation for effect field on methanol oxidation reactions (MOR) nanoparticles reported. For Co42Pt58 truncated octahedral (TONPs), catalytic performanc...

Abstract Thermally driven desiccant- and evaporative cooling-based technologies are promising greener cheaper alternatives to compressor-based systems due the separate handling of latent sensible loads. Desiccant air-conditioning (DAC) comprise a desiccant dehumidifier, cooling unit, heat source for regeneration, recovery unit. These components DAC system can be arranged in various ways give di...

In this paper, we give a O(log copt)-approximation algorithm for the point guard problem where copt is the optimal number of guards. Our algorithm runs in time polynomial in n, the number of walls of the art gallery and the spread ∆, which is defined as the ratio between the longest and shortest pairwise distances. Our algorithm is pseudopolynomial in the sense that it is polynomial in the spre...

The magnetocrystalline anisotropy Ku of continuous Co1−xPtx alloy films peaks at 30 at. % of Pt. Further increase in Pt at. % decreases Ku quickly probably due to the increasing density of stacking faults SFs and the fcc phases. The effect of substrate bias has been studied in various compositions of CoPt films. Ku increases from 8 10 6 to 1.1 107 ergs /cm3 when 50 V bias was applied to Co60Pt4...
