this paper presents an application of benders decomposition to deal with the complexities in the simultaneous generation expansion planning (gep) and transmission expansion planning (tep). unlike the power system operation fields of study, the power system planning methods are not expected to be fast. however, it is always preferable to speed up computations to provide more analysis options for...

in this paper, the potential of polarimetric sar data using target decomposition features to detect oil pollutions are evaluated. for this purpose, the values of power, phase and magnitude of all of the polarization channels (hh, vv, hv and vh) and decomposition features i.e. freeman, yamaguchi, vanzyl and krogager are computed. then, to detect oil pollutions, different combinations of these fe...

The carboxyl-terminal one-third of human topoisomerase II polypeptide expressed in Escherichia coli was used as antigen to generate polyclonal antibodies in rabbits. With the use of antiserum, DNA topoi somerase II levels of phytohemagglutinin-stimulated human lymphocytes were measured by immunoblotting. Our results showed that the increase in intracellular topoisomerase II level paralleled the...

abstract incorporation of plant residues in soils is an important agricultural practice for maintaining soil fertility under organic management systems. plant residues quality, soil physical and chemical properties, and the microbial population diversity of soils are the most important factors influencing the decomposition of added organic matter to soils. decomposition rate of municipal wastes...

a complex of cu(ii) with 1-(6-hydroxynaphthalen-2-yl) butane-1,3-dione (hnbd) was synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, ir, uv and dta-tg-dtg techniques.    ir spectra as well as uv-visible absorption measurements indicated that cu(ii) ion was coordinated to the hnbd ligand. the tg-dta-dtg curves showed that thermal decomposition of the anhydrous complex was a two-stage process a...

In this paper, the Kadomtsev-Petviashvili equation is solved by using the Adomian’s decomposition method , modified Adomian’s decomposition method , variational iteration method , modified variational iteration method, homotopy perturbation method, modified homotopy perturbation method and homotopy analysis method. The existence and uniqueness of the solution and convergence of the proposed...

The topological indices, defined as the sum of contributions of all pairs of vertices (among which are the Wiener, Harary, hyper–Wiener indices, degree distance, and many others), are expressed in terms of contributions of edges and pairs of edges.

to determine the effects of vinasse on physicochemical properties of a calcareous and an acidic soil experiment was factorial and had a complete randomized design and three replications. factorial combinations of five vinasse levels (0, 5, 10, 20 and 40 t/ha) and three exposure times (10, 20 and 30 days) were considered as the treatments of this experiment. the result of experiment showed that ...

the minimal prime decomposition for semiprime ideals is defined and studied on z-ideals of c(x). the necessary and sufficient condition for existence of the minimal prime decomposition of a z-ideal / is given, when / satisfies one of the following conditions: (i) / is an intersection of maximal ideals. (ii) i is an intersection of o , s, when x is basically disconnected. (iii) i=o , when x x ha...
