This article introduces the Generalised Relaxed Radon Transform (GR2T) as an extension to the Generalised Radon Transform (GRT) [1]. This new modelling allows us to define a new framework for robust inference. The resulting objective functions are probability density functions that can be chosen differentiable and that can be optimised using gradient methods. One of this cost function is alread...

this paper proposes an optimal power flow (opf) algorithm by direct load control (dlc) programs to optimize the operational cost of smart grids considering various scenarios based on different constraints. the cost function includes active power production cost of available power sources and a novel flexible load curtailment cost associated with dlc programs. the load curtailment cost is based ...

Some scientists are interesting to study in area of harvested ecological modelling. The harvested population dynamics is more realistic than other ecological models. In the present paper, some of the Lotka-Volterra predator-prey models have been considered. In the said models, existing species are harvested by constant or variable growth rates. The behavior of their solutions has been analyzed ...

in this project, first we introduced a general rule for the design of drying processes and then, we have applied microsoft excel for this purpose. belt dryer is one of the most common dryers in the food industry. in this study, our aim was to process carrot by this dryer. we optimized the target function (total annual cost or tac) and investigated the influence of design variables on this targe...

In geotechnical engineering, rock mechanics and engineering geology, depending on the project design, uniaxial strength and static Youngchr('39')s modulus of rocks are of vital importance. The direct determination of the aforementioned parameters in the laboratory, however, requires intact and high-quality cores and preparation of their specimens have some limitations. Moreover, performing thes...

The paper presents a modelling methodology for small scale multi-source renewable energy systems. Using historical site-specific weather data, the relationships of cost, availability and energy form are visualised as a function of the sizing of photovoltaic arrays, wind turbines, and battery capacity. The specific dependency of each site on its own particular weather patterns show that unique s...

Corpus-based speech synthesis performance depends on the skill to model and represent appropriately all the characteristics of the speech units that serve as a basis for concatenation. Although there is usually general agreement in the set of essential features (fundamental frequency, duration, power and phonetic context), it is still an open question the proper way of modelling them and consid...

Predictive modelling in the ®eld of dependability, such as repair cost modelling, is usually based on the failure intensity function of repairable systems. The experience feedback data needed to estimate the failure intensity function is, however, seldom available due to the unique character of the systems. Thus approaches that can capture the tacit knowledge of designers, operators and mainten...

Using mathematical behaviour models to determine system performance is crucial to the design of complex systems. Nevertheless, during the early stages of design, it is often difficult to create behavioural models as component solutions have not been fully identified. What is known is information about the desired functionality of the system is known. Particularly for complex system design, func...
