Abstract The allocation of bureaucrats across tasks constitutes a pivotal instrument for achieving an organisation’s objectives. In this paper, I measure the performance World Bank by combining universe task assignment with evaluation outcome and bureaucrat CVs. introduce two stylised facts. First, correlates features individual characteristics. Second, there exists negative assortative matchin...

Congestion management is one of the technical challenges in power system deregulation. This paper presents single objective optimization approach for optimal choice, location and size of Static Var Compensators (SVC) and Thyristor Controlled Series Capacitors (TCSC) in power system to improve branch loading (minimize congestion), improve voltage stability and reduce line losses. Though FACTS co...

This paper concerns the optimal location of Flexible AC Transmission Systems (FACTS) in multimachine power system using Genetic Algorithm. The objective is to obtain the bus voltages of the system within healthy limits. TCSC is the FACT device chosen for the proposed algorithm. The location of FACT devices and their rated values are optimized simultaneously. Simulations are done on a power syst...

Epilepsy surgery is chosen as the main example in order to show that an abstract ethical discussion may have concrete implications for epilepsy outcome resarch. As an introduction, a few elementary facts and distinctions concerning health-economic analyses will be recapitulated. After that, you will be introduced to a certain discussion in the recent philosophical literature, and a thesis about...

This paper proposes a continuous-time framework that explains some stylised facts in recent “twin crises” episodes. I show that access to the world capital market enables the domestic economy to achieve a more efficient allocation of resources. However, the banking sector becomes more fragile when this international borrowing is wealth-constrained. A temporary shock is amplified and becomes per...

This paper propose a new strategy for commander (or decision maker) to handle the resource allocation problem, on purpose of striving for victory in combat, by combining the fuzzy theory and feedback control approach in single/multiple complex campaigns. Different from those articles highlighting the exact amount of troops, tank, and etc., this article provides a flexible way to consider the af...

Nowadays, the use of demand response programs (DRPs) in a variety long-term and short-term planning problems has been explored. In this paper, generation transmission expansion (GTEP) model along with FACTS device allocation is presented. Furthermore, are taken into account for more load flexibility. The proposed presented as multi-objective minimizing problem considering emission, cost, voltag...

The introduction of the flexible AC transmission system (FACTS) in the power system reduces the losses, reduces the cost of the generation, improves the stability and also improves the load capability of the system. Some application of the Flexible AC transmission system (FACTS) technologies to existing high voltage power system has proves the use of FACTS technology may be a cost effective opt...

The role of Independent System Operator (ISO) in the restructured power industry includes system control, capacity planning, transmission tariff and congestion management; the challenging task being minimizing the congestion. One of the popular techniques used to alleviate congestion is using Flexible AC Transmission Systems (FACTS) devices. The power system generally operates near its rated ca...
