The mechanized drawn arc stud welding is a well established process in steel construction for joining technique pin shaped elements, especially the field of composite constructions. Therefore, commonly applied on sites under different climatic conditions. characterized by its relatively high heat input due to current and weld pool protection that realized ceramic ferrule holding metal vapor as ...

in practical situations, distribution network loads are the mixtures of residential, industrial, and commercial types. this paper presents a hybrid optimization algorithm for the optimal placement of shunt capacitor banks in radial distribution networks in the presence of different voltage-dependent load models. the algorithm is based on the combination of genetic algorithm (ga) and binary part...

Between 1990 and 1998, the author published five conference papers which described the gradual development of a simple theoretical model for predicting the sound insulation of building partitions. The first aim was to extend Sharp’s model for cavity walls to cavities without sound absorption. The second aim was to remove the reported over prediction of Sharp’s model for cavity walls. The third ...

[Moore and Repullo, Econometrica 58 (1990) 1083-1099] and [Dutta and Sen, Rev. Econom. Stud. 58 (1991) 121-128] are two fundamental papers on two-agent Nash implementation. Both of them are based on Maskin’s classic paper [Maskin, Rev. Econom. Stud. 66 (1999) 23-38]. A recent work [Wu, http://arxiv.org/abs/1002.4294, Inter. J. Quantum Information, 2010 (accepted)] shows that when an additional ...
