one of the significant strategies of the power systems is economic dispatch (ed) problem, which is defined as the optimal generation of power units to produce energy at the lowest cost by fulfilling the demand within several limits. the undeniable impacts of ramp rate limits, valve loading, prohibited operating zone, spinning reserve and multi-fuel option on the economic dispatch of practical p...

In this paper, we will present a modification of the preconditioned AOR-type method for solving the linear system. A theorem is given to show the convergence rate of modification of the preconditioned AOR methods that can be enlarged than the convergence AOR method.

phospholipase a1 is known as an effective catalyst for hydrolysis of various phospholipids in enzymatic vegetable oil degumming. immobilization is one of the most efficient strategies to improve its activity, recovery and functional properties. in this study, chitosan-co-polyethylene oxide (90:10) nanofibrous mat was successfully fabricated and modified with atmospheric plasma at different time...

different classes of autoantibodies against two antigenic forms of modified low density lipoprotein (mod-ldl) were detected in 140 patients by indirect elisa method. investigated autoantibodes included total immunoglobulins (igt). immunoglobulin g (igg), and immunoglobulin m (igm) against oxidized ldl with copper ions (ox-ldl) and modified ldl with malondialdehyde (mal-ldl) (igt-o) igt against ...

this paper reports the findings of a study designed to investigate english e-requestsof iranian efl postgraduate students (i.e., nonnative speakers of english) made totheir professors during their education at islamic azad university, najaf abadbranch, isfahan, iran, to find out types of politeness features employed in the students’e-mails and the extent to which these features might influence ...

in this research new adsorbents were prepared by modification of surfactant-coated g-alumina with three ligands; 1-(2-pyridylazo)-2-naphtol (pan), dithizone (hdz) and dimetyl golyoxime (dmg). the adsorbents were used for removal and pre-concentration of pb+2, cd+2, ni+2, cu+2, co+2. aqueous solutions of the metal ions were passed through a column filled with the adsorbent and the retained catio...

background :musculoskeletal disorders are among the most prevalent occupational disorders in different jobs such as office work. some interventions such as ergonomic modifications and workplace exercises are introduced as the methods for alleviating these disorders. in this study we compared the effect of ergonomic modifications and workplace exercises on musculoskeletal pain and discomfort in ...

The formation of microporosity in modified Al-Si alloys has been reviewed in the present study. A major concern in modification is the increased tendency to form microporosity in the macro-shrinkage free Al-Si alloy castings. It has also been demonstrated that at low hydrogen contents (0.1cc/ 100g, Al), where only shrinkage porosity should occur, the effect of Sr-modification on porosity conten...

The present research is concerned with the determination of ductility, over-strength and response modification factors of coupled steel shear wall frames. Three structural models with various numbers of stories, bay width and coupling beam height were analyzed using static pushover and incremental nonlinear dynamic analyses. The ductility, over-strength and response modification factors for the...
