Transmit power control (TPC) is used in high speed uplink packet access (HSUPA) to compensate for the near far effect which degrades system performance. However, its use in joint application with turbo coding, and hybrid automatic repeat request (Hybrid-ARQ) is very prohibitive and time consuming. In this article, we propose a simplified simulation methodology for power controlled HSUPA with Hy...

This study deals with joint decisions on pricing and production lot-sizing in a closed-loop supply chain consisting of manufacturing and remanufacturing operations. This study emphasizes the economic analysis of this hybrid system with substitution between the new and the remanufactured versions of the same product. We develop analytical models under a newsvendor framework bearing the following...

This paper proposes a cost-effective way to design and operate fuel cell hybrid electric trucks (FCHETs) where chance-constrained optimization is formulated. The aim of the introduced problem minimize summation component cost operational with consideration (FC) degradation cycle life energy buffer. We propose decompose into two sub-problems that are solved by sequential convex programming. deli...

In this paper we present a hybrid control scheme, combining the advantages of task-space and joint-space control. The controller is based on a human-like adaptive design, which minimises both control effort and tracking error. Our novel hybrid adaptive controller has been tested in extensive simulations, in a scenario where a Baxter robot manipulator is affected by external disturbances in the ...

This paper addresses a central concern in modeling and simulating electric grids and the information infrastructure that monitors and controls them. As the electric power infrastructure incorporates modern computing and communication technology, joint (hybrid) simulations of continuous power system models and discrete event models of communication, computation, and control operations become ess...

We present a photonic-plasmonic mode converter using modecoupling-based polarization rotation for connecting a silicon wire and hybrid plasmonic waveguides on a metal-inserted silicon platform. By using the polarization rotator based on defect-introduced silicon wire waveguide, the proposed mode converter can convert the photonic TE mode into the hybrid plasmonic TM mode. At the beginning, to i...
