due to its complexity and destructive nature, convection has been subject of many studies and researches among weather phenomena throughout the world. scientists have attempted for decades to generate different types of models to provide the possibility of abating or, at least, reducing convective weather phenomena effects on people’s lives. in south or southwest of iran, people are familiar wi...

A set of technical, administrative and management activities are done in the life cycle of equipment, to be located in good condition and have proper and expected functioning. This is refers to be, maintenance management system (MMS). The framework and models of assessment in order to enhance effectiveness of a MMS could be proposed in two categories: qualitative and quantitative. In this resea...

Within the decision support system area of research, there is a growing body of work focusing on the topic of Model Management (MM). This paper proposes extending the concept of a Model Management System (MMS) to function within and exploit the capabilities of a distributed computing environment. A framework for research in Distributed MMS (DMMS) is discussed. In this framework, distribution of...

Mobile applications such as multimedia messaging service (MMS) promises a new way to share rich content of information that enhances its users’ personal connectivity experiences as well as productivity. However, the adoption of MMS seems to be unexpectedly slow (Bonte, 2008). As mobile phones become ever smarter (or complex) in functions, understanding the adoption behaviors of complex mobile s...

We characterize the equilibria of a dynamic model of electoral competition under alternative voting rules. Electoral competition is modeled as a dynamic extension of a standard probabilistic voting model in which public debt is a state variable creating a strategic linkage across electoral cycles. In any given state of the economy, a proportional system (PS) generates stronger incentives to pro...

Wheel/rail contact simulation is one of the most complicated problems in the modeling of railway vehicles. The wheel/rail interaction plays a unique role in rail vehicle dynamics. In this paper, the dynamic response of the wheel on irregular rail track is analyzed with analytical approach using the method of Multiple Scales (MMS). The Hertzian contact theory is used to obtain the relationshi...

PURPOSE The most common γ-aminobutyric-acid (GABA) editing approach, MEGA-PRESS, uses J-editing to measure GABA distinct from larger overlapping metabolites, but suffers contamination from coedited macromolecules (MMs) comprising 40 to 60% of the observed signal. MEGA-SPECIAL is an alternative method with better MM suppression, but is not widely used primarily because of its relatively poor spa...

I conducted research to enable the US Minerals Management Service (MMS) to maximize natural gas royalties. MMS is the agency of the US Department of the Interior responsible for managing mineral royalties. As part of managing royalties, MMS decides whether to accept royalties in value (cash payment, RIV) or in kind (physical transfer of gas, RIK). When MMS collects RIK, it also decides how to t...

This paper presents a real time digital simulator based test system as a new method for testing microgrid management system (MMS). This system is composed of a real time digital simulator and a developed communication emulator. Real time digital simulator runs a simulation case for microgrid model and distributed generation source model. Communication module emulates communication functions of ...
