Web includes digital libraries and billions of text documents. A fast and simple search through this sizeable set is important for users and researchers. Since manual or rule based document classification is a difficult, time consuming process, automatic classification systems are absolutely needed. Automatic text classification systems demand extensive and proper training data sets. To provide...

Continuously Heated Greenhouses: A production or retail greenhouse with a constantly maintained temperature of 50 degrees F or more during winter months. Such greenhouse must also have a maintenance attendant on duty at all times or an adequate temperature alarm system to provide warning in the event of a heating system failure. In addition, the greenhouse roof material must have a thermal resi...

Today due to increasing and evolving of electrical grids, the optimal and profitable energy production is among producers' major concerns. Thus, conventional ways of production and trading energy are being replaced by modern economical procedures. In addition, distributed energy resources (DERs) in form of renewable and conventional resources as well as responsive loads play an important role i...

The presence of responsive loads in the promising active distribution networks (ADNs) would definitely affect the power system problems such as distributed generations (DGs) studies. Hence, an optimal procedure is proposed herein which takes into account the simultaneous placement of DGs and smart meters (SMs) in ADNs. SMs are taken into consideration for the sake of successful implementing of ...

Abstract In this paper, we study the performance of various deep reinforcement learning algorithms to enhance energy management system a microgrid. We propose novel microgrid model that consists wind turbine generator, an storage system, set thermostatically controlled loads, price-responsive and connection main grid. The proposed is designed coordinate among different flexible sources by defin...

Extensive exploration is required to deploy mineralization as a tool develop low-cost yet efficient sustained drug release systems. Unlike previous studies which directly incorporated components in mineralized products, we propose an emerging approach synthesizing drug-loaded CaCO3 composites, relying on the synergistic occlusion of molecular solutions comprising both alginate hydrogel matrices...

On 19 July 2023, Dr. Sanjib Kumar Panda, an associate professor and the director of power energy research at National University Singapore (NUS) presented IEEE Distinguished Lecture (DL) titled “Renewable Energy Source Integration to Microgrids” School Engineering, Leicester, U.K. ( <xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig1" xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/199...

in this paper effect of pile-soil consideration in obtaining seismic response offshore structure is assessed due to earthquake loading. inducedseismic force is one of the most important excitations for the dynamic response of an offshore structure. according to api, seismic forces should be accounted in platform design for seismically active regions in order to determine the allowable seismic r...

Specific delivery of therapeutic agents to solid tumors and their bioavailability at the target site are the most clinically important and challenging goals in cancer therapy. Liposomes are promising nanocarriers and have been well investigated for cancer therapy. In spite of preferred accumulation in tumors via the enhanced permeability and retention (EPR) effect, inefficient drug release at t...
