This paper proposes an algorithm for transmission cost allocation (TCA) in a large power system based on nodal pricing approach using the multi-area scheme. The nodal pricing approach is introduced to allocate the transmission costs by the control of nodal prices in a single area network. As the number of equations is dependent on the number of buses and generators, this method will be very ti...

In this paper, we develop a revenue management model to jointly make the capacity allocation and overbooking decisions over an airline network. Our approach begins with the dynamic programming formulation of the capacity allocation and overbooking problem and uses an approximation strategy to decompose the dynamic programming formulation by the flight legs. This decomposition idea opens up the ...

this research presents a mathematical model for oil and gas optimal allocation to different sectors in iran using operations research techniques. sectors are residential and commercial, transportation, industries, agriculture, exports, injection to oil reservoirs and power plans as a secondary energy producer. optimal allocation of energy resources to end-uses from 2011 to 2021 has been done us...

We consider the problem of allocating routes in multiplecommodity networks. In such networks, a user can directly download the ‘desired file from a server, or she can do this via a indirectly route to the server if others on the route choose to share their bandwidths. A key feature of such networks is that a user may benefit from exchanging her bandwidth with others to improve the download effi...

The effectiveness of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) for the assignment of cattle to their source breeds was investigated by analysing a panel of 90 SNPs assayed on 24 European breeds. Breed assignment was performed by comparing the Bayesian and frequentist methods implemented in the STRUCTURE 2.2 and GENECLASS 2 software programs. The use of SNPs for the reallocation of known individual...

ABSTRACT Embedded systems exe uting spe ialized programs are playing an in reasing role in omputing. This trend has inreased the demand for pro essors that an guarantee highperforman e under stringent ost, power and ode size onstraints. Indire t addressing is by far the most used addressing mode in programs running on these systems, sin e it enables the design of small and faster instru tions. ...

The paper addresses the distributed path computation and rate allocation problems for video delivery over multipath networks. The streaming rate on each path is determined such that the end-to-end media distortion is minimized, when a media client aggregates packets received via multiple network channels to the streaming server. In common practical scenarios, it is, however, difficult for the s...

the aim of this study was to compare the effect of time of parthenogenetic activation (22 hr versus 27 hr after in vitro maturation-ivm) on in vitro development of ovine oocytes using either single (ionomycin 5 ?m for 5 min or ethanol 7% for 7 min) or combined (ionomycin and ethanol with 6-dmap 2 mm for 3 hr) activation treatments. the abattoir-derived in vitro matured activated oocytes were cu...

Several recent studies suggest that co-allocation techniques can improve user performance for distributed data retrieval in replicated grid systems. These studies demonstrate that co-allocation techniques can improve network bandwidth and network transfer times by concurrently utilizing as many data grid replicas as possible. However, these prior studies evaluate their techniques from a single ...

Resource allocation within individuals may often be hierarchical, and this may have important effects on genetic correlations and on trait evolution. For example, organisms may divide energy between reproduction and somatic growth and then subdivide reproductive resources. Genetic variation in allocation to pathways early in such hierarchies (e.g., reproduction) can cause positive genetic corre...
