Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsHydropower System Management Considering the Minimum OutflowM. L. Arganis, R. DomínguezThis paper deals with the operating rules of the Grijalva River hydropower serial system obtained by means of stochastic dynamic programming and its subsequent simulation using historical records and synthetic series. Penalties in spills and deficit were considered in optimum policies. During simulation several restrictions were added to the original problem, particularly to ensure minimum outflow so as to guarantee … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 3 · 30 Jun 2008 · 6,544 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractATLCEP: A New Integrated Design that Encompasses the Safety and Efficacy Objectives of Phase I/II TrialsRevathi Ananthakrishnan, Stephanie Green, Mark Chang et al.Several designs, such as designs to find the optimal biological dose, the Eff-Tox design and seamless Phase I/II designs, have been proposed to evaluate both drug toxicity and efficacy as alternatives to the traditional paradigm of a stepwise drug development approach. Here, we first examine the effect of sample and cohort size on the accuracy of dose selection in early … …Current Research in Biostatistics, Vol. 7, Issue 2 · 7 Apr 2018 · 7,983 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCombustion Analysis of a CI Engine Performance Using Waste Cooking Biodiesel Fuel with an Artificial Neural Network AidGholamhassan NAJAFI, Barat GHOBADIAN, Talal F. YUSAF, Hadi RAHIMIA comprehensive combustion analysis has been conducted to evaluate the performance of a commercial DI engine, water cooled two cylinders, in-line, naturally aspirated, RD270 Ruggerini diesel engine using waste vegetable cooking oil as an alternative fuel. In order to compare the brake power and the torques values of the engine, it has been tested under same operating conditions with diesel … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2007 · 8,196 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDETECTING ASSET IMPAIRMENT EARNINGS MANAGEMENT ON IFRS CONTEXT: SOME EVIDENCE FROM GREEK LISTED COMPANIESEkaterini C. Laskaridou, Vazakidis Athanasios, Athianos StergiosThe purpose of this study is two fold: (a) to bring on issues of asset impairment manipulation in the IFRS context (b) to examine, any statistical inference validating impairment discretionary charges and firms’ earning experience. The Impairment Accounting Standard (IAS 36), enters new requirements for asset impairment provided to satisfying accrued loss amounts. Earning Management through the use of asset … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 6 · 10 Apr 2014 · 7,687 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTakagi-Sugeno Fuzzy Gains Scheduled PI Controller for Enhancement of Power System StabilityLokman H. Hassan, M. Moghavvemi, Haider A.F. MohamedProblem statement: Power system oscillations affect system stability and may lead to failure if not properly controlled. Approach: A Takagi-Sugeno Fuzzy Gains Scheduled Proportional and Integral (FGPI) controller was proposed for a Thyristor Controlled Series Capacitor (TCSC)-based stabilizer to enhance the power system stability. Linguistic rules and fuzzy inference mechanism are utilized to tune the controller parameters on-line in different … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2010 · 7,545 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Advantages of PID Fuzzy Controllers Over The Conventional TypesAbdullah I. Al-Odienat, Ayman A. Al-LawamaFuzzy logic controllers (FLC's) have the following advantages over the conventional controllers: they are cheaper to develop, they cover a wider range of operating conditions, and they are more readily customizable in natural language terms. A self-organizing fuzzy controller can automatically refine an initial approximate set of fuzzy rules. Application of PI-type fuzzy controller increases the quality factor. In this … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2008 · 18,041 accessesView PDF Cite
