Novel wireless-communicating textiles made from multi-material and minimally-invasive fibers
(2014)
The ability to integrate multiple materials into miniaturized fiber structures enables the realization of novel biomedical textile devices with higher-level functionalities and minimally-invasive attributes. In this work, ...
Multi-period design and planning of closed-loop supply chains with uncertain supply and demand
(Elsevier, 2014-03)
A design and planning approach is proposed for addressing general multi-period, multi-product Closed-Loop Supply Chains (CLSCs), structured as a 10-layer network (5 forward plus 5 reverse flows), with uncertain levels in ...
TWO DECOMPOSITION APPROACHES APPLIED TO THE MULTI-AREA OPTIMAL REACTIVE POWER FLOW PROBLEM
(Univ Nac Colombia, Fac Nac Minas, 2010-06-01)
This paper applies two methods of mathematical decomposition to carry out an optimal reactive power flow (ORPF) in a coordinated decentralized way in the context of an interconnected multi-area power system. The first ...

Spatial load forecasting using a demand propagation approach
(2011-05-31)
A method for spatial electric load forecasting using multi-agent systems, especially suited to simulate the local effect of special loads in distribution systems is presented. The method based on multi-agent systems uses ...
Factors affecting Kleptoparasitism by gulls in a multi-species seabird colony
(Cooper Ornithological Society, 2010-07)
Kleptoparasitism is defined as the stealing by one animal of food that has been caught by another. It is a well-known foraging tactic used opportunistically by many seabirds. Our study describes qualitatively and quantitatively ...
Multivariable decoupling set-point approach applied to a wastewater treatment plant
(2016-10-21)
This paper presents a formulation for the inclusion of the second degree of freedom for MIMO system for decoupling purposes. The proposal is specially effective when combined with decentralized feedback controllers. Loop ...

An improved multi-unit nuclear plant seismic probabilistic risk assessment approach
(Elsevier Science BV, 2018)
This paper proposes an improved approach to external event probabilistic risk assessment for multi-unit sites. It considers unit-to-unit dependencies based on the integration of the copula notion, importance sampling, and ...
