Models to search for optimal operation rules of complex water resources systems generally represent the physical system in a fixed static form, being difficult to incorporate changes in water offer, water demand and system ...

This paper proposes a decision support system for the National Interconnected System in Brazil. The developed decision support system is a tool that uses a DC optimal power flow to obtain the operating status of the network ...

In deep space manned travels, the crew life will be totally dependent on the environment control and life support system of the spacecraft. A life-support system for manned missions is a set of technologies to regenerate ...

A key process for post-secondary educational institutions is the definition of course timetables and classroom assignments. Manual scheduling methods require enormous amounts of time and resources to deliver results of ...

In this work, the classical soft-margin Support Vector Machine (SVM) formulation is redefined with the inclusion of an Ordered Weighted Averaging (OWA) operator. In particular, the hinge loss function is rewritten as a ...

During the petroleum well drilling operation many mechanical and hydraulic parameters are monitored by an instrumentation system installed in the rig called a mud-logging system. These sensors, distributed in the rig, ...
