The model is capable of representing the impedance or admittance characteristics of the transformer measured from the terminals under different terminal connections up to approximately 200 kHz. The model is simple, so that the simulation with this model is easy and fast. It is feasible to use the model as a two port element by network analyzing. To estimation of model parameters genetic algorithm have been used. The first stage, all necessary tests are carried out on the 2500 KVA, 6300/420 V transformer. Thereafter, the model parameters are estimated using genetic algorithm toolbox in MATLAB. The comparison between calculated and measured quantities confirms that the accuracy of the proposed method in the middle transient frequency domain is satisfactory.","PeriodicalId":282587,"journal":{"name":"2010 18th Iranian Conference on Electrical Engineering","volume":"37 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-05-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133806893","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In each case, the spacing and phase of excitation between the two elements is adjusted to achieve the highest directivity over the widest frequency band. It is shown that the PMLP antenna with element spacing of 2 cm can produce 7.6–10.1 dB of directivity over the 3–8 GHz band. This antenna has an efficiency of 60–91% over the bandwidth.

Therefore, there is a big interest in the formal specification, verification, and development of probabilistic programs. On the other hand, Martin-Löf's theory of types is an appropriate notation for formal program development since it allows us to express both specifications and programs within the same formalism. Furthermore, the proof rules of this theory can be used to derive a correct program from a specification as well as to verify that a given program has a certain property. In this paper, we augment Martin-Löf's theory of types with a simple probabilistic construct enabling us to specify probabilistic programs formally. Furthermore, having such a construct, we can derive functional, probabilistic programs from correctness proofs of their formal specifications written in the new type theoretical formalism.","PeriodicalId":282587,"journal":{"name":"2010 18th Iranian Conference on Electrical Engineering","volume":"94 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-05-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115202873","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Most common method for evaluating LMPs in electricity markets is DCOPF-based approach. Major limitation of DCOPF is the error produced by neglecting the effect of reactive power flows in line loading. This paper describes a method to incorporate this effect. The method can be easily integrated into existing LMP calculation software because the computation remains based on DCOPF. The proposed method is applied to the PJM 5-bus system and to the IEEE 24-bus Reliability Test System.

The comparison study used both simulated fMRI-like data generated using the synthesis model and actual fMRI data performing an audio-visual stimulation task. The results were evaluated by task-related activation maps and associated time-courses. Based on our result, Infomax emerged as a reliable choice for the task followed by JADE.

For the proposed noise model, we apply particle filter to estimate CIR, which is rooted in Bayesian estimation and Monte Carlo simulation. To our knowledge, the implementation of the Particle filter is novel for such a system. Furthermore we compared performance of Kalman filter and Particle filter in the presence of non_gaussian noise environment.

Then the second unit classifies words into the proper classes. To fulfill this intention, self-adaptive HMM calculates word's likelihood of each existed class and finally support vector machine (SVM) classifies it by using all classes' likelihood as an input vector.
