This study presents the performance-based seismic assessment of low-rise reinforced concrete archetype buildings, considering repair costs for ordinary moment-resistant frames (OMF) and dual systems consisting of OMF plus special shear walls (SSW).Historically, the OMF systems, conceived for residential purposes in Ecuador resulting from informal c
This paper presents an efficient Artificial Bee Colony (ABC) algorithm for solving large scale economic load dispatch (ELD) problems in power networks.To realize the ELD, the valve-point loading effect, system load demand, power losses, ramp rate limits and prohibited operation zones are considered here.Simulations were performed on four different
Patients treated in the intensive care unit (ICU) are closely monitored and Paddles receive intensive treatment.Such aggressive monitoring and treatment will generate high-granularity data from both electronic healthcare records and nursing charts.These data not only provide infrastructure for daily clinical practice but also can help to inform cli
