Strategic capital budgeting: asset replacement under market uncertainty [PDF]

, 2002
In this paper the impact of product market uncertainty on the optimal replacement timing of a production facility is studied. The existing production facility can be replaced by a technologically more advanced and thus more cost-effective one.

Improving Power Delivery of Grid-Connected Induction Machine Based Wind Generators Under Dynamic Conditions Using Feedforward Linear Neural Networks

IEEE Access, 2023
In the conventional grid-connected Wind Energy Conversion System (WECS), the generator side inverter is typically controlled via Field Oriented Control (FOC), while Voltage Oriented Control (VOC) controls the grid side inverter. However, robust operation

Enhanced antioxidant properties and bioavailability of naringenin through EGCG-modified alfalfa ferritin nanoparticles

Journal of Agriculture and Food Research
Phytoferritin is widely used for encapsulating bioactive molecules due to its nanocavity and surface modification ease. This study presented a novel approach by covalently conjugating epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) to the surface of alfalfa ferritin ...

A Framework for Evaluating Motion Segmentation Algorithms

, 2017
There have been many proposals for algorithms segmenting human whole-body motion in the literature. However, the wide range of use cases, datasets, and quality measures that were used for the evaluation render the comparison of algorithms challenging. In

Molecular Profiling of Genes Associated With Methylphenidate Pathway Therapy and Discovery of New Variants in Amazonian Amerindian Populations

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part B: Neuropsychiatric Genetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), methylphenidate is one of the most widely used drugs, in which patient response significantly impacts prognosis. This study aimed to characterize the molecular profile of 10 genes associated with methylphenidate therapy.
