Optimal Placement of Photovoltaic Distributed Generation Units in Radial Unbalanced Distribution Systems Using MATLAB and OpenDSS-Based Cosimulation and a Proposed Metaheuristic Algorithm

International Transactions on Electrical Energy Systems, 2022
In this paper, an improved slime mould algorithm (ISMA) is proposed for finding the optimal location and sizing of photovoltaic distributed generation units (PVDGUs) in unbalanced distribution systems (UDSs).

Greens in Regulation: Biodiversity Strategy Implementation Across the Golf Industry

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Although much of the business and biodiversity literature focuses on extractive industries, we turn our attention to the golf industry. Golf courses occupy millions of acres globally, yet biodiversity strategy implementation across the golf industry remains understudied.

Estimating ski orientation using IMUs in alpine skiing

Current Issues in Sport Science
Ski-snow interaction is the essential component of alpine skiing. To understand how a skier manipulates his ski to turn, we need to develop methods to measure the orientation of the ski throughout a complete run.

Nonasymptotic bounds on the mean square error for MCMC estimates via renewal techniques [PDF]

, 2010
The Nummellin’s split chain construction allows to decompose a Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) trajectory into i.i.d. "excursions". Regenerative MCMC algorithms based on this technique use a random number of samples.

The Carina Project. VI. The helium burning variable stars

, 2013
We present new optical (BVI) time-series data for the evolved variable stars in the Carina dwarf spheroidal galaxy. The quality of the data and the observing strategy allowed us to identify 14 new variable stars.

Letting People in: Redefining Collaboration in Wildland–Urban Interface Governance

Environmental Policy and Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Intensifying wildfire regimes and expanding human settlements into wilderness areas have heightened concerns about the wildland–urban interface (WUI) due to the associated increase in fire risk. However, the WUI presents broader social‐ecological challenges that go beyond wildfire risk and remain understudied.

CORRELATION BETWEEN DIFFERENT MOTOR ABILITIES AND SCORE POINTS IN THE RAUCH CUP

Annales Kinesiologiae, 2018
In alpine skiing like in other sports, achieving good results depends on a variety of factors and the quality of planning and conducting the process of training. The purpose of the research was to determine whether there is a correlation between selected
