Doesglobalization mean uniformity or diversity? As the world begins to resemble more, the people are
Reliability constrained dynamic generation expansion planning using honey badger algorithm
Abstract Generation expansion planning (GEP) is a complex, highly constrained, non-linear, discrete and dynamic optimization task aimed at determining the optimum generation technology mix of the best expansion alternative for long-term planning horizon.This paper presents a new framework to study the GEP in a multi-stage horizon with reliability c
Advanced care planning in the early phase of COVID-19: a rapid review of the practice and policy lessons learned
BackgroundThe importance of advance care planning (ACP) has been highlighted by the advent of life-threatening COVID-19.Anecdotal evidence suggests changes in implementation of policies and procedures is needed to support uptake of ACPs.We investigated the barriers and enablers of ACP in the COVID-19 context and identify recommendations to facilita
An Integrated Method for River Water Level Recognition from Surveillance Images Using Convolution Neural Networks
Water conservancy personnel usually need to know the water level by water gauge images in real-time and with an expected accuracy.However, accurately recognizing the water level from water gauge images is still a complex problem.This article proposes a composite method applied in the Wuyuan City, Jiangxi Province, in cheese slicer China.This method
