Abstract:
Microgrid (MG) economical/environmental dispatch (MGEED) problem is a complex multiobjective optimization topic. Since the generators are diversified and the operation mode changes frequently, the MGEEED problem always has different types of constraints, such as the load balance constraints and the ramp rates constraints, which make it a nonlinear, nonconvex optimization problem. In this paper, the mathematical model of a typical MG system applied in northwest China is established. Then, a hybrid constraints handling strategy (HCHS) based on nondominated sorting genetic algorithm II (NSGAII) is proposed to deal with the typical constraints, by which the constraints violations can be removed in several steps during the evolutionary process. A dimensionality reduction method is introduced to simplify the optimization model. And an individual repair approach is designed for the violations of ramp rates constraints. In order to balance the weights of various types of constraints, the process of constraints handling in standard NSGAII is revised. Thereafter, HCHS-NSGAII is applied to some typical MGEED problems, considering all kinds of typical constraints. The results show that HCHS-NSGAII can obtain feasible Pareto sets with satisfactory convergence and distribution, which is efficient in handling complex practical industrial MGEED problems with the change of constraints combinations.

Abstract:
Dynamic economic emission dispatch (DEED) is an important optimization task for power plants. The problem is a highly constrained multi-objective optimization problem involving conflicting objectives with both equality and inequality constraints. This paper introduces two objective functions of DEED model: the lowest generation cost and the smallest carbon emissions with power balance constraints, unit output constraints and unit ramp rate limits. Then the paper presents a multi-objective hybrid evolutionary algorithm (MHEA) to solve the DEED model. The MHEA is a hybrid optimization algorithm based on orthogonal initialization, improved differential operation with migration strategy, parameter adaptive control, multi-objective selection strategy and analytic hierarchy process based fuzzy technique (AFT). Numerical results of one test system demonstrate the capabilities of the proposed approach. Compared with other classical methods, the proposed approach gets better result.

Abstract:
We describe Employees Provident Funds (EPF) Malaysia. We explain about Defined Contribution and Defined Benefit Pension Funds and examine their similarities and differences. We also briefly discuss and compare EPF schemes in four Commonwealth countries. A family of Stochastic Programming Models is developed for the Employees Provident Fund Malaysia. This is a family of ex-ante decision models whose main aim is to manage, that is, balance assets and liabilities. The decision models comprise Expected Value Linear Programming, Two Stage Stochastic Programming with recourse, Chance Constrained Programming and Integrated Chance Constraints Programming. For the last three decision models we use scenario generators which capture the uncertainties of asset returns, salary contributions and lump sum liabilities payments. These scenario generation models for Assets and liabilities were developed and calibrated using historical data. The resulting decisions are evaluated with in-sample analysis using typical risk adjusted performance measures. Out- of- sample testing is also carried out with a larger set of generated scenarios. The benefits of two stage stochastic programming over deterministic approaches on asset allocation as well as the amount of borrowing needed for each pre-specified growth dividend are demonstrated. The contributions of this thesis are i) an insightful overview of EPF ii) construction of scenarios for assets returns and liabilities with different values of growth dividend, that combine the Markov population model with the salary growth model and retirement payments iii) construction and analysis of generic ex-ante decision models taking into consideration uncertain asset returns and uncertain liabilities iv) testing and performance evaluation of these decisions in an ex-post setting.

Abstract:
This work develops two trajectory planning strategies for future connected automated vehicles (CAVs) to carry out automatic on-ramp merging and mainline facilitating (i.e. gap development) maneuvers. Both proposed strategies are based on constrained optimal control problems. The second strategy features the ability to mitigate the impact of a mainline gap development movement on the traffic following behind so as to enhance traffic safety. Analytical solutions are rigorously derived for the optimal control problems using the Pontryagin Maximum Principle without making any assumptions or ad hoc treatments in order to reduce the analytical difficulty. The obtained analytical solutions are implemented in a model predictive control framework to accommodate constantly changing external environments. Large scale simulations indicate that both the strategies, particularly the second strategy, are beneficial to traffic safety under mixed environments of CAV and human-driven vehicles.

Abstract:
The Constrained Economic Dispatch Problem was formulated and a detailed method of solving it using a Lagrange Multiplier approach was developed. The method developed is a non-linear, primal-dual technique that uses forward elimination and back substitution applied to the Hessian matrix and gradient vector of the Lagrangian in conjunction with: (1) Constraint Linearization; (2) Traumatic Events; (3) Relaxable Constraints; (4) Implicit Dual Variables; (5) Discrimination; (6) Tracking Starts; and (7) Most Violated Constraint Logic, to obtain a reliable solution in a time frame suitable for real-time economic dispatch. A fast method of calculating the true system incremental cost and the incremental costs of all binding constraints in the presence of a relaxed constraint was also developed. The optimization theory was converted to software on Entergy Corporation's Bulk Power Management System and extensive tests were conducted which verified the expected high performance of the methodology Constrained optimum dispatch solutions were obtained for network security constraints in the form of area import, line mva, line mw and line group mw constraints. Using special techniques under a traumatic event framework, power system regulating margin constraints and generating unit ramp rate constraints were formulated and added to the software developed for honoring network constraints. In addition, the network security, the regulating margin and the ramp rate constraints were combined in 1 and 2-stage constrained dynamic economic dispatch formulations of the problem. Solutions were routinely obtained for overconstrained and parallel constraint cases Using Entergy data, dynamic load tests showed that a static dispatch violates the generating unit ramp rate limits and therefore is not truly an optimum dispatch. Consequently, the unit output power dynamic trajectories are significantly different from the static trajectories. Performance benefits produced by a dynamic constrained dispatch accrue also from the calculation of the incremental costs of holding generating unit ramp rate limits and regulating margins and the implementation of a multi-step relaxable regulating margin constraint. Additional benefits accrue by decomposing the regulating margin into one component which is specified by the system operator and a second component which is estimated automatically A mathematical proof of convergence of the methodology and mathematical proofs of all optimization techniques developed are presented

Abstract:
This chapter explores the process of improvisation by emcees in freestyle, or improvised, rap. Drawing on interviews with and writings by freestyle practitioners as well as on recent scholarship in linguistic anthropology, social psychology, and sociology, it argues that freestyle is an everyday activity and a fundamentally social act. The chapter examines a recent study that uses functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to measure cognitive activity of improvising emcees, and it suggests that the study’s physical constraints on the emcees, its focus on emcees in isolation rather than on those improvising in a cipher (a group of people who take turns improvising rhymes), and its lack of attention to the effects of gender, race, ethnicity, and other identifications on freestyle performance limit the force of its conclusions.

Abstract:
AbstractIn recent years, the focus of microplastic research has begun to observe a shift from the marine towards terrestrial and freshwater environments. This is in response to a greater awareness of the predominance of land-based sources in marine microplastic contamination. In this regard, terrestrial and freshwater environments are often perceived as conduits for microplastic particles to the oceans, but this overlooks substantial and important complexities associated with these systems, as well as the need to protect these ecosystems in their own right. This chapter focuses on several critical sources and pathways deemed to be highly important for the release of microplastics to the environment. These include road-associated microplastic particles (RAMP) and emissions related to agriculture that are, thus far, under-researched. Transfers and accumulations of particles within terrestrial and freshwater systems are also reviewed, including the state of knowledge on the occurrence of microplastics in different environmental compartments (air, water, sediments, biota). Methodological constraints are addressed, with particular focus on the need for greater harmonisation along all stages of sampling, analysis, and data handling. Finally, the chapter discusses the ultimate fate of particles released to terrestrial and freshwater environments and highlights critical research gaps that should be addressed to evolve our understanding of microplastic contamination in complex and dynamic environmental systems.

Abstract:
This chapter presents various novel evolutionary algorithms, namely Real Coded Genetic Algorithm (RGA), two variants of Biogeography-Based Optimization (BBO), and three variants of Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) in order to find the optimal power generation scheduling to simultaneously optimize fuel cost and power loss for solving constrained economic load dispatch problems of all thermal systems, considering multiple fuel operation and valve point effect. The effectiveness of the proposed algorithms is demonstrated in five different ELD problems, considering different constraints such as transmission losses, ramp rate limits, multi-fuel options and valve point loading. Comparative studies are carried out to examine the effectiveness and superiority of the proposed approaches. A comparison of simulation results reveals optimization usefulness of the proposed BBO scheme over other well established population based optimization techniques. It is also found that the convergence characteristics of the BBO algorithm are better than other optimization methods.

Abstract:
Abstract An especially perplexing issues in international legal regulation of non-international armed conflict is the relationship between international humanitarian law (IHL) and international human rights law (IHRL). While most experts and states now recognize the complementary applicability of these two branches of law, translating this complementarity to operational practice remains difficult. This is exacerbated by characterization of military operations against transnational non-state organized armed groups transnationally. The challenge is most significant regarding authority to employ force. Neither body of law provides an ideal solution to this question in operations against non-state groups. On one hand, IHL provides expansive authority under status-based targeting, but in many situations this is too permissive. On the other hand, IHRL relies on more restrictive conduct-based targeting, but this can be ineffective in some cases in meeting a threat. This chapter asks whether operational practice has provided a practical response to this challenge. It suggests that the common practice of restricting IHL with rules of engagement that reflect IHRL principles indicates that outside the context of inter-state hostilities, IHRL provides the operational default use of force setting. This “setting” is subject to mission-specific expansion pursuant to international humanitarian law principles, but should be understood as more of a legal obligation than a purely policy-based constraint on conduct of hostilities authority.

Abstract:
Wildfires are a growing threat, especially in Mediterranean climate areas during periods of drought. Wildfire research community continues to investigate propagation mechanisms on a large scale considering the thermal and fluid mechanics effects, or the main fire emissions (CO, CO2, H2O, H2, CH4). However, research on the effect of abiotic stresses on the plant emission during wildfires remains lacking, despite the fact that Mediterranean are considered important BVOC emitting and storing species. This article addresses the effect of combined hydric and thermal stresses on the volatile’s emission behaviours of two important Mediterranean shrub species; Rosmarinus officinalis and Cistus albidus that are largely consumed in wildfires. Different levels of hydric stress were applied on plants of the two species in a greenhouse of the EBI laboratories of the University of Poitiers. Thermal stress was executed by placing the water stressed plants inside a hermetic enclosure equipped with a radiant panel of maximal radiant heat flux of 84kW.m-2 and a fire-resistant glazed window for visualisation. The gaseous emissions of the plants under thermal stresses were collected and analysed by two complementary devices: an instantaneous gas analyser for CO, CO2, H2 and CH4, and adsorbent tubes by using the techniques of adsorption and desorption (by pyrolysis) for emission collection and analyses, respectively. Simultaneous Py/GC-MS experiments were realised at IC2MP on a foliar scale of the water stressed plants in order to gain more control and precision in emission analyses. The heating tests showed a good reproducibility for pyrolyses of leaf samples and interesting variations between the monoterpene emissions of stressed and unstressed plants. At plant scale, number of tests for each plant species at a given hydric stress level were insufficient to give trends and strong results because of some imposed technical problems and the constraints of public health crisis. However, these tests allowed us to adapt experimental protocols and devices for further testing such as: plant location and fixation, heat flux ramp, sampling location, use of adsorbent tubes, hydric stress duration and normalisation of measured concentrations according to the plant size.

Abstract:
As an innovative grid computing technique for sharing the distributed memory resources in a high-speed wide-area network, RAM Grid exploits the distributed computing nodes, and provides remote memory for the user nodes which are short of memory. The performance of RAM Grid is constrained with the expensive network communication cost. In order to hide the latency of remote memory access and improve the performance, the authors proposed the push-based prefetching to enable the memory providers to push the potential useful pages to the user nodes. For each provider, it employs sequential pattern mining techniques, which adapts to the characteristics of memory page access sequences, on locating useful memory pages for prefetching. They have verified the effectiveness of the proposed method through trace-driven simulations.

Abstract:
<p>Footbridges facilitate pedestrian and cyclist travel which can promote a shift towards greener means of transportation and thus help reducing carbon emissions. Facing the challenges of climate change, further steps in the reduction of waste and carbon footprint must be taken, by addressing the structure and construction method itself.</p> <p>The Campus Bridge in Opladen, Germany, is a 100m long footbridge crossing a major multi-track rail corridor. The bridge, and its equally long access ramps, was developed following a selection of approaches recommended to reduce its impact on the environment. This includes easily recyclable weathering steel, clamped and bolted architectural fit-out elements, the intensive use of habitat-friendly gabion walls as an alternative to concrete retaining walls, and the preference of lansdscaped embankments to elevated access ramps. The bridge was built in a temporary condition in 2013, awaiting the urban developments on both ends to catch up, including the removal of a two-track rail corridor requiring a temporary extension of the bridge and a temporary access ramp. For the final set-up between 2018 and 2021 elements of the temporary ramp have been re-used for the final ramp and one bridge span has been re-adjusted to accommodate the new, shorter gradient. The paper will provide a case study discussing how the re-use of building components can be integrated in the design process to respond to varying constraints in order to reduce waste and save cost.</p>

Abstract:
Ramp metering is proved to be an effective strategy for reducing or avoiding freeway traffic congestion. As a result, huge amount of research has been conducted on synthesizing effective ramp metering controls. In the previous works, freeway is assumed to be a deterministic system which is in contrast with the intrinsic stochastic nature and behavior of freeways. Our work focuses on bridging this gap, and we propose a framework for freeway ramp metering in a probabilistic setting. Our algorithm finds onramp flows in a freeway network while treating exogenous vehicular arrivals as random variables with known distributions, allowing for the network arrivals to conform with their stochastic nature. We use sampling techniques in a model predictive control setup to formulate a tractable approximation of our stochastic optimization. Furthermore, we demonstrate how to relax the non-linear constraints of our optimization to create a linear program with an augmented set of constraints. We prove that the solution of our linear program formulation is the same as the solution of the original mixed-integer formulation. We showcase the results of our algorithm on an exemplar freeway network and introduce multiple interesting future research directions that are important and can be pursued solely in a stochastic framework.
