Evaluating the International Renewable Energy Agency through the lens of social constructivism
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2021)
It is widely accepted that renewable energy will contribute to building a more sustainable world, and a transition from a fossil fuel-dominated to a renewable-based energy system is inevitable. However, only 5% of the ...
Electric power bid determination and evaluation for price taker units under price uncertainty
(Econjournals, 2021)
Power companies aim to maximize their profit which is highly related to the bidding strategies used. In order to sell electricity at high prices and maximize their profit, power companies need suitable bidding models that ...
Who in the World Is Trying to Change Their Personality Traits? Volitional Personality Change Among College Students in Six Continents
(American Psychological Association, 2021)
Recent research conducted largely in the United States suggests that most people would like to change one or more of their personality traits. Yet almost no research has investigated the degree to which and in what ways ...
Differences Across Generations and Stability of Values in the Turbulence of Social Change in Turkey
(Springer International Publishing, 2021)
This chapter explores culture specific dynamics of intergenerational value transmission and its potential effects on youth self-sufficiency in the Turkish context. Due to rapid socioeconomic changes and massive internal ...
Block Elimination Distance
(Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH, 2021)
We introduce the parameter of block elimination distance as a measure of how close a graph is to some particular graph class. Formally, given a graph class G, the class B(G) contains all graphs whose blocks belong to G and ...

Simple but effective GRU variants
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2021)
Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) is a widely used deep learning architecture applied to sequence learning problems. However, it is recognized that RNNs suffer from exploding and vanishing gradient problems that prohibit the ...
A multi-objective optimization evaluation framework for integration of distributed energy resources
(Elsevier, 2021)
Renewable distributed generation and energy storage systems (ESSs) have been a gamechanger for a reliable and sustainable energy supply. However, this new type of generation should be optimally planned and operated to ...
Minimum Length Scheduling for Multi-Cell Full Duplex Wireless Powered Communication Networks
(Mdpi, 2021)
Wireless powered communication networks (WPCNs) will be a major enabler of massive machine type communications (MTCs), which is a major service domain for 5G and beyond systems. These MTC networks will be deployed by using ...
Distributed energy resource allocation using multi-objective grasshopper optimization algorithm
(Elsevier Science Sa, 2021)
The penetration of small-scale generators (DGs) and battery energy storage systems (BESSs) into the distribution grid is growing rapidly and reaching a high percentage of installed generation capacity. These units can play ...
