Heuristic Optimization Approaches for Capacitor Sizing and Placement: A Case Study in Kazakhstan
(Mdpi, 2022)
Two methods for estimating the near-optimal positions and sizes of capacitors in radial distribution networks are presented. The first model assumes fixed-size capacitors, while the second model assumes controllable ...
Blockchain Systems in Embedded Internet of Things: Systematic Literature Review, Challenges Analysis, and Future Direction Suggestions
(Mdpi, 2022)

Pharmaceutical firms are highly profitable due to high markups enabled by high drug prices. This is justified by the argument that high profits provide incentives for innovation and help fund high research and development ...
Spin-s spin-glass phases in the d=3 Ising model
(Amer Physical Soc, 2021)
All higher-spin (s >= 1/2) Ising spin glasses are studied by renormalization-group theory in spatial dimension d = 3, exactly on a d = 3 hierarchical model and, simultaneously, by the Migdal-Kadanoff approximation on the ...
