An easy case of sorting by reversals
(Mary Ann Liebert, 1998)We show that a special case of sorting by reversals can be performed in polynomial time, namely, when the number of breakpoints is twice the distance. -
ECCO: a novel end-to-end congestion control scheme in multi-hop cognitive radio ad hoc networks
(IEEE, 2018-12-24)End-to-end congestion control, aiming to find out how much traffic load offered by the source can be handled by a network, is an essential function of a transport layer protocol. Although various efforts have been made to ... -
Economic analysis of electric energy storage
(2006-05)This thesis presents a cost analysis of grid-connected electric energy storage. Various battery energy storage technologies are considered in the analysis. Life-cycle cost analysis is used. The results are presented in ... -
Economic analysis of lithium-ion battery energy storage systems
(Wichita State University, 2018-12)Shifts in consumer behaviors in the power sector coupled with social and environmental policies have created a higher demand for reliable power and a desire to generate that power from less reliable sources. To bridge the ... -
Economic applications for energy storage
(Wichita State University, 2014-07)There are several specific applications that offer potential ways in which energy storage may be able to produce revenue and/or provide savings for system operators. The most obvious is simple energy arbitrage where low-cost ... -
Economics of quality improvement in manufacturing processes based on attributes
(2008)Traditional models of the cost of quality combine prevention and appraisal expenses and consider their coupled effect on failure costs. This approach conceals the real economic value of continuous process improvement and ... -
