Summary form only given. This paper presents a transmission expansion planning (TEP) model which coordinates investment decisions in monopolistic transmission and decentralized generator sectors. The proposed planning approach gauges transmission congestion and security constraints with respect to transmission investments while promoting investments on independent power produces (IPPs) through incentive payments. The paper includes discussions on incentive mechanisms and prioritization among qualified IPPs for several planning scenarios. Such incentives might be necessary to trigger investments on IPPs earlier than those projected by the decentralized generation system, when the power system security is threatened. The proposed planning approach would optimize the sum of transmission investments, incentive payments to IPPs, and congestion costs along the planning horizon. The case studies illustrate how the proposed planning algorithm could be utilized in order to determine incentive payments to candidate generators when necessary, and prioritize such incentives among multiple IPP candidates.

Summary form only given. Photonic devices that can guide, transfer or modulate light are highly desired in electronics and integrated silicon photonics. Through the nonlinear processes taking place during ultrafast laser-material interaction, laser light can impart permanent refractive index change in the bulk of materials, and thus enables the fabrication of different optical elements inside the material. However, due to strong multi-photon absorption of Si resulting delocalization of the light by free car...
An experimental approach to period doubling bifurcations in plasmas
Uzun Kaymak, İlker Ümit (2017-01-01)
Summary form only given. A direct current (dc) driven semiconductor-gas discharge system is designed to study nonlinear behavior and period doubling features experimentally. Numerical analysis and theoretical studies show that the period doubling is expected in the discharge 1 . The plasma is generated between two planar electrodes separated by a narrow gap: cathode is undoped Gallium Arsenide (GaAs) and anode is an IndiumTin Oxide (ITO) coated glass electrode. The GaAs is extensively studied in solid-state...
Extension to a hybrid UTD-MoM approach for the efficient analysis of radiation/scattering from tapered array distributions
Aydın Çivi, Hatice Özlem; Chou, HT; Nepa, P (2000-07-21)
Summary form only given. A hybrid method, which combines the UTD ray technique with the numerical MoM approach has been developed to provide a relatively efficient analysis of EM radiation/scattering from an electrically large, planar, periodic, finite array. In this paper, an extension of the hybrid UTD-MoM approach of Aydin Civi, Pathak and Chou (see URSI EMT meeting, Thessaloniki, Greece, May 1998) is presented to deal with tapered array distributions, as well as periodic arrays that may support more tha...
Pseudoscalar-meson decuplet-baryon coupling constants in light cone QCD
Alıyev, Tahmasıb; Özpineci, Altuğ; Savcı, Mustafa (American Physical Society (APS), 2009-11-01)
Taking into account the SU(3)(f) breaking effects, the strong coupling constants of the pi, K, and eta mesons with decuplet baryons are calculated within the light cone QCD sum rules method. It is shown that all coupling constants, even in the case of SU(3)(f) breaking, are described in terms of only one universal function. It is shown that for Xi(*0)->Xi(*0)eta, transition violation of SU(3)(f) symmetry is very large and for other channels when SU(3)(f) symmetry is violated, its maximum value constitutes 1...
(In)Distinctive Role of Long Non-Coding RNAs in Common and Rare Ovarian Cancers

Simple Summary:& nbsp;Ovarian cancers (OCs) are the most lethal form of gynecological tumors. The commonest are high-grade serous OCs, while rare OCs originate from many different cell types, such as epithelial, germ cell, sex cord-stromal, or mixed types. Rare OCs have distinct molecular characteristics, prognosis, and therapeutic approaches. However, all ovarian malignancies mostly share the same problem: late diagnosis due to the lack of specific symptoms. Therefore, there is a perpetual need to discover...
