Power system frequency estimation based on simulated annealing. Part I: A constant frequency study
(
King Fahd University of Petroleum and Minerals
, 2003 , Article)
In this paper a new algorithm based on Simulated Annealing (SA) method is used to estimate the signal parameters of a system steady power system, having a constant frequency during data window size. The proposed algorithm ...

TESTING SYMMETRY USING A TRIMMED LONGEST RUN STATISTIC
(
Blackwell Publishing Asia Pty Ltd.
, 2007 , Article)
A distribution-free test is proposed for the symmetry of a continuous distribution about a specified median. The test is based on a longest run statistic on the upper portion of the sequence of ordered �centred� observations ...
A novel algorithm for molecular synthesis using enhanced property operators
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2008 , Article)
Traditionally process design and molecular design have been treated as two separate problems, with little or no feedback between the two approaches. Introduction of the property integration framework has allowed for ...
