Algorithms for discrete energy minimization are of fundamental importance in computer vision. In this paper we focus on the recent technique proposed by Wainwright et al. [33]- tree-reweighted max-product message passing (TRW). It was inspired by the problem of maximizing a lower bound

ltaic (PV) electricity production from an intermittent Since 1978, compressed air energy storage (CAES) compressed air can then be released on demand to the CAES plant’s turbo-generator set to generate premium value electricity. The first CAES plant was built in broadened in the ittency of wind g

We show that the large N limit of certain conformal field theories in various dimensions include in their Hilbert space a sector describing supergravity on the product of AntideSitter spacetimes, spheres and other compact manifolds. This is shown by taking some branes in the full M/string theory

Abstract. This paper focuses on the optimization of the electric energy production by photovoltaic cells through the development of an intelligent sun-tracking system. The developed tracking system is innovative in relation to the usual sun tracking systems available in the market. In fact

The main aim of this study was to determine the impact of energy production on economic growth in Ghana. The Ordinary least squares method of estimation was used to determine the values of the respective parameter estimates. The study identified that Ghana is still a developing country that needs

This paper presents a mathematical framework to properly account for uncertainty in wind resource assessment and wind energy production estimation. A meteorological tower based wind measurement campaign is considered exclusively, in which measure-correlate-predict is used to estimate the long

, needs to be built to replace ageing power plants and meet the expected increase in energy demand. dependence on the meteorological conditions. The knowledge of the fundamental parameters of the wind is crucial in order to fore-cast the energy production of a wind park. Various studies in the literature

the connection between water and energy production and conduct a comparative analysis for estimating the energy return on water invested (EROWI) for several renewable and non-renewable energy technologies using various Life Cycle Analyses. Our results suggest that the most water-efficient, fossil

We study the mechanism of transverse energy (ET) production in Au+Au collisions at RHIC. The time evolution starting from the initial energy loss to the final ET production is closely examined in transport models. The relationship between the experimentally measured ET distribution and the maximum

◮ Energy is produced from a variety of sources which are distinguished by differing production costs, exhaustibility and emissions. ◮ Oil & Coal: cheap, exhaustible, dirty.
