We report the results of a globally coordinated photometric campaign to search for transits by the P ~ 30 day and P ~ 60 day outer planets of the three-planet system orbiting the nearby M dwarf Gl 876. These two planets experience strong mutual perturbations, which necessitate the use of a dynamical (four-body) model to compute transit ephemerides for the system. Our photometric data have been collected from published archival sources, as well as from our photometric campaigns that were targeted to specific transit predictions. Our analysis indicates that transits by planet c (P ~ 30 days) do not currently …

Development Of Power Flow With Distributed Generators And Reconfiguration For Restoration Of Unbalanced Distribution Systems, Sarika Khushalani Dec 2006

Development Of Power Flow With Distributed Generators And Reconfiguration For Restoration Of Unbalanced Distribution Systems, Sarika Khushalani

Theses and Dissertations

With the increasing interest in distribution automation, distribution power flow is important for applications like VAR planning, switching, state estimation and especially optimization. Typically, a distribution system originates at a substation and continues to a lower voltage for delivery to the customers. There are several tools for transmission system analysis. These tools include Newton Raphson, Gauss Seidel and fast decoupled techniques. These techniques however sometimes fail to converge when applied to distribution systems due to their higher resistance/reactance (R/X) ratio of the lines, making them ill conditioned. Distribution systems typically have a radial topological structure where the loads are not …

Multi-Agent Based Control And Reconfiguration For Restoration Of Distribution Systems With Distributed Generators, Jignesh M. Solanki Dec 2006

Multi-Agent Based Control And Reconfiguration For Restoration Of Distribution Systems With Distributed Generators, Jignesh M. Solanki

Theses and Dissertations

Restoration entails the development of a plan consisting of opening or closing of switches, which is called reconfiguration. This dissertation proposes the design of a fast and efficient service restoration with a load shedding method for land-based and ship systems, considering priority of customers and several other system operating constraints. Existing methods, based on centralized restoration schemes that require a powerful central computer, may lead to a single point of failure. This research uses a decentralized scheme based on agents. A group of agents created to realize a specific goal by their interactions is called a Multi-Agent System (MAS). Agents …

Clustering Multiple Contextually Related Heterogeneous Datasets, Mahmood Hossain Dec 2006

Clustering Multiple Contextually Related Heterogeneous Datasets, Mahmood Hossain

Theses and Dissertations

Traditional clustering is typically based on a single feature set. In some domains, several feature sets may be available to represent the same objects, but it may not be easy to compute a useful and effective integrated feature set. We hypothesize that clustering individual datasets and then combining them using a suitable ensemble algorithm will yield better quality clusters compared to the individual clustering or clustering based on an integrated feature set. We present two classes of algorithms to address the problem of combining the results of clustering obtained from multiple related datasets where the datasets represent identical or overlapping …

We report on p−Λ,p− ¯Λ¯ ,¯p¯−Λ, and ¯p¯− ¯Λ¯ correlation functions constructed in central Au-Au collisions at √sNN=200 GeV by the STAR experiment at RHIC. The proton and lambda source size is inferred from the p−Λ and p− ¯Λ¯; correlation functions. It is found to be smaller than the pion source size also measured by the STAR experiment at smaller transverse masses, in agreement with a scenario of a strong universal collective flow. The ¯p¯− Λ and p− ¯Λ¯ correlation functions, which are measured for the first time, exhibit a large anticorrelation. Annihilation channels and/or a negative real …
