We present TAPLI, an adaptive web-based learning environment for Linear programming. TAPLI is a set of adaptive tools offered in a web-based learning environment: a) an adaptive hypermedia component, that is responsible of presenting the learning contents;b) a testing component, based on Item Response Theory and c) a drill-and-practice component, which adaptively generates exercises and coaches the student while solving them.

Net Zero Carbon 2050 requires a shift to renewable energy (RE) such as the photovoltaic system. However, the uncertainty of RE will cause electrical system interruptions, excess energy output, and a lack of electricity supply. Energy storage systems (ESSs) can be used to solve supply problems, but they should consider the reliability component of the power system. It is important to assess the impact of RE incorporated ESS for reliability studies. Optimal allocation of RE incorporating ESS needs to be tackled to ensure the grid failures and their impacts. This research shows the optimal allocation of RE with ESSs for power system reliability. The Force Outage Rate (FOR) for the energy storage system, photovoltaic system, and weather conditions was obtained from the development of each Markov model. Then, each FOR is combined to get the new FOR. The value of LOLE must be below 0.1 per year or 2.4 hours per year and the value of EUE should close to zero. Accordingly, this paper shows that the optimal allocation of PV incorporating ESS that minimizes the LOLE and EUE while satisfying the installation target and constraints on reliability indices.

Macros are often regarded as a sort of black magic: highly useful yet abstruse. The present paper aims to make macro programming more like a craft. Using R5RS Scheme macros as an example, we develop and present a general practical methodology of building complex macros systematically, by combining simpler components by functional composition or higher-order operators. Macro programming is complex because the systematic approach does not apply to many macros. We show that macros and other head-first normal-order re-writing systems generally lack functional composition. However, macros written in a continuation-passing style (CPS) always compose. Making CPS macros practical still requires an encoding for macro-continuations. We have found this missing piece, with an insight for anonymous macro-level abstractions. In the specific case of R5RS macros, this paper presents a stronger result: developing R5RS macros by a translation from the corresponding Scheme procedures. We demonstrate the practical use of the technique by elaborating a real-world example.

The development of a low-cost active tip bending system for a scanning fiber endoscope or catheterscope has been initiated and proof-of-concept fabrication and testing have been conducted. The actuator material chosen for the design is an ionic conductive polymer metal composites (IPMC) type electro-active polymer (EAP). IPMC materials are inexpensive, especially in small sizes required for ultrathin scopes, allowing the possibility of an active-bending mechanism for the single-use endoscope. The charge and the strain distribution across the 200 mu m thick membrane are simulated using finite element analysis (FEA). The deformation results from the numerical analysis agree within 8.5% error of the experimental outcome. An IPMC strip actuator made from a Nafion (c) membrane and a platinum-plating recipe is developed. The generative force of the actuator is measured and demonstrated to be sufficient to lift the rigid tip of the scanning fiber endoscope. Therefore, this IPMC material is a candidate to be used as a low-cost active bending mechanism for the ultrathin scanning fiber endoscopes and future catheterscopes. (c) 2006 Elsevier B.V.

Concepts - sets of abstractions related by common requirements have a central role in generic programming. This paper proposes a general framework for using concepts to control polymorphism in different ways. First, concepts can be used to constrain parametric polymorphism, as exemplified by type classes in Haskell. Second, concepts can be used to provide fine-grained control of function and operator overloading. Finally, generic functions can be overloaded (specialized) based on concepts, rather than simply on types. We describe a C++ implementation of a new mechanism, which we call enable-if, and its role in concept-controlled polymorphism.

Families of independent classes, where each class represents a separate, orthogonal concern are highly attractive for implementing collaboration-based design. However, required subtype relationship between such families cannot be expressed in many programming languages. This paper presents a framework to handle collaborating groups of classes using template metaprogramming based on standard C++ features in the style of Loki: :Typelist. Our solution provides tailor-made implicit conversion rules between appropriate groups, inclusion polymorphism and a tool for dynamic binding.

In order to extract the fault feature validity in early fault diagnosis, method based on kernel principal component analysis and genetic programming (GP) is presented. The time domain features of the vibration signal are extracted and the initial symptom parameters (SP) are constructed. Then the combination to the initial SPs is carried on to optimize and build composite characteristics by GP. Through kernel principal component analysis (KPCA), the nonlinear principal component of the original characteristics is produced. Finally, the nonlinear principal components are selected as the feature subspace to classify the conditions of rolling bearing. Meanwhile, the within-class and among-class distance is introduced to compare and analyze the bearing condition recognition effect by using KPCA and GP plus KPCA separately. Experimental results show that the features extracted by kernel principal component analysis and genetic programming perform better ability in identifying the working states of the rolling bearing.
