In the deregulated electricity markets run by Independent System Operator (ISO), a two-settlement (day-ahead and real-time) process is typically used to determine the electricity price to the end-use customers at different buses. In the day-ahead settlement, the demand is predicted at each bus based on the previous consumption behavior of the consumers and thus, Locational Marginal Price (LMP) can be determined and shared to the consumers. A significant gap is usually observed between the planned and real-time demands due to the uncertainties of the weather (temperature, wind-speed etc.), the intensity of business, and everyday activities. Therefore, a large price variation may occur in the real-time market and the dispatching plan needs to be adjusted to respond to the variation. To reduce the gap between the day-ahead and real-time dispatching plans, a modified framework, i.e., a three-settlement process considering the integration of the manufacturing plants into the existing two-settlement process is proposed in this study. The manufacturing end-use customers report the flexibility of their loads to the ISO so that the ISO can update the day-ahead price through an updated dispatching plan that utilizes the feedback of the load flexibility from the manufacturers. A mathematical model is developed to identify the flexible and non-flexible loads of the manufacturers. Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) is used to solve this mathematical model and a case study is conducted to illustrate the effectiveness of the model.

Google Translate has been prominent for language translation; however, limited work has been done in evaluating the quality of translation when compared to expert translators. Sanskrit, one of the oldest written languages in the world was added to the Google Translate engine in 2022. Sanskrit is known as the mother of North Indian languages such as Hindi, Punjabi, and Bengali. Sanskrit has been used for composing sacred Hindu texts such as the Bhagavad Gita and the Upanishads. In this study, we present a framework that evaluates Google Translate for Sanskrit using the Bhagavad Gita. We first published a translation of the Bhagavad Gita in Sanskrit using Google Translate and then compared it with selected prominent translations by experts. Our framework features a BERT-based language model that implements sentiment and semantic analysis. The results indicate that there is a low level of similarity between the Bhagavad Gita by Google Translate and expert translators in terms of sentiment and semantic analyses. We found major inconsistencies in the translation of philosophical terms and metaphors. We further implemented a qualitative evaluation and found that Google Translate was unsuitable for the translation of certain Sanskrit words and phrases due to the poetic nature, contextual significance, metaphor and imagery. The mistranslations are not surprising since the Bhagavad Gita is known as a difficult text not only to translate but also to interpret since it relies on contextual, philosophical and historical information. It is difficult to distinguish different names and philosophical concepts such as karma and dharma without knowing the context and having a background of Hindu philosophy. Our framework lays the foundation for the automatic evaluation of other languages that can be translated by Google Translate.

The mangrove ecosystem is one of the unique and distinctive ecosystems because it is a compelling natural resource. However, in the current era, many people are greedy, resulting in the conversion of mangrove land, which causes a decrease in the area of the mangrove ecosystem. This study aims to determine changes in the extent of the mangrove ecosystem in Karimunjawa National Park and the appropriate rehabilitation efforts there. The method used in this research is a case study with descriptive analysis. Data collection techniques used literature studies from several related research sources whose research locations were in the Karimunjawa National Park. The collected data were then analyzed using the SWOT method. The main priority to be chosen as the primary strategic plan to repair damage and rehabilitate mangroves in Karimunjawa National Park is to establish synergistic cooperation between the implementation of government programs and the wishes of the local community through revitalizing coastal areas due to abrasion by replanting mangrove trees. This alternative strategy is a Strength-Threats (ST) strategy, where strength is maximized to overcome threats.

Innovation in the food sector is the most promising innovation, especially since the need for food will be directly proportional to population growth which continues to increase throughout the year. Among the many types of food, frozen food products have a much greater demand than other types of food. Frozen food products are claimed to be more practical for various activities. The development of nonanimal-based frozen food needs to be developed to be an option for vegetarians and groups of people who want to maintain health. This study was conducted to determine the optimal concentration of texturized soy protein as a substitute for meat in non-animal frozen food products while considering the delicious taste that everyone likes. Variations in the concentration of texturized soy protein used were 3%, 5%, and 7%, respectively, of the total amount of all ingredients. Based on the results of research conducted, it is known that a 5% concentration of texturized soy protein produces frozen food products with a similar taste, color, texture, and aroma as animal-based frozen food products in general.

In the present article, we have utilized two efficient techniques to obtain new optical solitons for the nonlinear Schrödinger’s equation. The advantages of the employed methods are that they are straightforward to use and able extraction of different types of solutions in single frameworks. The solutions presented in this paper evoke new applications and concepts for the considered special form of Schrödinger’s equation. Numerical simulations of some of the acquired solutions are also presented in the paper. After applying some necessary changes in these techniques, they can be implemented in solving other applied complex models arising in mathematics, physics, and applied mathematics.

Inverse Ising inference allows pairwise interactions of complex binary systems to be reconstructed from empirical correlations. Typical estimators used for this inference, such as pseudo-likelihood maximization (PLM), are biased. Using the Sherrington-Kirkpatrick model as a benchmark, we show that these biases are large in critical regimes close to phase boundaries, and they may alter the qualitative interpretation of the inferred model. In particular, we show that the small-sample bias causes models inferred through PLM to appear closer to criticality than one would expect from the data. Data-driven methods to correct this bias are explored and applied to a functional magnetic resonance imaging data set from neuroscience. Our results indicate that additional care should be taken when attributing criticality to real-world data sets.
