This paper presents a new method to derive energy function based on vector product. Using this method, an energy function to consider transfer conductances and capacitors is derived. Then we recommend a voltage collapse criteria to predict the voltage collapse in power systems by using the energy margin derived by the proposed energy function. This energy function is applied to a 2-bus power system reflecting transfer conductances and capacitors. We show that the energy function derived based on vector product can be applied in order to analyze power system stability and the energy margin can be utilized as a criterion of voltage collapse by simulation for the 2-bus system.

This paper shows that a well-defined energy function can be developed to reflect the transfer conductances for multi-machine power systems under an assumption that all transmission lines have uniform R/X rations. The energy function is derived by introducing a pure reactive equivalent system for the given system. In this study, a static energy function reflecting transfer conductances is also derived as well as the transient energy function. The proposed static energy function is applied to voltage stability analysis and tested for various sample systems. The test results show that the accuracy of voltage stability analysis can be considerable improved by reflecting transfer conductances into the energy function.

An active contour model has been used to detect the edges in a still image. In order to apply the active contour model to edge detection, the energy function which consists of internal, external and image energies should be defined. After defining the energy function, the edge of an object is detected through minimization of the value of the energy function. In this paper, the modified internal energy function is proposed to improve the convergence of the energy function when the active contour model is applied to the tracking of deformable objects using the greedy algorithm. In order to show the performance of the proposed energy function, experiments were carried out for the still and animated images.

In this paper, we propose an automatic left ventricle segmentation method in computed tomography angiography (CTA) using separating energy function. First, we smooth the images by applying anisotropic diffusion filter to remove noise. Secondly, the volume of interest (VOI) is detected by using k-means clustering. Thirdly, we divide the left and right heart with split energy function. Finally, we extract only left ventricle from left and right heart with optimizing cost function including orientation term.

The binding energy in the n-type $GaAs/Al_xGa_{1-x}As$ quantum well is calculated. The shooting method, modified from the finite difference method, is used for the calculation of the subband energy level and its wave function. In order to account tot the change of the potential energy due to the charged particles, impurities and electrons, the self consistent method is employed. The wave function used for the calculation of the binding energy is assumed to be composed of the envelope function and hydrogenic 1s function. Then, the binding energies calculated by taking into account lot two different types of the hydrogenic 1s function are compared.

This paper deals with direct voltage stability analysis using a power system energy function. The structure preserved energy function is proposed as an energy function for voltage stability analysis. With the use of the proposed energy function voltage collapse conditions are derived, which yields the exactly same results with the Jacobian matrix approach. The voltage collapse phenomenon is analyzed by several methods, which shows that all of the methods produce the same voltage condition. This study also investigates the voltage collapse dynamics by using the proposed energy function. As a result, it has been found that the voltage collapse can be classified into two categories: static and dynamic instablilties which have quite different behaviors. In addition a new method is presented to calculate the power capacity limit of transmission lines with respect to voltage stability. The proposed method is tested for a 2-bus sample system, which shows the characteristics of voltage collapse phenomenon via the energy function.

The purpose of the paper is to estimate the functions of the energy input efficiency and the energy intensity efficiency, and measure their energy efficiencies for the reduction of greenhouse gases focusing on OECD countries. The efficiency of the traditional energy intensity was rarely connected with the energy efficiencies of the stochastic frontier function. It seems that the energy efficiency by the function of energy input efficiency sensitively responds to the order of GDP, capital stock, labor, and energy input quantity as explanatory variables. In the future, we need to reduce energy quantities by the optimal mix of inputs, and pursuit low-carbon economic growth through the production of the goods consuming small energy.

Electron temperature, electron density and electron energy distribution function were measured in Radio-Frequency Inductively Coupled Plasma(RFICP) using a probe method. Measurements were conducted in argon discharge for pressure from 10 mTorr to 40 mTorr and input rF power from 100W to 600W and flow rate from 3 sccm to 12 sccm. Spatial distribution of electron temperature, electron density and electron energy distribution function were measured for discharge with same aspect ratio (R/L=2). Electron temperature was found to depend on pressure, but only weakly on power. Electron density and electron energy distribution function strongly depended on both pressure and power. Electron density and electron energy distribution function increased with increasing flow rate. Radial distribution of the electron density and electron energy distribution function were peaked in the plasma center. Normal distribution of the electron density, electron energy distribution function were peaked in the center between quartz plate and substrate. These results were compared to a simple model of ICP, finally, we found out the generation mechanism of Radio-Frequency Inductively Coupled Plasma.

On the basis of the semi-linear material of John invoking the theory of homogenization for heterogeneous media and the theory of invariants for isotropic scalar functions an energy function is built for a transversely-isotropic medium in finite elastic deformation. The ponyting Effect for material in simple shear is reviewed for this case of transversal isotropy. It is shown that this effect is apprehended by the constructed energy function.

We proposed a neural network energy function for the optimal graph partitioning and its optimization method using Boltzmann Machine. We composed a Boltzmann Machine with the proposed neural network energy function, and the simulation results show that we can obtain an optimal solution with the energy function parameters of A=50, B=5, c=14 and D=10, at the Boltzmann Machine parameters of To=80 and \ulcorner0.07 for a 6-node 3-partition problem. As a result, the proposed energy function and optimization parameters are proved to be feasible for the optimal graph partitioning.
