“Los accidentes que la experiencia enseña”: dinámica fronteriza en el piedemonte llanero, Nuevo Reino de Granada, 1556-1685 by Yirla Marisol Acosta Franco

“…The foundation of cities, the creation of governorships, their constant shifts and jurisdictional disputes, the exploitation of indigenous labor, security, and the imperial expansion were highly complex issues that today allow analyzing the territorialization of the Spanish Empire on a local scale in which multiple negotiations took place between the central power of the Audiencia at the Reign’s capital and the rulers and settlers in the frontier. …”

Power allocation strategies for distributed precoded multicell based systems by Silva Adão, Holakouei Reza, Gameiro Atílio

“…The precoder is designed in two phases: first the intercell interference is removed by applying a set of distributed precoding vectors; then the system is further optimized through power allocation. Three centralized power allocation algorithms with per-BS power constraint and different complexity trade-offs are proposed: one optimal in terms of minimization of the instantaneous average bit error rate (BER), and two suboptimal. …”

Development and optimization of an integrated energy network with centralized and decentralized energy systems using mathematical modelling approach by Liu, Wen Hui, Ho, Wai Shin, Lee, Ming Yang, Hashim, Haslenda, Lim, Jeng Shiun, Klemes, Jiri J., Mah, Angel Xin Yee

“…Decentralized energy generation (DEG) system which characterizes local power generation and utilization are recently getting more attention in energy system planning and implementation because it produces cleaner energy from renewable resources and is capable to avoid significant energy losses during the power transfer from the centralized power plants. These DEGs are however scattered in locations and have intermittent power supply, making it difficult to self-sustain. …”
