The eagle and the panda : an owl's view from Southeast Asia by Desker, Barry

“…The United States' rebalancing to Asia, initially depicted as a "pivot" to the Pacific, is less a swing away from the Middle East and West Asia than a shift of U.S. focus to East Asia, following the winding down of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. As noted by Singapore's ambassador-at-large Chan Heng Chee, "the U.S. is unlikely to turn its back to problems in the Middle East or on West Asia. …”

Multiobjective joint economic dispatching of a microgrid with multiple distributed generation by Hou, Hui, Xue, Mengya, Xu, Yan, Tang, Jinrui, Zhu, Guorong, Liu, Peng, Xu, Tao

“…Firstly, the load level takes electric vehicles (EVs) as a means of controlling load to regulate the MG’s load fluctuation using its energy storage characteristics under time-of-use (TOU) price. Then, in order to minimize the remaining net load of the MG and the COC of the ES unit through Multiobjective Particle Swarm Optimization (MPSO), the source-load level adopts clean energy and ES units to absorb the optimized load from the load level. …”
