Comparative Removal of Cr(VI) and F− Ions from Water by Freezing Technology by Fekadu Melak, Tsegaye Girma Asere

“…Both ions exhibit an anionic nature in water that can show similar removal tendencies except for their significant differences in ionic radius, speciation forms, and kosmotropic-chaotropic behaviors. Accordingly, partial freezing was performed to examine the comparative freeze separation efficiencies of Cr(VI) and F– from aqueous solutions. …”

Contingency-Constrained Optimal Power Flow Using Simplex-Based Chaotic-PSO Algorithm by Zwe-Lee Gaing, Chia-Hung Lin

“…This paper proposes solving contingency-constrained optimal power flow (CC-OPF) by a simplex-based chaotic particle swarm optimization (SCPSO). The associated objective of CC-OPF with the considered valve-point loading effects of generators is to minimize the total generation cost, to reduce transmission loss, and to improve the bus-voltage profile under normal or postcontingent states. …”
