The external loads and properties of members are generallyassumed deterministic, meaning that the variation of loads are not random in timeor the member properties are of constant values over time.

using the AtbashCipher, which can be seen in Figure 3. The main point of the lab was to break the ice withprogramming MATLAB and help them start to climb the associated learning curve, as well asintroduce them to the idea of letters being represented as numbers for use in ciphers. Studentswere first required to research the existing standard for representing characters in MATLAB(which uses the ASCII standard) and how to convert letters into numbers. The students were thenshown the concept of performing arithmetic on these numbers and how to turn them back intolegible characters.

Moreover, thissystem can incorporate distributed energy storage and distributed renewable energy resources,including solar, wind, biomass, and tidal energy.

Therefore, it also Lower emissions of greenhouse gases.It is estimated that up to 280,000 nationwide jobs can be created directly from the deployment ofsmart grid technologies (see table 1).

Introduction Recently, many researchers around the globe have given a considerable amount of attention to anumber of methods that use non-traditional system models to solve complex problems. Among these methods,neural networks, fuzzy logic, and genetic algorithms are most prominent. All three methods simulate thedynamics of a system without relying on rigorous mathematical models. To those who are not familiar with thenew methods, such approaches may seem inadequate without mathematical rigor, but the techniques aresuperior to conventional methods in a variety of advanced problems: inverted pendulum control problem using 1 2neural networks , Sendai train control using fuzzy logic
