Determining harmonic contribution quantitatively at the point of common coupling is an important task for power quality management. Outliers and influential points could have strong influences on regressors. This paper puts forward a method named reweighted complex least squares to eliminate or reduce the influences to ensure the robustness of the regression. The method can improve precision of the equivalent harmonic impedance and it can get a more reasonable result in harmonic contribution determination than previous methods. A case study based on the IEEE 14-bus test system was conducted, which shows the validity of the proposed method.

The Impact

Introduction. Development of countries, regions and individual ecosystems occurs in the paradigm of innovative and technological change, the crucial element being the production knowledge and competencies. Their ranging in terms of transforming the complexity of the products that the country exports has been embodied and developed in the approach of economic complexity. However, insufficient attention is paid to the study of economic complexity in the context of transboundary processes that impact the development of territories. The objective of this study is to measure the impact of the intensity of transboundary relations on the change in economic complexity through the case study of European countries using the indicators of transboundary specialization of foreign trade turnover. Materials and Methods. The study employed the methods of econometric analysis. Information from the UN Comtrade database, as well as from the special resources for analyzing the economic complexity of countries, the Atlas of Economic Complexity and the Observatory of Economic Complexity, was used as the source data for calculations and measurements. Results. European countries have been classified into 3 subpanels based on Gaussian mixture distributions. The intensity of the impact of the transboundary activities on the complexity of the economy has been identified employing the panel cointegration method based on the constructed models (the combined model and models with fixed and random effects), which were supplemented by data analysis using the fully modified least squares method and the dynamic least squares method. Long-term interdependence between economic complexity and the intensity of transboundary activities has been identified. Discussion and Conclusion. It has been established that the influence of the transboundary interaction factor weakens as the economic complexity increases and under certain conditions it has a negative impact. The revealed dependence is due to the increasing role of global processes rather than the transboundary ones as the economy becomes more complex and more oriented towards the global market. The research findings contribute to further development of the Theory of Economic Complexity; they significantly expand the practical scope of its application, play an important role in understanding and further research on the opportunities and limitations for the development of territories differing in the transboundary cooperation intensity.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui tingkat kelayakan dan prospek pengembangan budidaya ikan nila di kolam air tenang di Kecamatan Sinjai Borong Kabupaten Sinjai. Populasi dalam penelitian ini adalah pembudidaya ikan nila di kolam air tenang  yang ada di Kecamatan Sinjai Borong Kabupaten Sinjai yaitu sebanyak 163 orang pembudidaya, sampelnya sebanyak 30 orang responden ditentukan dengan menggunakan metode purposive sampling berdasarkan pengetahuan dan pengalaman dalam pengelolaan usaha pembesaran ikan nila di kolam air tenang. Data yang yang diperoleh dianalisis dari aspek teknis, aspek finansial, dianalisis dengan analisis  SWOT dan analisis trend produksi menggunakan metode kuadrat terkecil. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa dari aspek teknis layak untuk dikembangkan, aspek finansial tidak layak untuk kelayakan investasi dan Analisis SWOT menunjukkan pada posisi dapat dipertahankan untuk dikembangkan dengan memanfaatkan peluang yang ada dengan meminimalkan ancaman dan kelemahan. Hasil analisis trend menunjukkan bahwa produksi ikan nila memiliki kecenderungan terus meningkat meskipun tidak signifikan.   This research is a case study that aims to determine the level of feasibility and prospects for the development of tilapia aquaculture in calm water ponds in Sinjai Borong Sub-District, Sinjai Regency. The population in this study were tilapia fish farmers in calm water ponds in Sinjai Borong District, Sinjai Regency, as many as 163 farmers, the sampel of 30 respondent was determined using a purposive sampling method based on knowledge and experience in managing of tilapia enlargement business in calm water ponds. The study was conducted in June to July 2019. The data obtained were analyzed from technical aspects, analyzed by SWOT analysis and production trend analysis using the least squares method. The results showed that from the technical aspects feasible to be developed, the financial aspects were not feasible for investment feasibility and the SWOT analysis showed that position could be maintained to be developed by utilizing existing opportunities by minimizing threats and weaknesses. The results of ternd analysis show the tilapia  production has a tendency to increase even though it is not significant.

First Case

This article introduces two approximations that allow the evaluation of Fresnel integrals without the need for using numerical algorithms. These equations accomplish the characteristic of being continuous in the same interval as Fresnel. Both expressions have been determined applying the least squares method to suitable expressions. Accuracy of equations improves as x increases; as for small values of x, it is possible to achieve an absolute error less than 8×10-5. To probe the efficiency of the equations, two case studies are presented, both applied in the optics field. The first case is related to the semi-infinite opaque screen for Fresnel diffraction. In this case study Fresnel integrals are evaluated with the proposed equations to calculate the irradiance distribution and the Cornu spiral for diffraction computations of the Fresnel diffraction; obtained results show a good accuracy. The second case is related to the double aperture problem for Fresnel diffraction.

The presented work examines application of an Augmented Iteratively Re-weighted and Refined Least Squares method (AIRRLS) to construct a 3D magnetic susceptibility property from potential field magnetic anomalies. This algorithm replaces an lp minimization problem by a sequence of weighted linear systems in which the retrieved magnetic susceptibility model is successively converged to an optimum solution, while the regularization parameter is the stopping iteration numbers. To avoid the natural tendency of causative magnetic sources to concentrate at shallow depth, a prior depth weighting function is incorporated in the original formulation of the objective function. The speed of lp minimization problem is increased by inserting a pre-conditioner conjugate gradient method (PCCG) to solve the central system of equation in cases of large scale magnetic field data. It is assumed that there is no remanent magnetization since this study focuses on inversion of a geological structure with low magnetic susceptibility property. The method is applied on a multi-source noise-corrupted synthetic magnetic field data to demonstrate its suitability for 3D inversion, and then is applied to a real data pertaining to a geologically plausible porphyry copper unit.  The real case study located in  Semnan province of  Iran  consists  of  an arc-shaped  porphyry  andesite  covered  by  sedimentary  units  which  may  have  potential  of  mineral  occurrences, especially  porphyry copper. It is demonstrated that such structure extends down at depth, and consequently exploratory drilling is highly recommended for acquiring more pieces of information about its potential for ore-bearing mineralization.
