After nearly three decades of experience with Demand Side Management (DSM), controversy remains over how effective these programs have been. This book considers micro-level analyses that explore both demand-side solutions and supply-side interventions. On the demand side, models are estimated to provide in-depth evidence of end-user consumption patterns for each North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) region. The empirical evidence demonstrates that there is substantial regional variability of reductions in peak demand. These results are quite robust in the in rapidly-urbanizing regions, where air conditioning and lighting load is substantial higher. On the supply side, the effectiveness of DSM programs is estimated by analyzing the growth of capacity margin with the introduction of DSM programs. The results indicate that DSM has been successful in offsetting the need for additional capacity by the means of demand response measures, but the success is limited to only a few regions. The rate of progress in future will depend on a wide range of improved technologies and a continuous government monitoring for successful adoption of DSM to manage growing energy demand.

With more and more biological sequences available, sequence analyses have become very important in bioinformatics and computational biology. In this book, we present the results of our research on genome sequence alignment, RNA folding with simple pseudoknots, and single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) association pattern discovery with spatial constraints. In genome sequence alignment, we use the divide and conquer approach to reduce the computational complexity of multiple whole genome sequence alignment. Furthermore, we introduced the concept of solution space of genome sequence alignment to solve the problem that the current genome sequence alignment algorithms do not consider spatial constraints. The solution space is modeled as a multi-bipartite digraph. We provide efficient graph decomposition and traversal algorithms for processing the graph to output solutions as alignments of functionally equivalent clusters.

To realize an effective MIMO system, it is necessary to have a sufficient number of uncorrelated antennas at each end of the link. Mutual coupling or isolation from the adjacent antenna is a key factor to achieving high antenna performance in the MIMO antenna configuration. For low mutual coupling, the antennas must be far away from each other, but the space for the internal antenna is not enough to obtain a low correlation and mutual coupling in the mobile handsets. Moreover, it is very challenging to place multiple antennas within small mobile handsets while maintaining good isolation between the antenna elements because antennas can be strongly coupled with each other and even with the ground plane by sharing the surface currents distributed on the ground plane. In this book, various mutual coupling reduction techniques are introduced, and their mechanisms are analyzed. Several key performance parameters and the requirements for evaluating the MIMO antenna are also classified and analyzed. To reduce the mutual coupling, orthogonally polarized dipole elements, a band stop matching circuit, a decoupling network, and polarization diversity are utilized for MIMO antenna design.
