Nowadays utilization of obsolete products (UOP) in manufacturing paper, has taken a great interest both in terms of business and research. This phenomenon has been due to environmental awareness is being structured in such companies, and also to advancement in supply chain management. For a correct collection of UOP, It must design a reverse supply chain that is able to properly administer or manage the collection of these products, with a low cost. In supply chain design will have in consideration all components required for paper collection, such as recovery center location, taking necessary information about three paper manufacturing plants and recycling centers located in the middle zone of Valle del Cauca.

The supply of growing electricity demand is possible through continuous technological advances and the expansion of national and international electrical systems. This scenario could introduce voltage drops and consequent changes in the reactive power flow throughout the electrical network. In order to control these problems, various strategies have been developed as a solution to improve the transport and distribution of electrical energy. One of them is the Flexible Alternating Current Transmission System (FACTS), and more specifically the STATic synchronous COMpensator (STATCOM). This paper investigates the influence and effectiveness of STATCOM to mitigate the losses in the transmission lines and its impacts on bus voltage drops. The simulations are performed using the software DIgSILENT PowerFactory and the results showed that STATCOM reduces the power system losses in an interval of 23.86% until 32.86%, and in addition, the STATCOM decreases the annual energy cost by 7.82% in the implemented test case.

Electromyography is a test widely used in the study of the electrical activity of muscles and nerves usually for medical purposes to measure the health of muscles and nerves in patients, however, the similarity of the signals generated in this study with those used in robotics in control systems, has opened the possibility of using them to bio-medical applications. This paper article presents a prototype for the control of a palletiser with one degree of freedom through EMG signals, the prototype was designed by digital electronics and allows the control of the palletiser in real time. The design is modular and consists of the following modules: acquisition and filtering; Processing and digital electronic decision system and, finally, the control-power interface that allows Human-machine interaction in a friendly way. The filtering and processing of EMG signals reduces the experimental noise by allowing a pattern to be established in the power signals. It achieves a robust control system that operates in real time by the effective value of power and in addition, the Human machine interface helps in the interpretation of control variables. Finally, the incorporation of reliable and efficient control systems based on EMG signals and digital electronics, allows exploring a viable alternative for the development of bio-medical and robotics prototypes such as the control of robotic arms in real time.

These instructions give you guidelines for preparing papers for IEEE Transactions and Journals. Use this document as a template if you are using Microsoft Word 6.0 or later. Otherwise, use this document as an instruction set. Paper titles should be written in uppercase and lowercase letters, not all uppercase. Avoid writing long formulas with subscripts in the title; short formulas that identify the elements are fine (e.g., "Nd-Fe-B"). Do not write "(Invited)" in the title. Full names of authors are preferred in the author field, but are not required. Put a space between authors' initials. The abstract must be a concise yet comprehensive reflection of what is in your article. In particular, the abstract must be self-contained, without abbreviations, footnotes, or references. It should be a microcosm of the full article. The abstract must be between 150-250 words. Be sure that you adhere to these limits; otherwise, you will need to edit your abstract accordingly. The abstract must be written as one paragraph, and should not contain displayed mathematical equations or tabular material. The abstract should include three or four different keywords or phrases, as this will help readers to find it. It is important to avoid over-repetition of such phrases as this can result in a page being rejected by search engines. Ensure that your abstract reads well and is grammatically correct.

This document presents in detail the mathematical formulation of the second renewable energy auction in Colombia, used for the allocation of long-term energy contracts, which was carried out through a double-sided auction, defined in Resolutions 4-0590 and 4-0591 of 2019 from the UPME. The mixed integer linear programming model developed in this paper solves an optimization problem that seeks the combination of offers that maximizes the benefit of the consumer, subject to operational and economic constraints proposed by regulatory mechanisms. The effectiveness of the algorithm developed in Python was tested by validating it with real data, obtaining the same results published by UPME. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper we propose to use the principle of available data derived from the NIPALS (Nonlinear estimation by Iterative Partial Least Square) algorithm to work on the Principal Components Analysis (PCA) in the presence of missing data. This proposal is important since it does not perform data imputation, nor are individuals discarded from the database; the proposed method works with the available pairs to form the quasicorrelation matrices in 𝑹𝒑 and in 𝑹𝒏; the spectral decomposition of these matrices allows through the transition relations to realize a conventional PCA. From the simulation study carried out, it was found that as the percentage of missing data increases, the inertia explained in the first factorial plane decreases. The solution algorithm was developed under the R programming environment and the code is appended for free use. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The problems related to the configuration of supply chains include quantitative and qualitative variables. Among the quantitative attributes, the most common is the money, and many attributes such as machine utilization, labor power and quality can be translated into monetary terms. Some examples of qualitative variables are people's mood, customer satisfaction, reputation in the community, appearance, aesthetics, etc. Multiple-attribute decision models integrate quantitative and qualitative attributes to produce an aggregate performance measure. This paper proposes a multi-criteria decision model using the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) for the configuration of supply chains by integrating elements of financial flexibility through the analysis of real options. The model developed considers elements of financial risk based on the consideration of variables such as demand, exchange rates and interest rates, and allows assessing the operational flexibility of the project in the face of changes in said risk elements.
