This report is published for the purpose of giving to the engineering profession and others interested in river-control projects the important and useful facts about the planning and construction of the Pickwick Landing Dam and Reservoir, located on the Tennessee River in western Tennessee near the Mississippi-Alabama line and constructed by the Tennessee Valley Authority, an agency of the United States Government.
This report is published for the purpose of giving to the engineering profession and others interested in river-control projects the important and useful facts about the planning and construction of the Wheeler Dam and Reservoir in northern Alabama, and constructed by the Tennessee Valley Authority, an agency of the United States Government.
Two major tributaries, the French Broad and the Holston, unite just above Knoxville to form the main Tennessee River. Projects constructed by TVA on these two tributaries made an important contribution to the war effort of the United States during World War II by making blocks of badly needed power available at crucial stages of the conflict. The Douglas project, whose name was derived from Douglas Bluff, located on the French Broad about 32 miles above its confluence with the Holston, controls a drainage area of 4,541 square miles.
The set LNCS 2723 and LNCS 2724 constitutes the refereed proceedings of the Genetic and Evolutionaty Computation Conference, GECCO 2003, held in Chicago, IL, USA in July 2003. The 193 revised full papers and 93 poster papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from a total of 417 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on a-life adaptive behavior, agents, and ant colony optimization; artificial immune systems; coevolution; DNA, molecular, and quantum computing; evolvable hardware; evolutionary robotics; evolution strategies and evolutionary programming; evolutionary sheduling routing; genetic algorithms; genetic programming; learning classifier systems; real-world applications; and search based softare engineering.
The aim of this volume is to show how Fuzzy Sets and Systems can help to provide robust and adaptive heuristic optimization algorithms in a variety of situations. The book presents the state of the art and gives a broad overview on the real practical applications that Fuzzy Sets, based on heuristic algorithms, have.
This is the second of two volumes comprising Technical Report No. 5, the Hiwassee Valley Projects. Volume 1 covers the Hiwassee project, which was completed in December 1940; Volume 2 covers the Apalachia, Ocoee No. 3, Nottely, and Chatuge projects constructed on an emergency basis during World War II and frequently referred to collectively as The Hiwassee Projects. The report comprises a record of the more important facts concerning the planning, design, construction, costs, and initial operations of these projects by the TVA.
