Attempting to Engage in “Ethical” Research with Homeless Youth
Risk pervades contemporary discourses surrounding and describing homeless youth. Deemed to be at risk and vulnerable to a range of dangers related to living on the street as well as risky due to their delinquent behaviours...
Forecasting of Electricity Demand by Hybrid ANN-PSO Models
Developing economies need to invest in energy projects. Because the gestation period of the electric projects is high, it is of paramount importance to accurately forecast the energy requirements. In the present paper, the...
