Power system frequency estimation based on simulated annealing: A variable frequency model
(
Sharif University of Technology
, 2004 , Article)
This paper presents a new technique for measuring power system frequency, rate of change of frequency and the voltage amplitude and phase angle using the Simulated Annealing (SA) based optimization algorithm. The algorithm ...
Two digital filtering algorithms for fast estimation of symmetrical components in a power system: A static estimation approach
(
Elsevier
, 2003 , Article)
This paper presents the application of two digital filters working together for fast estimation of power systems symmetrical components. The three-phase unbalanced system is transformed to two phases using α–β-transformation. ...
Total and high molecular weight adiponectin in patients with coronary artery disease
(
Wolters Kluwer Health
, 2009 , Article)
BACKGROUND: Serum adiponectin inversely correlates with the extent of coronary artery disease (CAD). OBJECTIVES: To investigate the clinical significance of measuring high molecular weight (HMW) adiponectin in addition to ...
Hypoadiponectinemia in obese and diabetic subjects in the State of Qatar
(
Karger
, 2008 , Article)
Background: Obesity is commonly associated with insulin resistance (IR), and is a common cause of type 2 diabetes. Adiponectin is an adipose tissue protein that enhances insulin sensitivity and has anti-atherogenic properties. ...
The effects of ion bombardment of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene
(
Elsevier
, 2006 , Article)
Ion bombardment is a suitable tool to improve tribological properties of polymers. In this study UHMWPE samples were bombarded with 130keV He ions to the fluences ranging from 1×1014 to 2×1016cm−2. RBS and NRA techniques ...
Surface layer modification of ion bombarded HDPE
(
Elsevier
, 2004 , Article)
Press-moulded, high density polyethylene (HDPE) samples were subjected to ion bombardment and effects of the modification studied. He+ ions of energy 100 keV or Ar+ ions of energy 130 keV were applied in the range of dose ...
Temperature and electric field effects on the dielectric dispersion of modified polyvinyl chloride
(
Elsevier
, 2003 , Article)
The effect of electric field on the dielectric dispersion of modified polyvinyl chloride (PVC) has been investigated. The applied direct current (DC) field strength was ranging from 0 to 104 V cm−1. The complex permitivity ...
Modeling and optimization of biogas production from a waste digester using artificial neural network and genetic algorithm
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2009 , Article)
Artificial neural networks (ANNs) and genetic algorithms (GA) are considered among the latest tools that are used to solve complicated problems that cannot be solved by conventional solutions. The present study utilizes ...
A Property Based Approach for Simultaneous Process and Molecular Design
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2009 , Article)
In this work, property clustering techniques and group contribution methods are combined to enable simultaneous consideration of process performance requirements and molecular property constraints. Using this methodology, ...
Digitally-tuned resolver converter
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2009 , Article)
Sinusoidal encoders provide electrical signals related to the sine and cosine of the mechanical shaft angle θ. An analog converter is described for the linearization of these signals and hence for linear computation of θ. ...
