A recent model of volume and solute microcirculatory exchange in the renal medulla based on a single descending vasa rectum (DVR) was extended to account for the varying number of vessels along the corticomedullary axis. The assumption that concentration polarization at the walls of ascending vasa recta (AVR) during volume uptake eliminates transmural oncotic pressure gradients was examined. In...

This work reports the development of a CPU-based Direct Volume Rendering (DVR) software, which was implemented for medical visualisation in the field of CT-Angiography. An interactive DVR-plugin was finally added to the so called AngioVis-Toolbox, a software for post-processing and visualisation of CTA datasets. This work was focusing on finding adequate solutions to provide an interactive beha...

Abstract. The design of a Dynamic Voltage Restorer that is suitable for compensating regional voltage sags in 10kV distribution system is introduced in this paper. The design of the main circuit based on cascaded H-bridge, the device for energize DVR and the transformer-less coupled circuit are presented. For the voltage sags in neutral point non-grounded system, a reference voltage calculation...

For the power quality improvement of the system FACTS devices like static synchronous compensator (STATCOM), static synchronous series compensator(SSSC), interline power flow controller (IPFC), and unified power flow controller (UPFC) etc. are introduced. These devices are used for the transmission system. But now a day’s these FACTS devices are used for distribution system and called as custom...

-Dynamic Voltage Restorer (DVR) is a device used to mitigate voltage sags which are a significant power quality issue. This paper involves mathematical calculation for leading series voltage injection for mitigation of sags thereby achieving utility power factor improvement as well as power sharing between DVR and utility as per requirement and available distributed generation. Mathematical der...

DESPITE ITS SMALL MASS, the renal inner medulla plays a pivotal role in homeostasis. It adjusts the solute, water, and proton content of the final urine to match the excretory needs of the organism. The large glomerular filtrate is reabsorbed by highflow, low-gradient processing in the proximal nephron along with key transport steps that occur within the outer medulla. In combination, they prot...

A new mirror stereoscopic display for Direct Volume Rendering (DVR) is presented. The stereoscopic display system is composed of one monitor and one acrylic first surface mirror. The mirror reflects one image for one of the eyes. The geometrical transformations to compute correctly the stereo pair is presented and is the core of this paper. System considerations such as mirror placement and imp...

The Dynamic Voltage Restorer (DVR) is one of the fast, flexible, and cost effective solutions available in compensating the voltage-related power quality problems in power distribution systems. In this paper is discussed how power quality enhancement of sensitive load is achieved by applying three versions of Autonomous Group Particle Swarm Optimization like AGPSO1, AGPSO2, and AGPSO3 for tunin...

Studies investigating chair rise (CR) strategies in older adults, including the identification of CR strategies in the clinical setting, are limited. We identified biomechanical differences between CR strategies performed by older adults. The "healthy" momentum transfer (MT), the exaggerated trunk flexion (ETF), and the dominant vertical rise (DVR) CR strategies were observed in 29 women and 17...
