the use of renewable energy in power generation and sudden changes in load and fault in power transmission lines  may cause a voltage drop in the system and challenge the reliability of the system. one way to compensate the changing nature of renewable energies in the short term without the need to disconnect loads or turn on other plants, is the use of renewable energy storage. the use of ener...

fluid invasion from water-based drilling mud (wbdm) into the shale formations causes swelling,high pressure zone near the wellbore wall, and eventually wellbore instability problems duringdrilling operations. for the stability of the wellbore, physical plugging of nanoscale pore throats couldbe considered as a logical approach toward avoiding the fluid invasion into the shale formation. thispap...

introduction: in recent dentin adhesive systems etching of enamel/dentin are achieved simultaneously. the objective was to evaluate the microleakage of composite restorations using single bond2 (5th generation), clearfil s3 bond and g bond (7th generation). methods: class v cavities were prepared on  45 extracted intact premolars with gingival margins at the cementoenamel junction and they were...

this study investigated single-step extraction of heavy metals from contaminated sedimentscollected in the port of cádiz. experimental tests of washing with an aqueous solution of a chelating agent wereperformed at selected solid/liquid (s/l) ratios. two chelating agents were chosen: 0.3 m edta(ph 3.8 and 8)and sodium citrate (1 m). the objective of the tests was to investigate extractive decon...

background: use of contrast agents (cas) during ct simulation for treatment planing system leads to changes in  electron density. in this study we aimed to investigate the effect on  calculated dose of various concentrations of cas on treatment planing systems in different dose calculation algorithms. materials and methods: contrast agent (0.769 mg/ml iopromid) - water mixtures at concentration...

in our previous work, the effect of use of a water soluble cdi/nhs system as nontoxic cross-linking agent on fabrication of gelatin nanoparticles was investigated. in this research, the effect of variation in some synthetic parameters of gelatin nanoparticles cross-linked by cdi/nhs system such as type of gelatin and formulation of cross- linking agent on their size and distribution was examine...
