As one of the most promising Distributed Generation (DG) sources, wind power technology has been widely developed in recent years. Doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) is currently employed as one of the most common topologies for wind turbine generators (WTGs). This generator operates as a synchronous/asynchronous hybrid generators. Therefore, it is necessary to power engineers find understan...

The global effort to understand the molecular drivers of cancer onset and progression is now coming to fruition with the identification of specific genomic and epigenomic events that influence signaling through key oncogenic pathways. Genetic studies using inducible expression of the critical growth controlling oncogenes MYC, RAS, PI3K and AKT have shown unequivocally that, in conjunction with ...

Niger—with the world’s fastest growing population, its highest total fertility rate (TFR), a small and diminishing amount of arable land, low annual rainfall, a high level of malnutrition, extremely low levels of education, gross gender inequities and an uncertain future in the face of climate change—is the most extreme example of a catastrophe that is likely to overtake the Sahel. The policies...

Executive summary We deal with the overall problem of mapping XML schemas to object models, where the resulting object models are meant for pro-grammatic, schema-aware access to XML data. The provision of such 'X-toO mappings' involves various challenges; one of them is variation in style of schema organization. Without appropriate countermeasures, such variation affects the resulting object mo...

The detection of critical infrastructures in large territories represented by aerial and satellite images is high importance several fields such as security, anomaly detection, land use planning change detection. However, the complex they have highly variable shapes sizes, i.e., some infrastructures, electrical substations, are too small while others, airports, large. Besides, airports can a su...
