active filters have proven to be more effective than passive techniques to improve power quality and to solve harmonic and power factor problems due to nonlinear loads. this paper proposes a control scheme based on the instantaneous active and reactive power. the inverter of this active filter is a three-phase, two-level converter. space vector technique is used as modulators and pattern genera...

this paper presents a new control methodology for active power filters that provide an adaptive online harmonic estimation with partial and selective harmonic reduction schemes, which has been implemented within an integrated controller. the proposed approach is to provide partial and selective reduction of those individual harmonics which exceed the recommended levels as set by regulatory bodi...

Background: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic, typically progressive and most common autoimmune disease which damaged the central nervous system. According to the reports in 2008, this disorder has affected 2 and 2.5 million people globally. While the reason is not clear, proposed causes for this include immunologic, environmental, infectious and genetic factors, and sexuality. MS can cause ...

background: recent accumulated evidence suggests that prolactin (prl) is an important immunomodulator and plays an important role in the pathogenesis of systemic lupus erythematosus (sle). the current study aimed to compare hyperprolactinemia frequency and evaluate its possible association with lupus activity in sle patients in zahedan. methods: in a case-control study we determined serum prola...

HCV-induced hepatitis is one of the most debilitating diseases. The limited number of anti-HCV drugs and drug-resistance necessitate developing of new scaffolds with different mode of actions. HCV non-structural protein 5B (NS5B) is an attractive target for development of novel inhibitors of HCV replication. In this paper, new N'-arylidene-6-(benzyloxy)-4-oxo-1,4-dihydroquinoline-3-carbohydrazi...

iran is well known for having countless historical and instrumental records of tectonic events. shahriary catchment, as a study area, is part of the zagros collision seismic province. this research aimed to introduce a new method which is useful in identifying the relative active tectonic events of an area. the research method was designed in order to calculate the relative active tectonic inde...

background applying an appropriate method of analgesia in labor without alteration in its progression is of high importance. previous literature did not provide much information about the effect of various kinds of anesthesia on the duration of active phase of labor. objectives to assess the effect of painless labor methods on the duration of active phase of labor. patients and methods 80 pregn...

background: indoor radon gas (222rn) has been recognized as one of the health hazards for human. air radon comes mainly from basement soil and construction materials. saghand region with rich uranium mines lies 180 km from yazd, so the indoor radon concentration can be high. yazd, with population of about 457000, is the biggest city near saghand, thus, indoor gamma background radiation of yazd ...

common yew taxus baccata l. is an evergreen, slow growing   tree, indigenous of hyrcanian forests in iran. discovery of paclitaxel as an   anti tumor agent in the bark of taxus has increased importance of this   plant for treatment of breast and ovary cancer, especially 7000 women die annually   due to breast cancer in iran. regarding destructive method of paclitaxel   production and protection...
