Abstract Given the limited output of a 600MW direct air cooling steam turbine unit, through thermal performance test, historical operation data extraction, and comparative analysis combined with after latest overhaul, it is found that extraction pressure first section high-pressure cylinder began to appear over-pressure in recent two years. After further calculating ratio HP flow passage stage ...

introduction: laser surgery as an alternative for conventional surgical procedure has gained special attention. using carbon dioxide (co2) laser has some benefits like less post-operative pain, swelling and infection, decrease in risk of metastasis and edema, and less bleeding providing dry sites for surgery. case report: a 12 years old boy with lingual frenum with indication for excision was r...

In this article, the effect of operating conditions, such as temperature, Gas Hourly Space Velocity (GHSV), CH4/O2 ratio and diluents gas (mol% N2) on ethylene production by Oxidative Coupling of Methane (OCM) in a fixed bed reactor at atmospheric pressure was studied over Mn/Na2WO4/SiO2 ca...

This paper presents a method to control both the dc boost and the ac output voltage of Z-source inverter using neural network controllers. The capacitor voltage of Z-source network has been controlled linearly in order to improve the transient response of the dc boost control of the Z-source inverter. The peak value of the line to line ac output voltage is used to control and keep the ac output...

this research follows two aims in case of the iranian economy. first, study of the presence of inflation persistency, and second, looking for an optimal monetary policy rule. results show that inflation in the economy of iran is persistent, in which, short-term and long-term effects of monetary policy should be considered. for this purpose, a loss function for the central bank with arguments of...

in this article, the effect of operating conditions, such as temperature, gas hourly space velocity (ghsv), ch4/o2 ratio and diluents gas (mol% n2) on ethylene production by oxidative coupling of methane (ocm) in a fixed bed reactor at atmospheric pressure was studied over mn/na2wo4/sio2 catalyst. based on the properties of neural networks, an artificial neural network was used for model develo...

Substantial variation exists with respect to the management of traumatic brain injuries (TBI) in children. Centers that practice aggressive treatment of TBI may improve survival, but it is not clear that the outcomes can be justified using cost-effectiveness criteria. This study illustrates the use of cost-effectiveness analysis to assess interventions for improving outcomes in children by asse...
