Emerging technology with endovascular techniques has expanded our armamentarium to treat the aberrant right subclavian artery. We describe a hybrid technique using an Amplatzer plug in combination with a carotid subclavian bypass to treat a patient with dysphagia lusoria.

It has been recognized that an increased penetration of electric vehicles (EVs) may potentially alter load profile in a distribution network. As EVs are regarded as a diversely distributed load so a deterministic method, to predict EV charging load, may not account for all possible factors that could affect the power system. Thus, a stochastic approach is applied that takes into account various...

Splitting power is a tricky problem for series plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (SPHEVs) for the multi-working modes of powertrain and the hard prediction of future power request of the vehicle. In this work, we present a methodology for splitting power for a battery pack and an auxiliary power unit (APU) in SPHEVs. The key steps in this methodology are (a) developing a hybrid automaton (HA) mo...

In this paper, we report on the enhancement of spectral photoresponsivity of porous silicon metal-semiconductor metal (PS-MSM) photodetector embedded with colloidal quantum dots (QDs) inside the pore layer. The detection efficiency of QDs/PS hybrid-MSM photodetector was enhanced by five times larger than that of the undoped PS-MSM photodetector. The bandgap alignment between PS (approximately 1...

A host of technologies has been developed to achieve these aims of the smart grid. Some of these technologies include plug-in electric vehicle, demand response program, energy storage system and renewable distributed generation. However, the integration of the smart grid technologies in the power system operation studies such as economic emission unit commitment problem causes two major challen...

A two-stage converter connects the input grid voltage to a pack of batteries with varying between 48-400 V, depending on size and range vehicle, battery-operated electric Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles (PHEVs). This article offers unique built-in that can interface both high (HV) low (LV) batteries. For all car architectures universal charger accommodate this wide battery voltages is suitable...

We have studied the interaction of atomic hydrogen with (5,5) and (10,0) single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNT) using density functional theory. These calculations use Gaussian orbitals and periodic boundary conditions. We compare results from the local spin density approximation, generalized gradient approximation (GGA), and hybrid density functionals. We have first kept the SWNT geometric stru...

Recently, Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles (PHEVs) have gathered a lot of attention by integrating an electric motor with Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) to minimize fuel consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. The On-Board Chargers (OBCs) are selected in this research because they limited dimensions mass, also consume low amounts power. Equivalent Series Resistance (ESR) filter capacitor is...
