Purpose To evaluate the central visual field (CVF) with specialized Amsler grid testing methods that include contrast sensitivity evaluation, in an attempt to detect abnormalities not identified with standard methods and to define new patterns of CVF deficits in two different diseases. Methods 3D computer-automated threshold Amsler grid testing (3D-CTAG) was performed at five levels of contrast...

The battery of electric vehicles (EV) can be charged from the power grid or discharged back to it. Parking lots can aggregate hundreds of EVs which makes them a significant and flexible load/generation component in the grid. In a smart grid environment, the smart parking lot (SPL) can benefit from the situation of the simultaneous connection to the EVs and power grid. This paper proposes a new ...

abstract - one of the important problems in grid environments is data replication in grid sites. reliability and availability of data replication in some cases is considered low. to separate sites with high reliability and high availability of sites with low availability and low reliability, clustering can be used. in this study, the data grid dynamically evaluate and predict the condition of t...

in this paper an efficient dual time implicit approach is used to solve viscous laminar flow around two bodies with general motion. therefore, the grid includes a background grid and two sets of grids around the moving bodies. rotational and translational motions of two bodies are managed separately in this grid arrangement. in this work the overset concept for hybrid grid is used and flow vari...

purpose: to determine the effect of grid pattern laser photocoagulation on diabetic diffuse macular edema with assessment of visual outcome. patients & methods: the author reviewed the medical records of 84 eyes of 62 patients with diabetic diffuse macular edema treated with grid pattern green argon laser photocoagulation in farabi eye hospital between the years 1992-1995, the follow-up period ...

A detailed model of wind power station, including Double Fed Induction Generator, DFIG is presented in this paper. Two control mechanisms are included in the model. The inner control system uses stator flux oriented control for the rotor side converter and grid voltage vector control for the grid side converter. The outer control system is used for wind turbine pitch angle. PSCAD/EMTDC is us...
