Voltage sags can be symmetrical or unsymmetrical depending on the causes of the sag. At the present time, one of the most common procedures for mitigating voltage sags is by the use of dynamic voltage restorers (DVRs). By definition, a DVR is a controlled voltage source inserted between the network and a sensitive load through a booster transformer injecting voltage into the network in order to...

A series of alkyl-group-wrapped and halogen atom functionalized unsymmetrical squaraine dyes ( ISQ ) were designed synthesized. maximum DSSC device efficiency 7.80% was achieved for iodine funtionalized ISQ-I dye in Z-150 with CDCA.

Currently, most of the reported noble-metal nanocrystals are limited to a high level of symmetry, as constrained by the inherent, face-centered cubic (fcc) lattice of these metals. In this paper, we report, for the first time, a facile and versatile approach (backed up by a clear mechanistic understanding) for breaking the symmetry of an fcc lattice and thus obtaining nanocrystals with highly u...

the treatment equimolar quantities of carboxylic acids with acid chlorides in the presence of zno brings abouthighly efficient unsymmetrical anhydrides at room temperature in solvent-free condition. reactivity trendsfavored formation of the product using both electron deficient and rich aryl acids and acid chlorides.

The NNW-trending Dena Fault, with 140 km length, cuts the major structures of Zagros Fold-Thrust Belt in Borujen region. The fault has divided the region in two zones, in which different structural, andmorphological features as well assedimentation and seismtectonic characteristics have developed. This study presents a new interpretation for the kinematics of Dena Fault based on field evidence....
