This paper addresses the problem of dynamic frequency control in a diesel-based mini-grid. It is shown that a virtual synchronous machine (VSM) can support dynamic frequency control by adding virtual inertia and damping to the system. However, it is found that the typical formulation of damping power does not work properly when the grid forming gen-set operates in droop mode because of the unkn...

In an islanded microgrid, while considering the complex nature of line impedance, the generalized droop control fails to share the actual real/reactive power between the distributed generation (DG) units. To overcome this power sharing issue, in this paper a new approach based on feed forward neural network (FFNN) is proposed. Also, the proposed FFNN based droop control method simultaneously co...

PURPOSE to investigate the added value of qualitative and quantitative evaluation of diffusion weighted (DW) magnetic resonance (MR) imaging in response assessment after neoadjuvant chemo-radiotherapy (CRT) in patients with locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC). METHODS 31 patients with LARC (stage ≥ T3) were enrolled in the study. All patients underwent conventional MRI and DWI before starti...

The Droop quota is traditionally rounded up to the next integer. It has been pointed out by Lundell and Hill that this can have negative consequences. We give two further examples of such consequences, showing that rounding the Droop quota can cause violations of monotonicity and proportionality. This supports the conclusion by Lundell and Hill that it is better to use the exact Droop quota wit...

This work proposes a low-power 8 channel neural recording system for use in advanced closed-loop neurostimulation applications for the detection and treatment of neurological disorders such as Parkinson’s disease. The analog front end senses and filters the neural activity with eight low-noise preamplifiers and band-pass filters. The neural sensing signals are multiplexed to a single logarithmi...

The present scenario is towards shifting centralised power generation (central grid) to distributed generation (micro grid) with smaller sources of capacity. The isolated micro grid is connected to main grid with inverters at the front end for efficient exchange of power sharing; power exchange among distributed generation (DG) sources in an isolated micro grid is possible with droop characteri...

Prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) is a membrane protein that is overexpressed manifold in prostate cancer and provides an attractive target for therapy. PSMA ADC is an antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) that consists of a fully human anti-PSMAmonoclonal antibody conjugated to monomethylauristatin E through a valine-citrulline linker. In this study, the antitumor activity of PSMA ADCwas evalu...

We treat the emerging power systems with direct current (DC) MicroGrids, characterized with high penetration of power electronic converters. We rely on the power electronics to propose a decentralized solution for autonomous learning of and adaptation to the operating conditions of the DC Mirogrids; the goal is to eliminate the need to rely on an external communication system for such purpose. ...

Objective: This study aimed to determine a threshold value for distinguishing early-stage chronic kidney disease (CKD) from moderate and advanced stages as well patients with CKD those normal renal function using apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) normalized ADC values. Methods: retrospective enrolled 257 patients. Diffusion-weighted images were obtained set of b = 50,400,800 In each patient,...
