The rapid growth of microgrids with various distributed energy resources (DERs) brings new opportunities for local sharing in the microgrids. However, uncertainties renewable generation and loads pose a great technical challenge microgrid operator (MGO). Thus, this paper proposes transactive (TES) approach MGO DER aggregators to minimize total social cost, considering network operating constrai...

High mobility group I (HMGI) proteins are overexpressed in several human malignant tumors. We previously demonstrated that inhibition of HMGI synthesis prevents thyroid cell transformation. Here, we report that an adenovirus carrying the HMGI(Y) gene in an antisense orientation (Ad-Yas) induced programmed cell death of two human thyroid anaplastic carcinoma cell lines (ARO and FB-1), but not no...

Reaction of [(((Ad)ArO)(3)tacn)U(III)] (1) or [((Me(3)Si)(2)N)(3)U(III)] (3) with tetramethylimidazol-2-ylidene (Me(4)IMC:) yields novel N-heterocyclic carbene complexes [(((Ad)ArO)(3)tacn)U(III)(Me(4)IMC:)] (2) and [((Me(3)Si)(2)N)(3)U(III)(Me(4)IMC:)] (4). Uranium complexes 2 and 4 represent the first examples of compounds with an N-heterocyclic carbene ligand coordinated to a low-valent uran...

17β-estradiol (E2), a neurosteroid synthesized by P450-aromatase (ARO), modulates various brain functions. We characterized the role of the locally synthesized E2 on striatal long-term synaptic plasticity and explored possible interactions between E2 receptors (ERs) and dopamine (DA) receptors in the dorsal striatum of adult male rats. Inhibition of E2 synthesis or antagonism of ERs prevented t...

Bartal [4, 5] gave a randomized polynomial time algorithm that given any n point metric G, constructs a tree T such that the expected stretch (distortion) of any edge is at most O(logn log logn). His result has found several applications and in particular has resulted in approximation algorithms for many graph optimization problems. However approximation algorithms based on his result are inher...

For every NAND formula of size N , there is a bounded-error O(N 1 2 )-time quantum algorithm that evaluates this formula on a black-box input, for ε > 0 an arbitrarily small constant. It follows that the (2 − ε)-th power of the quantum query complexity is a lower bound on the formula size, almost solving in the positive an open problem posed by Laplante, Lee and Szegedy. Institute for Quantum I...

We consider the dynamic map labeling problem: given a set of rectangular labels on the map, the goal is to appropriately select visible ranges for all the labels such that no two consistent labels overlap at every scale and the sum of total visible ranges is maximized. We propose approximation algorithms for several variants of this problem. For the simple ARO problem, we provide a 3c log n-app...

Upscaling of ecological effects from indoor microcosms to outdoor mesocosms bridging the gap between controlled laboratory conditions and highly complex natural environments poses several challenges: typical standard water types used in experiments are not feasible large experiments. Additionally, moving micro- meso-scale, biodiversity is enhanced. We performed an microcosm experiment determine...

Nowadays, the use of demand response programs (DRPs) in a variety long-term and short-term planning problems has been explored. In this paper, generation transmission expansion (GTEP) model along with FACTS device allocation is presented. Furthermore, are taken into account for more load flexibility. The proposed presented as multi-objective minimizing problem considering emission, cost, voltag...
