This paper presents a fast and accurate method to determine the available transfer capability. Ralston’smethod is used to predict the two trajectory points of voltagemagnitude, power flow, and maximum generator rotor angle difference. Then, the cubic spline interpolation technique is used to accurately trace the P-V, P-S, or P-Δδ curves between two points of trajectory. The P-V, P-S and PΔδ cur...

The Radial Trace Transform (RTT) is an attractive tool for wavefield separation because it lowers the apparent temporal frequency of radial events like ground roll, making it possible to remove them from the data by simple bandpass filtering in the Radial Trace (RT) domain. We discuss two implementations of the RTT. In the first, and better known, the RT domain is well-sampled, and thus suitabl...

the aim of this study was to measure the alterations in serum zinc (zn) copper (cu) and iron (fe) concentrations in patients with acute and chronic cutaneous leishmaniasis. serum zinc and copper were measured by flameless atomic absorption spectrophotometer and serum iron concentration was measured by the ferrozine method with commercial kits and assay was carried out by using an automatic anal...

background & aim: in some studies, changes in trace elements of abuse of addictive substances have been mentioned. due to the effects of trace elements on the immune system and their effects on susceptibility to infectious agents, the purpose of this study was to investigate the effect(s) of morphine dependency on the concentration of trace elements (copper, zinc and manganese) levels in serum ...

background : noise pollution and workers' noise exposure are common in industrial factories in iran. in order to reduce this noise pollution, evaluation and investigation of noise emission are both necessary. in this study, different noise mapping methodsare used for determining the distribution of noise.   materials and methods : in the present study, for preparing a noise map in a hall o...

Corrosion in general is a complex interaction between water and metal surfaces and materials in which the water is stored or transported. Water quality monitoring in terms of corrosion and scaling is crucial, and a key element of preventive maintenance, given the economic and health hurts caused by corrosion and scaling in water utilities. The aim of this study is to determine the best model fo...

Interpolation operators map a function u to an element Iu of a finite element space. Unlike more general approximation operators, interpolants are defined locally. Estimates of the interpolation error, i.e., the difference u− Iu, are of utmost importance in numerical analysis. These estimates depend on the size of the finite elements, the polynomial degree employed, and the regularity of u. In ...

drought monitoring and evaluation in water resources systems, are basic steps in systems analysis aswell as the optimal water resources allocation for different demands. therefore, in this study, whole of irancountry was selected as the study area, and it was attempted to determine the simultaneous droughts whichhad been occurred in the period of 1981-2010, using monthly rainfall data of 31 syn...
