This paper describes the application of static var compensators, (SVC) on an electrical distribution network containing two large synchronous motors, one of which is excited via a three-phase thyristor bridge rectifier. The second machine is excited via a diode bridge rectifier. Based on linear optimization control (LOC), the measurable feedback signals are applied to the control system loops o...

Bioinformatics can be considered as a new field of study and it promises a vast exploration area (Carzaniga., Rosenblum., Wolf ., 2001). In order to expedite the maturity in this area, a proper and supportive portal where all researchers could gather and cooperate in conducting their research need to be established. One of the features in a portal that can assist Bioinformatics researchers in p...

We construct an example of a torus T over a field K for which the Galois symbol K(K;T, T )/nK(K;T, T ) → H(K,T [n] ⊗ T [n]) is not injective for some n. Here K(K;T, T ) is the Milnor K-group attached to T introduced by Somekawa. Introduction Let K be a field, m a positive integer and n an integer prime to the characteristic of K. Recently Rost and Voevodsky announced a proof of the bijectivity ...

Methods In the first pilot, in addition to routine CM treatment (herbal and acupuncture), CM Practitioners also provided general psychological counseling, advice on dietary regime and self-administered acupressure based on syndrome differentiation for dysthymia. The Centre on Behavioral Health at the University of Hong Kong was commissioned in the second phase to develop a tailormade I-BMS inte...

Recently, a large number of mobile wellness applications have emerged for assisting users in self-monitoring of daily food intake and physical activities. While such applications are in abundance, many research surveys have found that the users soon give them up after giving some initial try. This article presents our application for healthcare self-management that monitors users’ activities bu...

spain has had so many evolutions in its urban planning system and it is one of the countries with regional system. regarding to its successful experience in this issue, this research tries to look over this system. in this respect, we will introduce the general characteristic of this country and will review urban system in its different levels. at the end, we will point to new urban acts and ac...

Past earthquakes have demonstrated that old RC bridges may be seismically vulnerable. Bridge responses during the last decades illustrated the necessity of the seismic assessment of bridges especially those which were designed with old codes. In this research an existing concrete bridge representative of the most common bridges in the highway system in Iran are studied. Push over and nonlinear ...
