Original scientific paper Network skeleton reconfiguration is an important task during power system restoration after blackout. The uncertainty of the restoration time and the restoration successful rate during the network skeleton reconfiguration are considered in the paper. The restoration time of transmission lines and transformers, units’ startup time limit and the restoration successful ra...

Restoration is a significant component of NOAA’s work and continues to increase. NOAA has played a central role in thousands of restoration projects. Those projects appear to be increasing in number and scale, both in dollars and acres. NOAA increasingly serves as an advisor on the best use of significant levels of restoration funds. NOAA is one of a very small handful of truly global leaders i...

Arresting land degradation in impoverished rural environments is a global priority. Restoration ecology provides a promising framework, but it will need to be modified when applied to a rural development setting. There is a need for increased understanding of social dynamics in land restoration, however few systematic studies exist. This paper explores the social factors influencing restoration...

In the event of a major network outage such as a ber cable cut, a network can experience signiicant deterioration of network performance. To address such a situation, a network can be equipped with restoration capacity. We present here a mathematical model and design algorithm for determination of transmission network restoration capacity. We then present models for two restoration options { co...

The aim of this work was to present a small cross-sectional survey of composite restoration clinical attributes associated with choices for replacement. Ninety-four composite fillings selected to be replaced were included in this study. A questionnaire was filled out after each procedure in order to assess the clinical conditions that indicated the restoration replacement (marginal staining, un...

Purpose: To compare in vitro fracture resistance of endodontically treated premolars restored with bonded amalgam or resin composite. Materials and Methods: Fifty intact and caries-free premolars that had been extracted for orthodontic treatment were selected. All teeth were subjected to endodontic procedures and MOD cavity preparation. They were then randomly divided into the five following gr...

[1] River restoration is at the forefront of applied hydrologic science. However, many river restoration projects are conducted with minimal scientific context. We propose two themes around which a research agenda to advance the scientific basis for river restoration can be built. First, because natural variability is an inherent feature of all river systems, we hypothesize that restoration of ...

sanitary landfills, created for the disposal of solid waste, usually are developed into parks afterthey are closed. however, soil amelioration with organic matter is usually needed to restore fertility andpromote revegetation. sewage sludge creates a massive waste disposal problem. the use of composted sewage sludge (biosolid) as a soil conditioner might restore the soil fertility at landfill s...
