Bayes theorem provides a formal framework for combining prior and sample information parameter estimation in the presence of measurement structural errors. Prior knowledge, however, may not always be available or too vague to incorporate into distribution. In such cases, reference must chosen an objective analysis. Typically, uniform density over possible ranges parameters is as prior. However,...

11 As a recently increasing trend among different applications of smart grid vision, smart households as a new implementation area of demand 12 response (DR) strategies have drawn more attention both in research and in engineering practice. On the other hand, optimum sizing of 13 renewable energy based small scale hybrid systems is also a topic that is widely covered by the existing literature....

Detailed three-dimensional neutronics calculations have been performed for the U.S. design of the ITER magnet shield. The total nuclear heating in the TF coils is 35 kW in the technology phase and 42 kW in the physics phase. Using 5 cm thick W back shield layers behind the vacuum vessel in locations with limited shielding space results in acceptable local magnet damage levels. The parts of the ...

We have demonstrated an efficient high-peak-power AlGaInAs eye-safe wavelength disk laser at 1555 nm. The quantum defect and the thermal load are significantly reduced by pumping the quantum well directly. The overall conversion efficiency is enhanced over three times compared with the barrier pumping method. With a pump peak power of 3.7 kW, an output peak power of 0.52 kW is generated at a pu...

Antibacterial and antifungal peptides have increasingly been used to combat the antibiotic-resistant microbes in recent years. KW-13, a novel cationic α-helical antibacterial peptide consisting of 13 amino acid residues, was designed and chemically synthesized. The peptide has a net charge of +6 with a total hydrophobic ratio of 38%. The antibacterial experiments revealed that KW-13 strongly in...

Abstract-According to SECA program guidelines, solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC) will be produced in the form of 3–10 kW modules for residential use. In addition to residential use, these modules can also be used in apartment buildings, hospitals, etc., where a higher power rating would be required. For example, a hospital might require a 250 kW power supply. To provide this power using the SOFC mo...

We examined in vivo FLT3 inhibition in acute myeloid leukemia patients treated with chemotherapy followed by the FLT3 inhibitor lestaurtinib, comparing newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia patients with relapsed patients. Because we noted that in vivo FLT3 inhibition by lestaurtinib was less effective in the relapsed patients compared with the newly diagnosed patients, we investigated whether...

The effects of KW-5092, [1-[2-[[[5-(piperidinomethyl)-2- furanyl]methyl]amino]ethyl]-2-imidazolidinylidene]propanedinitr ile fumarate, on the loperamide- or clonidine-induced delayed propulsion were determined in rats and compared with those of other gastroprokinetic agents. Administration of loperamide (0.3 mg/kg, s.c.) or clonidine (0.01 mg/kg, s.c.) induced delay of the evacuation time of th...

In this paper, modeling, simulation and experimental study of a 10 kW three-phase grid connected inverter are presented. The mathematical model of the system is derived, and characteristic curves of the system are obtained in MATLAB with m-file for various switching frequencies, dc-link voltages and filter inductance values. The curves are used for parameter selection of three-phase grid connec...

in recent years, using new methods in utilization of energy resources has become necessary due to environmental pollution and restriction of energy resources. the hybrid system presented in this article produced power with sofc and stirling engine. the purpose is to analyze a 50 kw solid oxide fuel cell that could produce enough thermal energy for a 10 kw stirling engine working in the hybrid s...
