Racemates increase the chances of crystallization by allowing molecular contacts to be formed in a greater number of ways. With the advent of protein synthesis, the production of protein racemates and racemic-protein crystallography are now possible. Curiously, racemic DNA crystallography had not been investigated despite the commercial availability of L- and D-deoxyribo-oligonucleotides. Here,...

This paper investigates the effect of simultaneous placement of DGs and smart meters (SMs), on voltage profile improvement in active distribution networks (ADNs). A substantial center of attention has recently been on responsive loads initiated in power system problem studies such as distributed generations (DGs). Existence of responsive loads in active distribution networks (ADNs) would have u...

Due to a growing skilled worker shortage ever more companies are looking for new and innovative ways of recruiting talent. While first companies have started using social media for recruiting, there is still a lack of research on this topic, in particular on the use of social media for active sourcing. Therefore, this paper investigates, based on a case study at the German Federal Employment Ag...

results the rate of first-time successful spinal needle insertion was not significantly different between the clsp and tsp groups (62.9% versus 55.7%, p > 0.05). ease of landmark palpation in the clsp group was not significantly different from that in the tsp group (86.7% versus 76.4%, p > 0.05). the number of needle-bone contacts in both groups were not significantly different (p > 0.05). the ...

Presence of distributed generation (DG) in distribution systems has significant impacts on the operational characteristics of these systems, also using capacitor for reactive compensation and loss reduction is so common. Injected harmonic currents from nonlinear loads into distribution system distort all of voltages and currents and must be considered when placing the capacitor banks so that th...

This study presents a multi-objective formulation using Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) approach, for optimal placement and sizing of distributed generation (DG) resources in the power distribution systems in order to minimize the cost of power losses and improve the voltage profile and energy not supplied. The proposed method considers the options of the DGs installation and takes more numbe...

Loss minimization is a long progressing issue mainly in distribution system. Nevertheless its effect led to temperature rise due to significant voltage drop through the distribution line. Thus, compensation scheme should be proper scheduled in the attempt to alleviate the voltage drop phenomenon. Distributed generation has been profoundly known for voltage profile improvement; provided that ove...

In order to minimize power losses caused by high current and improve the voltage profile in the network distribution, the introduction of dispersed generations also called productions decentralized in distribution network (DG) plays an important role. The installation of DGs directly affects the power requested or purchased. The sizing and placement of DGs in the system must be optimal because ...
