S uperior vena cava (SVC) syndrome is an uncommon entity that affects approximately 15,000 Americans per year. Symptoms result from near or complete obstruction of the SVC and include facial and upper-extremity edema, chest pain, cough, dyspnea, dysphagia, proptosis, cyanosis, and headache. The severity of these symptoms relies upon the degree of SVC compression and the location of the obstruct...

1) How are SVC defined in these measurements? As stated in the manuscript, the presence of SVC was “detected” using the CPI, which defined the physical boundaries of SVC encountered by the C-130. Because the CPI was operational on every SVC flight, this optimized the definition of physical boundaries of SVC encountered by the WB-57F. Also, as explained in the manuscript, quantitative 2D-S measu...

The paper presents the analysis of harmonic distortion when non-linear load is connected in different phases of power system with STATCOM for singly excited induction generator system with wind turbine as prime mover. Now-a-days due to the drastically increased in use of non linear loads causes many power quality problems in power system network. Those problems are classified as reactive power ...

Background: Computer usage has rapidly grown. This is because it helps to resolve problems, i.e., encountered in daily life by individuals. Various monitor screens that have been developed affect the userchr('39')s eyes. Screen size is one of the relevant impacts. Thus, this study compared the immediate effects of two computer screen sizes on visual fatigue in Video Display Terminal (VDT) users...

A 49-year-old male was referred for catheter ablation for paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF). PAF had recurred after each of 2 prior left atrial ablation procedures. He had a structurally normal heart with a left atrial diameter of 43 mm. The patient presented to the electrophysiology laboratory in AF with an average AF cycle length (CL) of 150 ms and reconnected pulmonary veins. After electr...

This paper describes the fuzzy boundaries between support verb constructions (SVC) with ter “have” and dar “give” and causative operator verb (VopC) constructions involving these same verbs, in Brazilian Portuguese (BP), which form a complex set of relations: (i) both verbs are the support verb of the same noun (SVC); (ii) dar is the standard (active-like) SVC while ter is a converse (passive-l...

In this paper the control strategies of svc are described.SVC is used to stabilize the voltage profile in a grid system.In the designing of SVC there is a combination of three TSC’s and one TCR.The SVC consists of a group of shunt connected capacitor banks and inductors with fast speed of response afforded by thyristor switching. The SVC provides the required amount of reactive power compensati...

This paper presents analytical approach for modeling of 11-level cascade multilevel STATCOM connected to power system for voltage regulation applications. A technique based on energy equivalence is proposed for computation of equivalent capacitance which represents true value of variable structure of capacitances connected in individual H-bridges. The necessity of equivalent capacitor is an ess...
