Machine stator winding insulation degradation is one of the main results machine aging. It non-negligible once this process becomes asymmetric between phases. The traditional way to determine state health a partial discharge test. However, method requires system offline, which causes production loss and extra administrative burden. This paper presents an idea for better characterizing machine's...

A key unanswered question in smooth muscle biology is whether phosphorylation of the myosin regulatory light chain (RLC) is sufficient for regulation of contraction, or if thin-filament-based regulatory systems also contribute to this process. To address this issue, the endogenous RLC was extracted from single smooth muscle cells and replaced with either a thiophosphorylated RLC or a mutant RLC...

Super League (SL) and Championship (RLC) rugby league players will compete against each other in 2015 and beyond. To identify possible discrepancies, this study compared the anthropometric profile and body composition of current SL (full-time professional) and RLC (part-time semi-professional) players using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA). A cross-sectional design involved DXA scans on 6...

A method is introduced to evaluate time domain signals within RLC trees with arbitrary accuracy in response to any input signal. This method depends on finding a low frequency reduced-order transfer function by direct truncation of the exact transfer function at different nodes of an RLC tree. The method is numerically accurate for any order of approximation, which permits approximations to be ...

OBJECTIVE Participation in residential learning communities (RLCs) is associated with lower rates of alcohol consumption among college students. This study used variable- and pattern-centered analytic approaches to examine the influence of RLCs on the drinking behavior of students during their first 2 years in college. METHOD A Web-based survey was administered to a stratified random sample o...

Several works have endorsed a significant role of the immune system and inflammation in the pathogenesis of heart failure. As indirect evidence, an association between a low relative lymphocyte count (RLC%) and worse outcomes found in this population has been suggested. Nevertheless, the role of RLC% for risk stratification in a large and nonselected population of patients with acute heart fail...

Abstract The high‐voltage direct current (HVDC) power transmission short‐circuit fault protection is a big challenge, and it the main obstacle to promote HVDC multi‐terminal networks. A natural commutation topology (NCCT) of hybrid circuit breaker (DCCB) integrated with limiting proposed in this paper, which shares several obvious merits, such as lower peak current, shorter isolation time low t...

The human vocal tract has been successfully modeled as a series of uniform cross-section tubes concatenated end-to-end. Such a model has been part of the study of the human speech generation system for many years. The similarity of the equations for sound propagation in these tubes and transmission line equations has been exploited in articulatory speech synthesis systems. Each section of tube ...

Radio Link Control (RLC) is the layer two protocol used in 3G UMTS cellular systems for flow control and error recovery. Due to the complexity of the protocol and the multitude of parameter configurations available, it is extremely difficult to model RLC analytically. Therefore we present a simulation model to study RLC performance in UMTS systems. We focus on the impacts of the poll prohibit t...
