In a microgrid (MG), it is possible to have some sensitive loads that require high voltage quality. In this paper, a new technique is proposed for selective compensation of main voltage harmonics in islanded MGs. The proposed technique is capable of adjusting the compensation percentage in proportion with the existing disturbance in the sensitive load bus (SLB) and sharing the compensation work...

Selective laser melting processes deposit and join metal powders to near net shape in a layer-by-layer manner. The process of re-solidification several layers deposited material can result geometric deviations, the impact is particularly significant for sub-millimetre structures oriented at wide range overhang angles with respect building platform. This paper assesses benchmarks capabilities ne...

We consider a dynamic principal-agent environment in which investments and rewards (compensation opportunities) arrive stochastically over time, and are either taken immediately or foregone. The agent privately observes whether an action is currently available, but he needs the principal’s consent to take it. We show that there exists a unique optimal mechanism and analyze its qualitative prope...

Sex chromosome dosage compensation balances homogametic sex chromosome expression with autosomal expression in the heterogametic sex, leading to sex chromosome expression parity between the sexes. If compensation is incomplete, this can lead to expression imbalance and sex-biased gene expression. Recent work has uncovered an intriguing and variable pattern of dosage compensation across species ...

selective deficiency of immunoglobulin a (iga) is the most frequent primary hypogammaglobulinemia. as some iga-deficient patients have iga antibodies in their plasma which may cause anaphylactic reactions, blood centers usually maintain a list of iga-deficient blood donors to prepare compatible blood components. in this study we determined the incidence of selective iga deficiency (sigad) in no...
