Integrated energy systems utilizing renewable sources are sustainable and environmentally substitutes for conventional fossil-fired energy systems. A new multigeneration plant with two inputs, such as biomass and solar energy, and four useful outputs, such as cooling, heating, power, and distilled water, is presented and investigated in this paper. The proposed system includes evacuated tub...

In the book Boolean Function Complexity by Stasys Jukna [7], two lower bound techniques for Tree-like Cutting Plane proofs (henceforth, “Tree-CP proofs”) using Karchmer-Widgerson type communication games (henceforth, “KW games”) are presented: The first, applicable to Tree-CP proofs with bounded coefficients, translates Ω(t) deterministic lower bounds on KW games to 2 logn) lower bounds on Tree...

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine whether histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitors (HDACI) such as vorinostat or entinostat (SNDX-275) could increase the lethality of the dual Bcr/AblAurora kinase inhibitor KW-2449 in various Bcr/Ablþ human leukemia cells, including those resistant to imatinib mesylate (IM). Experimental Design: Bcr/Ablþ chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) and acu...

—Due to the development of intelligent demand-side management with automatic control, distributed populations of large residential loads, such as air conditioners (ACs) and electrical water heaters (EWHs), have the opportunities to provide effective demand-side ancillary services for load serving entities (LSEs) to reduce the emissions and network operating costs. Most present approaches are re...

The X2 nested-channel Hall-effect thruster has been operated at constant discharge powers of 5 kW and 6 kW. Thrust measurements showed that improved performance over an extended range of specific impulse can be obtained by transitions between operating modes of the X2. The simultaneous operation of both channels provided the best performance at low specific impulse, where higher mass flow rates...

Results of an investigation dealing with the behaviour of grid connecfod induction generators (GCIG) driven by typical prime movers such as minihydro/wind turbines are presented. Certain practical operational ..problems of such systems are identified. Analytical techniques are developed to study the behaviour of such systems . The system consists of the induction generator (IG) feeding a 11 kV ...

An animal model for testing pulmonary toxicity of KW-2149, a new mitomycin C analogue, was developed (by intravenously injecting 3.28 mg/kg of the drug into male SD rats 3 times at weekly intervals), and exhibits pleural effusion from 1 week after the last injection. In this animal model, repeated intravenous injections of dexamethasone (DM), following any of three different schedules examined,...

SiC MOSFETs are applied to constitute a three-phase, 5-kW LLC series resonant dc/dc converter with isolation transformers. A switching frequency of around 200 kHz for the transistors successfully reduces the volume of these isolation transformers, whereas insulatedgate bipolar transistors (IGBTs) are not capable of achieving such a high switching speed. The high-voltage tolerance of SiC MOSFETs...
