An increased number of distributed small generators connected to the power grid allows higher total efficiency and higher stability of electrical power supply by exporting energy to the grid to be achieved during peak demand hours. On the other hand, it poses new challenges in structuring and developing the control approaches for these distributed energy resources. This paper proposes an improv...

Energy harvesting is a process in which energy which would otherwise be wasted is captured, stored and then used to power a system. Devices having such capabilities enjoy an extended life particularly advantageous in systems with limited accessibility, such as biomedical implants and structure embedded micro and wireless sensors. A viable family of materials for this purpose is piezoelectric ma...

Virtual machine placement to the PMs of the cloud datacenter is one of the important problems in cloud environment to provide better service to the cloud users. This research work proposed techniques to improve the performance of virtual machine placement in cloud environment. The proposed placement algorithm consisted of two main tasks. The first task optimizes the scheduling, while the second...

Air-Conditioning (AC) systems are responsible for a considerable portion of the energy consumption in buildings located in high cooling load requiring regions of Iran. In addition, the heat flow through the buildingschr('39') external walls plays a major role in cooling load estimations for the countrychr('39')s hot regions. Therefore, application of insulation materials in external walls has g...

OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS This study aimed to determine the relationship among cognitive load condition and measures of autonomic arousal and voice production in healthy adults. STUDY DESIGN A prospective study design was conducted. METHODS Sixteen healthy young adults (eight men, eight women) produced a sentence containing an embedded Stroop task in each of two cognitive load conditions: congr...

INTRODUCTION Forward fall-related distal radius fractures account for approximately 20% of all fractures and continue to be the most commonly seen by orthopaedic surgeons [1]. Regardless, our understanding of how these injuries result from dynamic, three dimensional impacts is limited. Duma et al. in 2002 [2] presented an injury risk criteria model for these fractures that included peak axial f...

In the present work, an experimental investigation on wire electrical discharge machining (WEDM) of Monel-400 has been presented. Monel-400 is a nickel–copper-based alloy, mostly employed in ships and corrosion-resisting applications. Four input WEDM parameters namely discharge current (Ip), pulse-on time (Ton), pulse-off time (Toff) and servo voltage (SV) have been investigated and modeled for...

Load balance mechanism does the vital role in high performance computing (HPC) and energy efficient computing (EEC). An effective load balance mechanism achieves high performance resource management. Several load management platform (e.g. Openstack, Nebula and Eucaluptus) available to simulate/perform status of algorithm. Load balance manager should be able to customize the resource management ...
