An optimal cost effective battery management strategy is developed for Microgrid based on a daily tariff from grid side. A Microgrid is an excellent frame work which gives a decentralized scheme to capitalize diverse renewable resources by cutting down power need of a consumer from the utility grid .Firstly, a daily price pattern of a load area is distributed into different regions for an avera...

To understand the degradation processes of organic matter related to sulfate reduction by Sulfate Reduction Bacteria (SRB) in the tidal flat sediments of Hwang-do and Sogeun-ri, Tae-an Peninsula in Chungnam-do, biogeochemical characteristics were analyzed and highlighted using specific microbial biomarkers. The organic geochemical parameters (TOC, δCorg, C/N ratio, long-chain-n-alkane) indicate...

PURPOSE To compare closed intramedullary nailing to open reduction and internal fixation using a fixed angle blade plate for the management of subtrochanteric femoral fractures. METHODS 58 patients were equally randomised to undergo either an intramedullary nailing (IN) or fixed angle blade plating (BP). RESULTS There were no significant differences between the 2 groups with regard to age, ...

background and aims. oral lichen planus (olp) is an immunologic disorder. a large number of studies have reported that lipid rafts have a key role in receptor signaling of lymphocytes. here, we explore the potential of lipid rafts as targets for the development of a new class of agents to down-modulate immune responses and treat autoimmune diseases. materials and methods. the present cross-sect...

ramadan fasting during the month of ramadan is a religious obligation, practiced by millions of people around the world. ramadan fasting is essentially a fundamental change in lifestyle for one lunar month. this type of fasting may have significant effects on lipid profile. although there is no scientific consensus about the effects of fasting on cardiovascular risks such as changes in lipid pr...

sporadic alzheimer’s disease (sad) is a multi-factorial disease caused by genetic, epigenetic, environmental and metabolic factors. current understandings of the possible mechanisms of ad such as inflammation and oxidative stresses in the brain have led us to investigation of potential ad therapeutics. currently herbal medicines with fewer side effects comparing to other chemical medicine are i...

it is not clear what factors determine divergent outcomes of infections caused by h. pylori . in the present study, the protein profiles of different strains of h. pylori, isolated from three groups of patients with ulcerative disease, non-ulcerative gastritis and cancer disease, were analyzed using 1dsds-page. the patterns of different h. pylori strains were highly divergent. about 30.76% (7 b...

introduction: during ramadan, type and amount of energy intake dramatically change in muslims and fasting individuals often reduce the duration and intensity of physical activities or avoid exercise during this month. however, one of the major issues of trainers and athletes is lack of training, which could have adverse effects on some cardiovascular parameters. methods: this research was condu...

background the relationship between biomarkers and imaging features is important because imaging findings can predict molecular features. objectives to investigate the relationship between clinicopathologic and radiologic factors and the immunohistochemical (ihc) profiles associated with breast cancer. patients and methods from december 2004 to september 2013, 200 patients (mean age, 56 years; ...

the characteristic texture of turrón, torrone and nougat was examined. they are typical european confections prepared from almonds, honey, sugars and/or chocolate. three different instrumental tests: puncture, cutting, and texture profile analysis (tpa), were used in this study and samples prepared from three countries (spain, italy, and france), and by six manufacturing companies (two companie...
