In this paper we analyze ternary bicooperative games, which are a refinement of the concept of a ternary voting game introduced by Felsenthal and Machover. Furthermore, majority voting rules based on the difference of votes are simple bicooperative games. First, we define the concepts of the defender and detractor swings for a player. Next, we introduce the Banzhaf power index and the normalize...

The purpose of this case series was to test the effectiveness of an active warm-up for recreational golfers using a whole-body vibration (WBV) platform. The variables that the warm-up tested for were increased flexibility, power, and golf performance. Ten adult men (age: 45 ± 15 yr) volunteered to perform their personal warm-up and record 7 of their golf swings. They then participated in an act...

Oscillations of power systems cause instability in power networks. Power system stabilizer (PSS) is used as a conventional method to damp these oscillations . Finding the optimized gain of PSS is one of the major problems in power system stability issue. In this paper, single machine connected to an infinite bus and 10-machines 39-bus network are considered for study. it's shown that finding th...

BACKGROUND/AIMS Temperament and mood swings are promising indicators for the characterization of mood spectrum vulnerability. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between affective temperament and mood swings in bipolar disorder. We explored these clinical features retrospectively. METHODS Patients who met the criteria for bipolar I disorder were enrolled in the study. Ex...

Here in this paper we proposed an improved technique to reduce the power quality problems in Long distance AC transmission system with fuzzy logic controller (FLC). Large power systems are often suffered from weakly damped swings between synchronous generators. This paper aims to enhance the transient stability of the power system with the use of Distributed Static Series Compensator (DSSC).The...
