the radiation power loss from a magnetically confined plasma in a stellarator has been calculated using neoclassical particle and energy fluxes in an energy balance equation. we could obtain a power loss of about 34% of the total input power by numerical calculation. this fraction of the power loss has been found to be in good agreement with the experimentally measured values of 30-40% for our ...

We hypothesized that activation of the coagulation cascade is involved in arterial remodeling in response to sequential injury. An active site-inhibited recombinant human factor VIIa (FVIIai) was used to inhibit tissue factor, the primary cofactor in the extrinsic pathway of coagulation, in a sequential balloon injury model of the rabbit abdominal aorta. Single balloon injury produced limited i...

This paper presents low-power characteristics of adiabatic complementary pass-transistor logic (ACPL) using four-phase AC power supply. Adiabatic CPL circuits consist of pure NMOS transistors, use CPL blocks for evaluation and bootstrapped NMOS switches to eliminate non-adiabatic loss of output loads. In this paper, combinational circuit (4-bit ripple carry adder) and sequential circuit (4-bit ...

When it is not possible to obtain the analytical null distribution of a test statistic U , Monte Carlo hypothesis tests can be used to perform the test. Monte Carlo tests are commonly used in a wide variety of applications, including spatial statistics, and biostatistics. Conventional Monte Carlo tests require the simulation of m independent copies from U under the null hypothesis, what is comp...

this paper presents a probabilistic confidence-interval based method for optimal placement of shunt capacitors in distribution networks by considering probabilistic characteristics of loads. the main objective function are reducing loss and improving the voltage profile. backward forward sweep method has been employed to obtain the power flow results in distribution system. in addition, integer...

the sunn pest, eurygaster integriceps put. is an important pest of wheat in firozabad region of ardabil province, iran. in this study the spatial distribution of overwintered adult was investigated in rainfed wheat fields. then, fixed precision sequential sampling plan was developed and validated for estimating overwintered adult density. iwao's patchiness regression gave a better fit to d...

Bulk electric system reliability analysis is an important activity in both vertically integrated and unbundled electric power utilities. Competition and uncertainty in the new deregulated electric utility industry are serious concerns. New planning criteria with broader engineering consideration of transmission access and consistent risk assessment must be explicitly addressed. Modern developme...
