Sinus venosus atrial septal defect (ASD) is usually associated with partial anomalous pulmonary venous return (PAPVR) of the right pulmonary veins to the superior vena cava (SVC), or to the SVC-right atrial junction. Standard procedure for repair of this defect is a patch roofing of the sinus venosus ASD and rerouting of pulmonary veins. However, the presence of SVC stenosis is a complication o...

Received Jan 18, 2017 Revised Mar 18, 2017 Accepted Apr 2, 2017 In recent years, applications of facts systems have been developed for the compensation of active and reactive power. Facts systems are electronics devices that are connected to the wind farm. This paper presents the impacts of some of these devices on the stability of a wind farm, especially D-STATCOM, Static Var Compensator and F...

This paper proposes Bacteria Foraging Optimization Algorithm (BFOA) based Static Var Compensator (SVC) for the suppression of oscillations in a multimachine power system. The proposed design problem of SVC over a wide range of loading conditions is formulated as an optimization problem with an eigenvalue based objective function. BFOA is employed to search for optimal controller parameters. The...

Compared with the scalable parts of previous video coding specifications, the Scalable Video Coding (SVC) extension of H.264 Advanced Video Coding (AVC) standard (short for H.264/SVC) has demonstrated significant improvement of video compression performance. In this paper, different coding methods for scalability are analyzed and their influence on the performance of H.264/SVC is investigated t...

Interposition with a vascular prosthesis or patch closure using autologous pericardium has been applied for superior vena cava (SVC) reconstruction during surgery for thoracic malignancies such as thymic epithelial tumors or lymphadenopathy that invade the SVC. We herein report a novel and simple method for repair of the SVC using a left brachiocephalic vein flap. This procedure is useful to re...

OBJECTIVES To document the incidence, timing, degree, and associations of systemic hypoperfusion in the preterm infant and to explore the temporal relation between low systemic blood flow and the development of intraventricular haemorrhage (IVH). STUDY DESIGN 126 babies born before 30 weeks' gestation (mean 27 weeks, mean body weight 991 g) were studied with Doppler echocardiography and cereb...

Introduction. For patients with terminal heart failure, heart transplantation (HTX) has become an established therapy. Before transplantation there are many repeated measurements with a pulmonary artery catheter (PAC) via the superior vena cava (SVC) necessary. After transplantation, endomyocardial biopsy (EMB) is recommended for routine surveillance of heart transplant rejection again through ...

This paper presents a laboratory model for a shunt static var compensator (SVC). Such shunt static var compensator (SVC) is useful in the control of power distribution feeders. The type of the SVC considered in this investigation is the famous thyristor-controlled reactor (TCR) configuration. LABVIEW software has been used as a practical platform to control the operation of the SVC thyristors. ...
