this with the integration of distributed generation (dg) to meshed distribution systems, the operating time of the protective system becomes a major concern in order to avoid nuisance dg tripping. this paper proposes a new tripping characteristic for directional overcurrent relays (docrs) that can achieve a higher possible reduction of overall relays operating time in meshed distribution networ...

objective(s) as there are conflicting findings regarding the clearance-dose and patient characteristics relationships for valproic acid (vpa), this study was conducted to investigate the relationship between patient demographic characteristics, vpa dosage and the drug clearance in adult iranian patients. materials and methods patients (n= 47) were either on monotherapy with vpa or were under co...

Let $K$ be a field of characteristic$p>0$, $K[[x]]$, the ring of formal power series over $ K$,$K((x))$, the quotient field of $ K[[x]]$, and $ K(x)$ the fieldof rational functions over $K$. We shall give somecharacterizations of an algebraic function $fin K((x))$ over $K$.Let $L$ be a field of characteristic zero. The power series $finL[[x]]$ is called differentially algebraic, if it satisfies...

In this paper, some results of Singh, Gopalakrishna and Kulkarni (1970s) have been extended to higher order derivatives. It has been shown that, if $sumlimits_{a}Theta(a, f)=2$ holds for a meromorphic function $f(z)$ of finite order, then for any positive integer $k,$ $T(r, f)sim T(r, f^{(k)}), rrightarrowinfty$ if $Theta(infty, f)=1$ and $T(r, f)sim (k+1)T(r, f^{(k)}), rrightarrowinfty$ if $Th...

OBJECTIVE To examine the reliability and validity of the self-report Korean version of Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ-Kr) in the community sample. METHODS The SDQ-Kr was administered to a large sample of school children and adolescents (n=2814) and youth attendees of a psychiatric clinic (n=385) aged 11-16 years. To examine temporal stability, the same questionnaire was adminis...

The detection and analysis of cases of low medication adherence is important for helping to control tuberculosis (TB). The purpose of this study was to detect low adherence in rural TB patients by using the eight-item Morisky Medication Adherence Scale of Chinese version (C-MMAS-8) and to further analyze the adherence-related variables. A total of 358 rural TB patients recruited through multi-s...

Let k be a field of characteristic two. We prove that monic polynomial f∈k[X] degree n≥1 is the minimal/characteristic symmetric matrix with entries in if and only it not product pairwise distinct inseparable irreducible polynomials. In this case, we f minimal size n. also any element α∈kalg eigenvalue n or n+1, first case happening α separable.
