We study Maker/Breaker games on the edges of the complete graph, as introduced by Chvátal and Erdős. We show that in the (m : b) clique game played on KN , the complete graph on N vertices, Maker can achieve a Kq for q = ( m log 2 (b+1) − o(1) ) · logN , which partially solves an open problem by Beck. Moreover, we show that in the (1:1) clique game played on KN for a sufficiently large N , Make...

Redesign of traditional relays with microcontroller-based relays can be used to achieve a higher level of reliability. In this study, the results of redesign and prototyping of a synchrocheck relay using an 8952 microcontroller with improved reliability is discussed. These relays are usually used for paralleling two load-generation islands, or for closing an open loop in an electric power syste...

This paper deals with the power flow modulation and control using the various power system. In this paper the efficient usage of power produced is defined. The battery management system is introduced in order to store the excess power produced and use that power in case of power deficiency. The battery management is controlled using the fuzzy logic controller which is one of the intelligent con...

annular pancreas is a rare congenital condition of the pancreas where the pancreatic tissue either partially or completely covers the duodenum by forming a ring. endoscopic ultrasound is rarely considered as the first diagnosis tool for annular pancreas. we here present a 48 years old man who was primarily provisionally diagnosed with pancreatic mass and was planned for pancreatoduodenectomy. b...

the brass tubes with foam cores of alsi7sic3, alsi7sic3fe1 and alsi7sic3fe3 were produced as the crush-boxes with circle and square cross-section. then axial compressive behavior and energy absorption capability of the foam-filled tubes were investigated during the quasi-static progressive plastic buckling. the uniaxial compressive stress–strain curves of the foam-filled brass tubes exhibited t...

  Using small groups in teaching and learning has a long history. Evidence suggests that by applying some defined guidelines, it would be possible to reinforce the effectiveness of the small groups teaching. One of these guidelines is related to ice-breaker activities which would be applied by the facilitators at the start of the session, which are noticeably significant. The aim of the presen...

We study Maker/Breaker games on the edges of the complete graph, as introduced by Chvátal and Erdős. We show that in the (m : b) game played on KN , the complete graph on N vertices, Maker can achieve a Kq for q = ( m log 2 (b+1) − o(1) ) · log2 N , which partially solves an open problem by Beck. Moreover, we show that in the (1 : 1) game played on KN for a sufficiently large N , Maker can achi...

Circuit breakers can fail to interrupt fault current when the power system has transient recovery voltage (TRV) characteristics that exceed the rating of the circuit breaker. There were two incidents of failures of outdoor switchgear at a power plant substation. The cause of the failure for these breakers was investigated in order to determine if transient recovery voltage is a contributing fac...

Hyperpolarization-activated cyclic nucleotide-gated (HCN) channels regulate neuronal excitability, pacemaking, dendritic integration, and homeostatic plasticity and are culprits in aberrant neuronal activity in certain epilepsies. In this issue of Neuron two manuscripts (Santoro et al. and Zolles et al.) report that HCN channel gating and expression are controlled by Trip8b (Pex5R) but with a b...
