Adaptive response is a topic of general interest in medical research. Utilization of adaptive response has become a new treatment strategy for some diseases, the core of which is to stimulate the mechanisms of body internal protection, to improve the adaptive and anti-injury capability, and to maintain the homeostasis of the body. The existence of adaptive response indicates that the body inter...

This paper presents the application of neural networks for the non-differential protection of salient-pole synchronous generator against internal faults in any winding of the stator. The direct phase quantities and modified winding function approach has been used to simulate different types of internal and external faults using electrical parameters of generators installed by utilities. The cas...

There has been a considerable accumulation of usage of voxel models for internal radiation dosimetry (Xu & Eckerman, 2009 ; Zaidi & Tsui, 2009). The human voxel models of the Reference Male and Reference Female have been introduced and used to evaluate the energy deposition in organs resulting from internal radiation exposures by the International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) (I...

AIM The objective of this study was to compare the periprocedural and clinical outcomes after carotid artery stenting (CAS) with proximal protection devices versus with distal protection devices. MATERIAL AND METHODS Patients with internal carotid artery (ICA) stenosis undergoing CAS with cerebral embolic protection were randomly assigned to proximal balloon occlusion or distal filter protect...

For three fundamental input-protection schemes suitable for high-frequency CMOS ICs, which utilize protection devices such as NMOS transistors, thyristors, and diodes, we attempt an in-depth comparison on HBM ESD robustness in terms of lattice heating inside protection devices and peak voltages developed across gate oxides in input buffers, based on DC, mixed-mode transient, and AC analyses uti...

For High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) applications, the control and protection system plays an essential role in the overall performance of the transmission system. The control and protection system adopted by ABB Power Systems uses the latest technology from the fields of electronics and microprocessors. The main objective of this paper is to describe the experience from using the MACHTM (Mod...

Percutaneous transluminal angioplasty with stenting (PTA/stenting) for intracranial atherosclerotic stenoses is usually performed without any protection devices. We report a unique case of atherothrombotic stenosis with the vulnerable plaque in the cavernous portion of the internal carotid artery (ICA), which was successfully treated by PTA/stenting under cerebral protection with the flow rever...

Objective: A case of symptomatic cervical carotid artery stenosis with persistent primitive hypoglossal artery (PPHA) treated by carotid artery stenting (CAS) with appropriate embolic protection is reported. Case Presentation: The patient was a 65-year-old male presenting with left hemiplegia. MRI revealed infarction in the right cerebral hemisphere, and cerebral angiography demonstrated stenos...

For the current transformers (CTs) on the delta side measure the line current instead of the phase current, line current differential protection is adopted in transformers connected in wye-delta mode currently. However, the symmetry feature of inrush current in line current differential protection may invalidate the inrush current restrained criterion. A calculating method of current through de...

This article provides a description of protection based on the transformer model. The described by authors does not require calculations and depend operating mode power system. sensitivity ensures detection internal coil short circuits in case transformer. compares proposed algorithm with an improved version differential protection, which is capable fixing most
