background previous studies using cell culture systems for the replication of hepatitis c virus have opened new research dimensions, and paved the ways for further and detailed studies of the virus in vitro. objectives the purpose of the present study was to cultivate hepatitis c virus in a cell culture system and evaluate viral amplification. materials and methods in order to propagate hepatit...

A new shaped circularly polarized dielectric resonator antenna (CP DRA) is studied with branch-line coupler and log-periodic balun for the GPS application. Since the coupler and balun are located under the DRA, it does not increase the footprint of the antenna, as a result the system is very compact. Two configurations are considered in this paper. In the first configuration, an external 50Ω lo...

In IEEE 802.11 networks composed by multiple APs, before a station can access the network it needs to make a decision about which AP to associate with. Usually, legacy 802.11 stations use no more than the signal strength of the frames received from each AP to support their decision. This can lead to an unbalanced distribution of stations among the APs, causing performance and unfairness problem...

This paper will discuss and demonstrate how Static Var Compensator (SVC) component and how will be these components successfully applied to control reactive power in the transmission line for system disturbance and effectively regulate system voltage. SVC is basically a shunt connected static var generator whose output is adjusted to exchange capacitive or inductive current so as to maintain or...

Load balancing algorithms improve a program's performance on unbalanced datasets, but can degrade performance on balanced datasets, because unnecessary load redistributions occur. This paper presents a cost-eeective data-parallel load balancing algorithm which performs load redistributions only when the possible savings outweigh the redistribution costs. Experiments with a data-parallel polygon...

This paper presents novel corrective control actions to alleviate overloads in transmission lines by the Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) method. Generator rescheduling and/or load shedding is performed locally, to restore the system from abnormal to normal operating state. The appropriate identification of generators and load buses to perform the corrective control action is an important task...

This paper is concerned with modeling and analysis of an interconnected electric power system for frequency ranges in which phasor dynamics of transmission lines and loads may be important to include. In most studies, only phasor dynamics of generators are taken into account. Dynamics of all other system components (transmission lines, loads, and generator stator windings) are assumed stable an...
