Recently, a lot of renewable energy sources have been integrated into the distribution network. In consideration economy and construction feasibility, some are required to be installed in specific areas. this paper, bi-layer network planning optimization model that considers geographical restrictions installation locations substation, pumped storage plant, photovoltaic (PV) wind power, as well ...

The present research investigates the torsional aeroelasticity of the blade of an H-type vertical axis wind turbine subject to stall and post-stall conditions in various Reynolds regimes, which is experienced by the blade in a full revolution. In order to simulate the aerodynamics, a new model based on a combination of the Double Multi Streamtubes (DMST) model and the nonlinear multi-criteria C...

The Degree-Constrained Minimum Spanning Tree (dMST) problem attempts to find a minimum spanning tree with an added constraint that no nodes in the tree have a degree larger than a specified integer d. It is known that computing the d-MST is NP-hard for every d in the range 2 ≤ d ≤ (n − 2), where n denotes the total number of nodes. Several approximate algorithms (heuristics) have been proposed ...

Abstract This study aimed to investigate microwave-assisted extraction (MAE) of dried ginger and develop a rice-based edible film incorporating extract. The optimal MAE conditions 400 W microwave power an time 1 min were determined using 3 2 full factorial design. optimized extract showed total phenolic compounds (TPC, 198.2 ± 0.7 mg gallic acid equivalent/g), antioxidant activity measured by D...

A MATLAB routine, based on a Double Multiple Stream Tube model, developed to quickly predict the performance of cross-flow hydrokinetic turbine, here is presented. The routine evaluate flow data obtained with open-source marine circulation code SHYFEM. tool can establish best locations place tidal devices taking into account bathymetric constraints and potential. Hence, it be used decide set ge...

In recent years, there has been a growing interest in sustainable agricultural production, aimed at cleaner with less soil degradation, pollution control and greater social responsibility. this sense, the objective of present study was to evaluate biometry productivity different cultivars pumpkins (Cucurbita moschata) cultivated managements. The experiment carried out an area located municipali...

Actinobacteria produce a broad spectrum of bioactive substances that are used in the pharmaceutical, agricultural, and biotechnology industries. This study investigates production Streptomyces, isolated from soil under five tropical plants, focusing on their potential as natural antibacterial dyes for silk fabrics. Out 194 isolates, 44 produced pigments broken rice solid substrate culture. Eigh...

Abstract—The bioactivity studies from the weed ethanolic crude extracts from leaf, stem, pod and root of wild spider flower; Cleoma viscosa Linn. were analyzed for the growth inhibition of 6 bacterial species; Salmonella typhimurium TISTR 5562, Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC 27853, Staphylococcus aureus TISTR 1466, Streptococcus epidermidis ATCC 1228, Escherichia coli DMST 4212 and Bacillus subtil...

Few studies to date have investigated the background network in the cognitive state relying on executive function in mild cognitive impairment (MCI) patients. Using the index of degree of centrality (DC), we explored distant synchronization of background network in MCI during a hybrid delayed-match-to-sample task (DMST), which mainly relies on the working memory component of executive function....

Low order models based on the Blade Element Momentum (BEM) theory exhibit modeling issues in performance prediction of Vertical Axis Wind Turbines (VAWT) compared to Computational Fluid Dynamics, despite widespread engineering practice such methods. The present study shows that capability BEM codes applied VAWTs can be greatly improved by implementing a novel three-dimensional set high-order co...
