In this paper, we present a new method to determine the optimal location and parameter settings of UnifiedPower Flow Controller (UPFC) for removing voltage violations and transmission lines overloading. UPFC isconsidered as the most powerful member of the FACTS devices, that it can control shunt and series power flow.This option gives to UPFC the power to control the voltage profile and transmi...

Objective(s):Berberine, a naturally occurring isoquinoline alkaloid, has shown antitumor properties in some in vitro systems. But the effect of berberine on breast cancer has not yet been completely studied. In this study, we evaluated anticancer properties of berberine in comparison to doxorubicin. Materials and Methods: The antiproliferative effects of berberine and doxorubicin alone and in ...

In this paper a general formulation for finding the maximum allowable dynamic load (MADL) of flexible link mobile manipulators is presented. The main constraints used for the algorithm presented are the actuator torque capacity and the limited error bound for the end-effector during motion on the given trajectory. The precision constraint is taken into account with two boundary lines in plane w...

This article provides a starting point for developing methodology to successfully implement Industry 4.0 technology assembly operations. It presents novel multi-layer human-centred conceptual model in line with Lean philosophy which identifies the operator functions and relates them other production departments, identifying how they would be affected by incorporating new digital technologies. T...

A new series of anthranilamide derivatives were synthesized and evaluated for their antiproliferative activities against human colon carcinoma cell lines (HCT 116) and human breast adenocarcinoma cell lines (MDA-MB-231) in vitro. The bioassay results indicated that compounds 7a-7d, 11a, and 11b with flexible linkers showed promising antiproliferative activity against both cell lines. Among the ...
