The current importance of energy emphasizes the use of renewable resources (such as wastewater) for electricity generation by microbial fuel cell (MFC). In the present study, the native sulfate-reducing bacterial strain (R.gh 3) was employed simultaneously for sulfurous component removal and bioelectricity generation. In order to enhance the electrical conductivity and provision of a compatible...

due to the increasing interest on renewable sources in recent years, the studies on integration of distributed generation to the power grid have rapidly increased. in order to minimize line losses of power systems, it is crucially important to define the size and location of local generation to be placed. minimizing the losses in the system would bring two types of saving, in real life, one is ...

We present the rags (Reference Architecture for Generation Systems) framework, a specification of an abstract Natural Language Generation (NLG) system architecture to support sharing, re-use, comparison and evaluation of NLG technologies. We argue that the evidence from a survey of actual NLG systems calls for a different emphasis in a reference proposal from that seen in similar initiatives in...

In this paper we present a reference generation model based on Reference Domain Theory which gives a dynamic account of reference. This reference model assumes that each referring act both relies and updates the reference context. We present a formal definition of a reference domain, a generation algorithm and its instantiation in the GIVE challenge.

various forms of capital provide sources in social structure that facilitate social action. the aim of this study was to compare available capitals in different generations of women. questionnaire was completed by 386 women and their mothers (a total of 772 questionnaires). the results indicate that cultural capital of the present generation has increased compared to past generation. social cap...

This paper analyzes the reservation wages of first and second generation migrants. Based on recently collected and rich survey data of a representative inflow sample into unemployment in Germany, we empirically test the hypothesis that reservation wages increase from first to second generation migrants. Two extensions of the basic job search model, namely an unknown wage offer distribution and ...

Electrophysiological studies have investigated the nature of face recognition in a variety of paradigms; some have contrasted famous and novel faces in explicit memory paradigms, others have repeated faces to examine implicit memory/priming. If the general finding that implicit memory can last for up to several months also holds for novel faces, a reliable measure of it could have practical app...

This paper provides a method to directly extractK element, or partial reluctance from the physical meaning of partial reluctance. The approach of directK extraction reveals the locality nature of partial reluctance and explains why inductance effect can be captured by sparseK matrix without knowing the current loop first. We use a 3-D discretization of a magneto-quasi-static integral formulatio...
