A Novel Passive Method for Islanding Detection in Microgrids
Integration of distributed generations (DGs) in power grids is expected to play an essential role in the infrastructure and market of electrical power systems. Microgrids are small energy systems, capable of balancing captive supply and requesting resources to retain stable service within a specific boundary. Microgrids can operate in grid-connected or islanding modes. Effective islanding detec...
متن کاملDETECTION OF HAEMOPHILUS INFLUENZAE TYPE B IN CEREBROSPINAL FLUID OF SUSPECTED CHILDREN WITH MENINGITIS BYPCR
ABSTRACT Background: A polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay with primers from "hpd" gene was compared with culture for the detection of Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib) in CSF samples from children suspected of meningitis. Methods: 300 cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) samples from suspected meningitis cases were studied by culture (Leventhal & Chocolate Agar) and PCR. Results: The latter...
متن کاملCerebrospinal Fluid Dissemination and Neoplastic Meningitis in Primary Brain Tumors.
BACKGROUND Neoplastic meningitis, also known as leptomeningeal disease, affects the entire neuraxis. The clinical manifestations of the disease may affect the cranial nerves, cerebral hemispheres, or the spine. Because of the extent of disease involvement, treatment options and disease staging should involve all compartments of the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and subarachnoid space. Few studies o...
متن کاملCefoxitin concentrations in the cerebrospinal fluids of patients with meningitis.
The concentrations of cefoxitin in serum and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) were measured simultaneously in three groups of patients, 12 with aseptic meningitis (group 1) and 17 and 14 with bacterial meningitis (groups 2 and 3). The patients in group 1 received a single intravenous dose of 2 g of cefoxitin without other antimicrobial therapy. In addition to conventional doses of ampicillin or benzyl...
متن کاملSensitivity of a radioimmunoassay method for detection of certain viral antibodies in sera and cerebrospinal fluids.
An indirect solid-phase radioimmunoassay (RIA) was applied to titration of serum and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) antibodies against a variety of viruses including rubella, mumps, measles, herpes simplex, varicella-zoster, and vaccinia. The test used fixed, virus-infected cells as a source of antigen, and conditions for optimal production of viral antigen were determined for each virus-host cell s...
