Investigation of LC-Resonance Driving in Disconnector Bus-Transfer Testing
The ability to transfer load currents between parallel busbars is one of the main requirements for most disconnector switches in gas insulated as well as air insulated substations today. As such, the capability limits and testing methods are internationally standardized in IEC 62271-102. The test circuit dictated in this standard is the Thévenin equivalent of the high current, power frequency a...
متن کاملRNA driving the epigenetic bus.
For many years, it has been assumed that mammalian development is primarily controlled by transcription factors, but recent studies, including that reported by Ng et al (2012) in this issue, indicate that there is an additional massive hidden layer of regulatory RNAs that control the site specificity of chromatin-modifying complexes and other regulatory proteins involved in the control of embry...
متن کاملA Simple Assay Method for Melanosome Transfer
Pigmentation is induced by production of melanin in specialized organelles termed melanosomes and by transfer of these organelles from melanocytes to surrounding keratinocytes. The chemical basis of melanogenesis is relatively well known but the mechanism of melanosome transfer is not well studied. Various pigmentary disorders and cosmetic applications require the use of depigmenting agents. Cu...
متن کاملWhos In the Picture
The context in which a name appears in a caption provides powerful cues as to who is depicted in the associated image. We obtain 44,773 face images, using a face detector, from approximately half a million captioned news images and automatically link names, obtained using a named entity recognizer, with these faces. A simple clustering method can produce fair results. We improve these results s...
متن کاملTPC2 controls pigmentation by regulating melanosome pH and size.
Melanin is responsible for pigmentation of skin and hair and is synthesized in a specialized organelle, the melanosome, in melanocytes. A genome-wide association study revealed that the two pore segment channel 2 (TPCN2) gene is strongly linked to pigmentation variations. TPCN2 encodes the two-pore channel 2 (TPC2) protein, a cation channel. Nevertheless, how TPC2 regulates pigmentation remains...
