This paper presents an analysis of the value that can be realized by medium-voltage back-to-back (MVB2B) converters in terms increased utilization rate distributed energy resources (DERs) and improvement operational conditions. A systematic, transferrable, scalable methodology has been designed to analyze quantify DER from three perspectives: 1) curtailment reduction generation, 2) size storage...

This paper analyzes the “back-doored” phishing kits distributed by the infamous Mr-Brain hacking group of Morocco. These phishing kits allow an additional tier of cyber criminals to access the credentials of Internet victims. Several drop email obfuscation methods used by the hacking group are also discussed.

Tswefap is a grassfields Bantu (Bamileke) language spoken in Batoufam, Cameroon. This paper is part of a series of descriptive and theoretical analyses of Tswefap undertaken for a fieldwork methodology seminar. The focus for this paper is to identify the place of articulation of back consonants in Tswefap using ultrasound imaging and SSANOVA. Data for this analysis were collected in an urban se...

BACKGROUND Back pain is a common problem for which cyclobenzaprine hydrochloride is frequently prescribed. OBJECTIVE To perform a systematic review of cyclobenzaprine's effectiveness in the treatment of back pain. METHODS We searched MEDLINE, PsycLIT, CINAHL, EMBASE, AIDSLINE, HEALTHSTAR, CANCERLIT, the Cochrane Library, Micromedex, Federal Research in Progress, and the references of review...

This paper describes application of information granulation theory, on the back analysis of Jeffrey mine southeast wall Quebec. In this manner, using a combining of Self Organizing Map (SOM) and rough set theory (RST), crisp and rough granules are obtained. Balancing of crisp granules and sub rough granules is rendered in close-open iteration. Combining of hard and soft computing, namely finite...

the design of appropriate, cost-effective remedial measures requires a clear understanding of the processes that are causing the landslide. this understanding require a detailed site investigation, a reconnaissance of the landslide as soon as possible after it's occurrence can allow important observations of the processes involved. a key step in analyses of soil slope stability is measurin...

Epidemiological studies have shown that lower back pain from golf represent 25% of all golf related injuries. A review of the literature shows that the etiology is pluri-factorial, with general and specific risk factors. For the average players and the elite players, the mechanical loadings on the lumbar spine must be analyzed during all the golf swing. The specific risk factors, as range of mo...

pulsed current plasma arc welding (pcpaw) is one of the most widely used welding processes in sheet metal manufacturing industry. in any fusion arc welding process, the weld bead geometry plays an important role in determining the mechanical properties of the weld and hence quality of the weld.  moreover, the geometry of weld bead involves several simultaneously multiple quality characteristics...
