Teed lines are widely used in rural power networks in China. The paper theoretically analyzes the voltages and currents when a single line-to-ground fault occurs, constructs a new mathematical model for fault location on the teed lines, performs corresponding MATLAB simulations. Simulation results show that currents near the source (bus M) are almost independent of fault positions and fault res...

The minimum resistance of expiratory Heidbrink-type value has been assessed by determining the pressure decrease across the values at a flow rate of 30 litre min--1. The average resistance of 70 valves currently in clinical use was 318 Pa at that flow rate and about 44% had resistances greater than the limit of 294 Pa previously suggested. The resistances obtained in new valves were either simi...

In this paper substrate network resistances are analyzed and extracted for multi-finger MOS transistors used in RF applications. The commonly used model for MOS transistors in RF applications mainly consists of a substrate resistance network having three resistors. A typical horse-shoe CMOS transistor laid out and all substrate resistances are extracted from I-V characteristics. Device and proc...

OBJECTIVES MRSA is a major antimicrobial resistance (AMR) pathogen. The reservoir of infecting isolates is colonization, which is the site of evolutionary selection. The aim was to identify if AMRs in colonizing MRSA populations diversified and potential mechanisms of resistance gene transfer in vivo. METHODS Nasal swabs from 38 MRSA carriers admitted to hospital were plated and 20 individual...

One of the main problems for effective treatment of cancer is resistances, which often require combination therapy-for effective treatment. While there are already some potential drug carriers-e.g., liposomes, available for treatment-the effective loading and retention of the desired drug ratio can be challenging. To address this challenge, we propose a new type of drug carrier: liposome-coated...
