As power systems integrate more intermittent renewable generation, and as extreme weather events become more frequent with climate change, power systems are likely to require increasing amounts of spinning reserves in order to maintain reliable operation. While traditionally spinning reserves have been supplied by generators, demand-side resources can also provide reserves by increasing or decr...

The purpose of the present study was to investigate the influence of awareness of the Japanese Food Guide Spinning Top on eating behavior and obesity in Japan. Participants were 1,558 Japanese male and female adults (40.2±12.2 years) who had been registered with a social research company. The cross-sectional questionnaire survey was conducted via the Internet in November 2007. Potential respond...

We investigate the rheological properties of microliter quantities of the spinning material extracted ex vivo from the major ampullate gland of a Nephila clavipes spider using two new micro-rheometric devices. A sliding plate micro-rheometer is employed to measure the steady-state shear viscosity of approximately 1 microl samples of silk dope from individual biological specimens. The steady she...

Using the Teukolsky and Sasaki-Nakamura formalisms for the perterbations around a Kerr black hole, we calculate the energy flux of gravitational waves induced by a spinning particle of mass μ and spin S moving in circular orbits near the equatorial plain of a rotating black hole of mass M( μ) and spin Ma. The calculations are performed by using the recently developed post-Newtonian expansion te...

Non-traumatic exertional rhabdomyolysis (exRML) occurs in individuals with normal muscles when the energy supplied to the muscle is insufficient. Here, we report 11 cases of spinning-induced rhabdomyolysis and review related literature. Spinning is a kind of indoor bicycle sport. The 11 patients who were diagnosed with exRML and admitted to CHA Bundang Medical Center were female and their ages ...

This paper surveys recent progress in fiber spinning technology for reducing polarization mode dispersion with the focus on theoretical understanding of fiber spinning mechanism and features of spun fibers, as well as their applications in fiber spin profiles designs. First, a brief introduction to the requirements of fiber PMD for high-speed optical fiber communications systems is given. Furth...

The Spinning Screen In screen-based experiences, the screen itself can become the physical device used for interaction. The “move-ability” of the screen affords interactivity between the screen artifact and the viewer and between the virtual space and the physical space. As a movable screen interface, I have created the spinning screen, a two-sided monitor mounted on a revolving base. This inte...

a general overview on the prospective of various oxidation and combined processes in the treatment of tannery industry effluent are reported. various oxidation and combined processes such as uv/h2o2/hypochlorites, fenton and electro-oxidation, photo-chemical, photo-catalytic, electro-catalytic oxidation, wet air oxidation, ozonation, biological followed by ozone/uv/ h2o2, coagulation or ele...

This document proposes a definition of spinning reserve. It also compares the amount asked by TSOs in several systems according to this definition. What is spinning reserve?
