beta 1-Adrenergic receptors from turkey erythrocyte membranes have been identified by specific binding of the radiolabeled antagonist (-)-[3H]dihydroalprenolol. These receptors are inactivated by the alkylating agent N-ethylmaleimide when occupied by beta-adrenergic agonists but not when occupied by antagonists or when unoccupied. A time-dependent decrease of the number of receptor sites is obs...

Sarcoidosis is a systemic granulomatous disease that primarily affects the lung and lymphatic systems of the body. Some studies have observed a seasonal clustering of sarcoidosis cases in winter and early spring (1). Seasonal clustering of sarcoidosis was reported in some surveys from both southern and northern hemisphere of the world. The peak of disease onset is March-May in London, March-Apr...

Injection of wind power into an electric grid affects the power quality and reactive power issues at the connected electric network. Power quality problems such as voltage sag are some major concern. In this paper these issues are analyzed. Wind turbine connected to squirrel cage induction generator is modeled using PSCAD simulation software to analyze the said issues where STATCOM is introduce...

Due to environmental conditions, the wind power generation is fluctuating in nature. This affects the electrical network interconnected with these systems. When the wind power generators are connected to the nonlinear loads, there is distortion in the waveform. These distortions should be within limits according to national and international guidelines framed for power quality. This paper prese...

theory, when appropriate allowances are made for the noisy freestream and the nonlinear disturbances not identified by the linear theories. It remains to be determined if the incompatibility of planar boundary-layer instability phenomena with classical linear stability theory is a unique feature of the planar boundary layer or if it is a noisy wind-tunnel characteristic that affects planar boun...

The sources such as wind power and solar power are expected to be promising energy sources when it is connected to the power grid. The wind generators have a significant impact on the power quality, voltage profile and the power flow for customers and electricity suppliers. The power exhausted from above energy sources varies due to environmental conditions. Due to the fluctuation in nature of ...
