this paper describes how multi-agent system technology can be used as the underpinning platform for voltage control in power systems. in this study, some facts (flexible ac transmission systems) devices are properly designed to coordinate their decisions and actions in order to provide a coordinated secondary voltage control mechanism based on multi-agent theory. each device here is modeled as ...

background: streptokinase is a potent activator of plasminogen to plasmin, the enzyme that can solubilize the fibrin network in blood clots. streptokinase is currently used in clinical medicine as a thrombolytic agent. it is naturally secreted by β-hemolytic streptococci. methods: to reach an efficient method of purification, an immunoaffinity chromatography method was developed that could puri...
