The transition to the new generation power grid, or “smart grid”, requires novel ways of using and analyzing data collected from the grid infrastructure. Fundamental functionalities like demand response (DR), that the smart grid needs, rely heavily on the ability of the energy providers and distributors to forecast the load behavior of appliances under different DR strategies. This paper presen...

parallel hypodermic-tubing probes extending from a small sensor body (Fig. 1). Hereafter, probe will be used Dual-probe heat-capacity (DPHC) sensors can be used to measure to describe the hypodermic tubing components while soil heat capacity (C ), water content, and temperature. Research sensor will refer to the entire assembly. One probe conwas conducted to test design factors that affect sens...

A method for the determination of serum glucoseemployinga heat clot technic for the elimination of protein and other interfering substances is described. Serum (0.10 ml.) and absolute methyl alcohol (0.09 ml. delivered as six drops) are mixed in a shell vial and a clot is formed by immersionof the vial in a 60#{176} water bath for 4 mm. The clot is overlaid with 2.0 ml. of water and the contain...

the goal of this study was to compare the effect of heater probe thermocoagulation for massive bleeding of peptic ulcers with a control group. between march 1992 and august 1995 we used heater probe thermocoagulation endoscopically to treat 42 patients with active ugl bleeding or nonbleeding visible vessels at the base of ulcer craters within 2-3 hours of admission. we also selected 42 patients...

This study selects titanium dioxide (TiO2) and multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) as far-infrared materials (FIRMs), further adds water-based acrylic coatings to prepare (FIRCs). FIRCs are uniformly coated on #304 stainless steel sheets make the test samples, which then installed between shell insulation material of hot water heater measure influences various performance heater. The researc...
