An irregular activity on electric power distribution feeder, which does not draw adequate fault current to be detected by general protective devices, is called as High impedance fault (HIF). This paper presents the algorithm for HIF detection based on the amplitude of third and fifth harmonics of current, voltage and power. This paper proposes an intelligent algorithm using the Takagi SugenoKan...

The Inter feeder Power Flow Regulator (IFPFR) proposed in this paper consists of several voltage source inverters with common dc bus; each inverter is connected in series with one of different independent distribution feeders in the power system. This paper is concerned with how to transfer power between the feeders for load sharing purpose. The power controller of each inverter injects the pow...

The objective of this study was to evaluate a mobile computerized grain feeder for use to feed individually Holstein cows grazing grass pasture. Thirty-two Holstein cows averaging 95 d of lactation and 39.3 kg/d of milk were rotationally grazed on predominantly Dactylis glomerata pastures for 9 wk starting in early May. Cows were blocked according to parity, days of lactation, and milk yield. C...

Three experiments were conducted to determine the effects of feeder adjustment and diet form on growth performance of nursery (Exp. 1 and 2) and finishing (Exp. 3) pigs. Treatments were arranged as a 2 × 3 factorial with the main effects of feeder adjustment and diet form. The 2 feeder adjustments were a narrow and wide feeder adjustment (minimum gap opening of 1.27 and 2.54 cm, respectively). ...

Unexpected natural disasters or physical attacks can have various consequences, including extensive and prolonged blackouts on power systems. Energy systems should be resistant to unwanted events, their performance is not easily affected by such conditions. The system also sufficient flexibility adapt severe disturbances without losing its full version; it restore itself immediately after resol...

Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANETs) are receiving a significant interest and are becoming very popular in the world of wireless networks and telecommunication. MANETs consist of mobile nodes which can communicate with each other without any infrastructure or centralized administration. In MANETs, the movement of nodes is unpredictable and complex; thus making the routing of the packets challenging....

the inventory routing problem (irp) arises in the context of vendor-managed systems. this problem addresses jointly solving an inventory management problem and a vehicle routing problem. in this paper, we consider a multi-depot multi-vehicle inventory routing problem in which suppliers produce one type of product to be delivered to customers during a finite time horizon. we propose a two-phase ...

Platelet activity usually inversely correlates with serum albumin levels (e.g., in course of remission or relapse), and it is potentially reversible by adding albumin in vitro or following albumin infusions. Furthermore, many other important hemostatic proteins of similar size are also pathologically excreted in the urine. The loss of antithrombotic factors in the urine is counterbalanced by an...

There are some records of early attempts to maintain BF Trypanosoma brucei in vitro [1, 2], but short-term propagation, in the presence of feeder cells (L-cells), was not achieved until 1967 [3]. Continuous propagation was not reported until 1977, when the Lister 427 strain (clone 052 from GAMC) was successfully propagated in RPMI 1640 medium with 25 mM HEPES and 20% heatinactivated FBS, in the...

This paper mainly deals the impact of relays on feeder protection also different factors used to control the active power, reactive power, power reversals, fault current magnitude and balancing condition of power system to protect the distribution system. when Distributed Generation sources are integrated in to the grid above all problems are occurs along with the feeder voltage regulation and ...
