Many mice of the inbred strain BALB/cCF have deficient corpus callosum, and a few of them have total absence of this large forebrain commissure. Reciprocal F1 hybrid crosses with the inbred strains A/J, C57BL/6J, and DBA/2J revealed that inheritance of the defect is completely recessive. Reciprocal backcrosses to BALB/cCf revealed that inheritance is not attributable to a single Mendelian locus...

To transposon tag the tomato Dwarf ( D ) gene, a tomato line that carries a T-DNA containing the maize Activator (Ac) transposable element closely linked to 0 was pollinated with a stock homozygous for the d mutation. Hybrid seedlings were screened for dwarf progeny, and three independent dwarf lines were obtained. Two of these lines showed inheritance of a recessive phenotype similar to that c...

ISO MPEG 1/2 and Dolby AC-3 are widely used in the network, wireless, multimedia system and video industry. This dissertation studies the design of audio standards: MPEG-1/2 and AC-3. The perceptual audio coder like MPEG-1/2 and AC-3 can be analyzed through filterbank, psychoacoustic model, stereo matrix, bit allocation/ quantization, and packing block. This dissertation considers the design fo...

The charging infrastructure plays a key role in the healthy and rapid development of the electric vehicle industry. This paper presents an energy management and control system of an electric vehicle charging station. The charging station (CS) is integrated to a grid-connected hybrid power system having a wind turbine maximum power point tracking (MPPT) controlled subsystem, photovoltaic (PV) MP...

One of the primary needs for socio-economic development in any nation in the world is the provision of reliable electricity supply systems. This work is a development of an indigenous technology hybrid Solar -Wind Power system that harnesses the renewable energies in Sun and Wind to generate electricity. Here, electric DC energies produced from photovoltaic and wind turbine systems are transpor...

Recently a logic programming language AC was proposed by Mellarkod et al. (2008) to integrate answer set programming (ASP) and constraint logic programming. In a similar vein, Gebser et al. (2009) proposed a clingcon language integrating ASP and finite domain constraints. A distinguishing feature of these languages is their capacity to allow new efficient inference algorithms that combine tradi...

Flexible ac transmission systems (FACTS) controllers, which can effectively enhance the loadability of the network by controlling the power flows, must be placed optimally due to their high cost. This paper proposes a mixed integer based non-linear programming approach for optimal location of UPFC for system loadability enhancement in competitive electricity markets. The method accounts for ac ...

This paper deals with the control scheme of the hybrid grid which lags in some important areas like smooth and fast power transfer in the grid and stable system operation under various conditions. For reliable operation of hybrid grid, the converter plays a crucial role which necessities an efficient control strategy at converter. Z inverse technique has been proposed at the converter in this p...
