Abstract: Voltage sag is considered to be the most serious problem of power quality. It is caused by faults in the power system or by the starting of large induction motors. Voltage sag causes about 80% of the power quality problems in power systems. One of the main reasons for voltage sag is short circuit fault, which can be compensated for by a distribution static compensator (DSTATCOM) as an...

Superantigens (SAGs) activate T cells by simultaneously binding the Vbeta domain of the TCR and MHC class II molecules on antigen-presenting cells. The preferential expression of certain Valpha regions among SAG-reactive T cells has suggested that the TCR alpha chain may modulate the level of activation through an interaction with MHC. We demonstrate that the TCR alpha chain is required for max...

The present literature review explores the energy-efficient ultrafine grinding of particles using stirred mills. provides an overview different techniques for size reduction and impact energy requirements on choice It also discusses factors, including design, operating parameters, feed material properties, influencing performance. concludes that mills have significant potential achieving partic...

Evaporators are core units in many industrial processes including sugar mills. The dynamics of these systems are complex and hence the systems have been frequently used to demonstrate unusual systems and control behaviour. In this paper we explore a particular control architecture commonly employed in industry. We show that the architecture can lead to poor performance due to steam and concentr...

The Commentary of Mills and Sykes in Science Translational Medicine presented their thesis on the advent of high-throughput technologies and the dangers they may represent for the future of biomedical research. In response, we argue that true progress on the diagnosis and treatment of common human diseases will require the advent of big biology and its deep integration with focused research as ...

The most important and time consuming part of an industrial application of control is the modelling. It may take 50 per cent or more of the entire project. Therefore a major challenge for a control systems supplier like ABB is to constantly try to decrease the engineering effort for modelling. This paper discusses some different aspects of modelling and identification originating from applicati...

Surgical robotics is an evolving field with great advances having been made over the last decade. The origin of robotics was in the science-fiction literature and from there industrial applications, and more recently commercially available, surgical robotic devices have been realized. In this review, we examine the field of robotics from its roots in literature to its development for clinical s...

The disposal of industrial wastes is a problem of increasing importance throughout the world. Sludge from paper mills are produced in large quantities in most industrial nations of the world today due to the large usage of paper, constitute one of our most serious environmental problems. Paper mill sludge has substantially little usage as a material that can be employed in other industrial appl...

BACKGROUND Resistance emergence against antileishmanial drugs, particularly Sodium Antimony Gluconate (SAG) has severely hampered the therapeutic strategy against visceral leishmaniasis, the mechanism of resistance being indistinguishable. Cysteine leucine rich protein (CLrP), was recognized as one of the overexpressed proteins in resistant isolates, as observed in differential proteomics betwe...

Introduction The pulp and paper industry is the second largest industrial water consumer in Europe with a usage of 35 m3/ton paper and a production of 85.2 M tons/year. Its effluents cause considerable damage to the receiving waters if discharged untreated since they have a high biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), chemical oxygen demand (COD) and contain chlorinated compounds, suspended solids (ma...
