The power demand around the world is increasing rapidly. aging distribution network architectures are used by existing utility companies to deliver consumers, which significantly affects reliability, stability and quality of delivered power. Different techniques such as compensation devices have been system engineers researchers maintain transmitted end users. In this paper, wattage volt-amp re...

Members of the Plasmodium falciparum var gene family encode clonally variant adhesins, which play an important role in the pathogenicity of tropical malaria. Here we employ a selective panning protocol to generate isogenic P.falciparum populations with defined adhesive phenotypes for CD36, ICAM-1 and CSA, expressing single and distinct var gene variants. This technique has established the frame...

As variable, non-dispatchable photovoltaic power continues to displace traditional generation assets, additional resources are needed to control bulk and local power systems. One highly versatile option for providing frequency and voltage stability is to incorporate Energy Storage Systems (ESSs) at the distribution-level. Deployment of these technologies is expected to increase rapidly as time-...

Highly purified, concentrated foot-and-mouth disease virus, type A, was homogeneous and monodisperse by carrier-free zone electrophoresis in a glucose density gradient. Virus mobilities in veronal-acetate buffer, pH 8.6 and ionic strength 0.1, were identical whether determined by infectivity or optical methods. Low passage calf-kidney virus had a significantly higher mobility, 3.28 x 10 ~ 5 cm2...

This report is a summary of the Third International Workshop on the Verification Of modeL Transformation (VOLT 2014) held at the STAF 2014 conference. The workshop brought together researchers from model-driven engineering, in particular from model transformation language engineering and modelbased verification. The major aims of VOLT 2014 were to identify motivations, problems, and requirement...
