BACKGROUND Solar ultraviolet (UV) radiation has deleterious effects on the skin, including sunburn, photoaging and cancer. Chocolate flavanols are naturally-occurring antioxidant and anti-inflammatory molecules that could play a role in preventing cutaneous UV damage. We investigated the influence of 12-week high-flavanol chocolate (HFC) consumption on skin sensitivity to UV radiation, measured...

It’s important to realize, optimized dispatching of generating units would be useless without a method of control. Frequency regulation in interconnected network is one of the main challenges posed by wind turbine in modern power system. Obviously the method of load frequency control (LFC) plays a vital role in large interconnected power system. However the modern LFC should be able to handle c...

Modern day power systems are divided into various areas. The transmission lines that connect an area to its neighboring area are called tie-lines sharing power between two areas. Automatic Generation Control (AGC) as the name signifies it regulates the power flow between different areas while holding the frequency constant. Frequency control as a major function of automatic generation control i...

In neuronal population signals, including the electroencephalogram (EEG) and electrocorticogram (ECoG), the low-frequency component (LFC) is particularly informative about motor behavior and can be used for decoding movement parameters for brain-machine interface (BMI) applications. An idea previously expressed, but as of yet not quantitatively tested, is that it is the LFC phase that is the ma...
