With the ageing infrastructure and fast-growing demand faced by utilities worldwide, voltage uprating is one of most effective solutions strategic approaches in asset management decisions. In this study, a systematic method used to propose new level, based on existing transmission lines’ physical structure, utilising appropriate techniques. Prior work conducted, 132 kV line was first examined t...

The aim of this paper is to prove a general version of Plünnecke’s inequality. Namely, assume that for finite sets A, B1, . . . Bk we have information on the size of the sumsets A + Bi1 + · · · + Bil for all choices of indices i1, . . . il. Then we prove the existence of a non-empty subset X of A such that we have ‘good control’ over the size of the sumset X + B1 + · · · + Bk. As an application...

there was a rapid development in wireless network area focusing on high speed and long range application. For this purpose Zigbee technology was developed. Zigbee based devices operates usually three bands i.e. 868 MHz, 915 MHz, and 2.4 GHz. This paper explore about several blocks of transmitter using VHDL. The transmitter consist of CRC(cyclic redundancy check), Bil-to-Symbol block, symbol-to-...

Duodenal bile acids have been estimated in three age groups in infancy from birth to 7 months, and age-related changes have been shown. The lowest concentrations of duodenal bile acids occurred in the youngest infants, and increasing concentrations were found with increasing age. Taurine conjugated bile acids predominated in early infancy, while in older infants bile acids were mainly conjugate...

This paper investigates the lightning impulse duty for 400 kV underground power cables using EMTP/ATP and re-assesses the recommended design level based on probabilistic analysis. The work is a part of a larger investigation that will study by computer simulation, the full range of transient overvoltages due to lightning, switching, faults and other temporary overvoltages (TOV) on cables within...

Let (QP ) be an integer quadratic program that consists in minimizing a quadratic function subject to linear constraints. In this paper, we present several linearizations of (QP ). Many linearization methods for the quadratic 0-1 programs are known. A natural approach when considering (QP ) is to reformulate it into a quadratic 0-1 program. However, this method, that we denote BBL (Binary Binar...

this research tries to analyze al-tamwil al-mautsuq bil-rahn according the DSN fatwa Number 92 / DSN-MUI IV 2014. The used literature review. study in obtaining data using a method of digging through literature. From conducted, following results were obtained: First, with stipulation 2014 concerning is right action aim aspect common benefit. Second, there good inconsistency between classical fi...

Sokrates’in Delf Mâbedi’ndeki “Kendini bil”, Yunus Emre’nin “İlim kendin bilmektir”, Hacı Bayram Veli’nin “sen seni bil, sen seni”, Hegel’in “kendini tanı” ifadeleri ve insanın tarih boyunca yaptığı bilme yolculuğunda ‘olması gereken’ eylemlerin neliğinin ardına düşen zihinlerin benzeri arayışlarında, yaşamın düşünceye konu yapılarak ideal bir evren/insan isteği ile iradeleri mayalama kişiyi; ‘...
