This paper provides an overview of early attempt at developing a simulation model on solid-state transformer (SST) based input-serial and output-parallel (ISOP) topology. The proposed SST is designed as base for smart grid (SG). theoretical review the power converters under consideration, well their control techniques. Further, presents concept with PLECS circuit simulator. examines bidirection...

Customer self-service technologies (SST) have been gaining increasing economic importance given their proliferation in the customer service industry. Self-service kiosks have gradually been replacing traditional service employees and their progress is expected to continue. The growing relevance of SST results in the need for companies to understand why customers are willing to use SST and which...

a r t i c l e i n f o Cross-evaluation of sea surface temperature (SST) algorithms was undertaken using split-window channels of Meteosat Second Generation Spinning Enhanced Visible and Infrared Imager (SEVIRI) as a proxy for the Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellites-R (GOES-R) Advanced Baseline Imager (ABI). The goal of the study was to select the algorithm which provides the high...

The thymus exhibits a pattern of aging oriented toward a physiological involution. The structural changes start with a steady decrease of thymocytes, whereas no major variations occur in the number of thymic epithelial cells (TEC). The data concerning the role of hormones and neuropeptides in thymic involution are equivocal. We recently demonstrated the presence of somatostatin (SS) and three d...

Precipitation change in response to global warming has profound impacts on environment for life but is highly uncertain. Effects of sea surface temperature (SST) warming on the response of rainfall and atmospheric overturning circulation are investigated using Coupled Model Intercomparison Project simulations. The SST warming is decomposed into a spatially uniform SST increase (SUSI) and deviat...

We examine the extent to which the large-scale features of the sea surface temperature (SST) anomaly eld are resolved by a sparse observational network of coral oxygen isotope ( 18O) time series. Regression of annually-averaged 18O data against gridded estimates of local SST anomaly within the period 1856{1990 con rm the literature regression of 18Oanomaly on SST anomaly for Indo-Paci c corals....

In rat CA1 hippocampal pyramidal neurons (HPNs), somatostatin (SST) has inhibitory postsynaptic actions, including hyperpolarization of the membrane at rest and augmentation of the K+ M-current. However, the effects of SST on synaptic transmission in this brain region have not been well-characterized. Therefore we used intracellular voltage-clamp recordings in rat hippocampal slices to assess t...

BACKGROUND The promoter of somatostatin (SST), a primary inhibitor of gastrin-stimulated gastric acid secretion, is hypermethylated in 80% of human colon cancers. The aim of the current study was to investigate whether and at what stage promoter hypermethylation of SST is involved in human esophageal carcinogenesis. METHODS SST promoter hypermethylation was examined by real-time methylation-s...

The effects of relative and absolute sea surface temperature (SST) on tropical cyclone potential intensity are investigated using the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) single-column model. The model is run in two modes: (i) radiative–convective equilibrium (RCE) to represent the convective response to uniform warming of the ocean as in a homogeneous aqua planet, and (ii) weak temperat...
