In this proposal, we review the history of message communication and survey the present broadband deployment. We believe networks in 21st centry are optical networks due to fiber’s inherent data carrying capacity. To overcome the mismatching between the electrical processing speed and the optical transmission rate, an all-optical data path needs be maintained. We investigate the design issues o...

There are occasional reports of using the appendix to replace sections of the ureters, and to our knowledge, only a couple of them were in the left side. We used the appendix as a ureteral substitute in two cases in technically difficult parts, the upper left ureter and the first part of the right ureter. Follow-ups of8 years and 6 months in right and left side cases, respectively, are imp...

In recent years, most of the loads and distributed generations are connected to the AC grid through the power electronic converters. Using the DC grid beside the AC grid can reduce the conversion stages and power losses. Protection of the DC grids is a challenging issue because of the new structures of DC grids and fast transients of the DC faults. This paper studies the protection of the low v...
