The renewable energy sources and plug-in electric vehicles (PEVs) are becoming very popular because of the combination of high fuel costs and concerns about emission issues. This paper presents modelling and control of a Building Integrated Fuel Cell and Plug-in Electric Vehicles (BIFC-PEV) in smart distribution systems. In BIFC-PEV system, conventional building elements could be replaced by sp...

In this paper, a very efficient method, called single matrix block analyzer (SMBA), has been developed to determine relative permeability and capillary pressure curves from spontaneous imbibition (SI) data. SMBA mimics realistically the SI tests by appropriate boundary conditions modeling. In the proposed method, a cuboid with an identical core plug height is considered. The equal dimensions of...

Recent developments in the field of image manipulation and restoration have seen the merging of techniques that reconstruct texture and those that reconstruct structure to create algorithms that are effective for a far greater variety of image completion scenarios than were previously possible. Few of these innovative and useful algorithms are available to ordinary users however. We describe th...

Metacomputing frameworks have received renewed attention of late, fueled both by advances in hardware and networking, and by novel concepts such as computational grids. HARNESS is an experimental metacomputing system based upon the principle of dynamic reconfigurability not only in terms of the computers and networks that comprise the virtual machine, but also in the capabilities of the VM itse...

Protein translocation occurs across the energy-conserving bacterial membrane at the SecYEG channel. The crystal structure of the channel has revealed a possible mechanism for gating and opening. This study evaluates the plug hypothesis using cysteine crosslink experiments in combination with various allelic forms of the Sec complex. The results demonstrate that the SecY plug domain moves away f...

The configuration and maintenance of fieldbus networks is a difficult and error-prone task. Plug-andPlay comes to the rescue by automating node identification, integration and configuration tasks that were originally done manually. This paper proposes a Plugand-Play functionality for the time-triggered fieldbus protocol TTP/A that works during operation concurrently to real-time communication o...
