The 5th generation mobile and wireless communication systems are expected to accommodate exploding traffic, increasing number of devices, and heterogeneous applications driven by proliferation of IoT and M2M technologies. The centralized mobility management architecture in a current mobile core network cannot satisfy these emerging requirements. In this paper, we introduce novel architecture of...

Represented by wind turbines and ultra high-voltage DC (UHVDC), the power-electronic interfaced power sources participate in fast frequency control, which has a significant impact on system frequency. However, conventional under-frequency load shedding (UFLS) scheme doesn’t take into account above, resulting unreasonable after large loss of generation. To this end, article proposes an adaptive ...

Several recent studies have provided evidence that individual lighting control results in occupant satisfaction benefits. As part of a larger series of pilot studies, we examined the use of individual controls under various lighting power constraints. The studies took place in a mock-up open-plan office space, in which participants spent around two hours doing typical office tasks and answering...

Herpes simplex virus (HSV)-2 is periodically shed in the human genital tract, most often asymptomatically, and most sexual transmissions occur during asymptomatic shedding. It would be helpful to identify a genital viral load threshold necessary for transmission, as clinical interventions that maintain viral quantity below this level would be of high utility. However, because viral expansion, d...

Abstract: The results concerning the integration of a set of power management strategies and serial communications for the efficient coordination of the power converters composing an experimental DC microgrid is presented. The DC microgrid operates in grid connected mode by means of an interlinking converter. The overall control is carried out by means of a centralized microgrid controller impl...

Pandemic (H1N1) 2009 virus causes severe illness, including pneumonia, which leads to hospitalization and even death. To characterize the kinetic changes in viral load and identify factors of influence, we analyzed variables that could potentially influence the viral shedding time in a hospital-based cohort of 1,052 patients. Viral load was inversely correlated with number of days after the ons...

this paper presents fuzzy and conventional performance of model reference adaptive control(mrac) to control a dc drive. the aims of this work are achieving better match of motor speed with reference speed, decrease of noises under load changes and disturbances, and increase of system stability. the operation of nonadaptive control and the model reference of fuzzy and conventional adaptive contr...

MPLS can be used to provide network robustness to faults through path protection techniques. In this paper we present a dynamic model supporting different classes of end-to-end protection, including protection against Single Fault and Dual Fault, with and without sharing of backup bandwidth. Beyond link and node failures we also consider protection against Shared Risk Link Group (SLRG) failure....

Coordination in wireless sensor networks (WSN) is required for many tasks that are best achieved collectively, such as coverage and medium access. One of the major challenges in the design of WSN are the strong limitations imposed by finite onboard power capacity. Because communication requires considerable energy, it is imperative to have a coordination mechanism that requires little or no com...
