Off-pump Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG) is still today a technically difficult procedure. In fact, the mechanical stabilizers used to locally suppress the heart excursion have been demonstrated to exhibit significant residual motion. We therefore propose a novel active stabilizer which is able to compensate for this residual motion. The interaction between the heart and a mechanical sta...

X(L) = {x ∈ X(L) such that Gx is finite and G · x is closed in X (L)} , where Gx is the stabilizer of x. It turns out that π −1 (π(x)) = G · x, for all x ∈ X(L). We refer to [7] or [8] for the classical properties of this quotient. Observe that this GIT-quotient is not canonical: it depends on a choice of an ample G-linearized line bundle L over X (sometimes called a polarization of X). During ...

Stabilizer-free polyaniline nanofiber aqueous colloids were obtained by the direct dispersing of polyaniline nanofiber prepared in the presence of β-cyclodextrin. The polyaniline nanofiber, the diameters of which are between 80 and 100 nm, can be steadily dispersed in near neuter (pH=6.5) aqueous solution for about 60 days without any steric or electrostatic stabilizer. © 2007 Elsevier B.V.

A construction is given of a valent arc transitive graph with vertex stabilizer isomorphic to the dihedral group D The graph has vertices and is the rst known example of a valent arc transitive graph with nonabelian vertex stabilizer A VALENT HALF ARC TRANSITIVE GRAPH

This report contains the comprehensive explanation of some most important quantum error correction codes. After the brief corroboration of the quantum mechanical principles that govern any quantum mechanical process, we introduce stabilizer formalism and stabilizer codes for quantum error correction (QEC). As an interesting derivative from classical counterpart we also present Quantum Reed Mull...

This paper presents an Improved Artificial Bee Colony (IABC) algorithm to optimal tune of the Power System Stabilizer (PSS). In the IABC algorithm an interactive strategy is introduced by considering the universal gravitation to the movement of onlooker bees in the original Artificial Bee Colony (ABC) to enhance exploration ability of the ABC algorithm. The robustly PSS tuning problem is formul...

The present paper investigates the power system stabilizer based on neural predictive control for improving power system dynamic performance over a wide range of operating conditions. In this study a design and application of the neural network model predictive controller (NN-MPC) on a simple power system composed of a synchronous generator connected to an infinite bus through a transmission li...
