This paper proposes an autonomous and economic droop control scheme for DC microgrid application. In this method, a cost-effective power sharing technique among various types of DG units is properly adopted. The droop settings are determined based on an algorithm to individually manage the power management without any complicated optimization methods commonly applied in the centralized control ...

A frequency and voltage control strategy based on a decentralized communication-less approach is proposed in this work applied to Photovoltaic-Storage-Microturbine islanded Microgrids (MGs). The the Model Predictive Control (MPC) technique. Thanks use of local measurements, each source can nullify steady-state errors by means dedicated MPC controller. Consequently, unifies advantages classic dr...

Follicular dendritic cell-secreted protein (FDC-SP) is a small secretory protein having structural similarities to statherin, a protein in saliva thought to play a role in calcium retention in saliva. In contrast, FDC-SP is thought to play a role in the immune system associated with germinal centers. We report here the very specific expression of FDC-SP in junctional epithelium at the gingival ...

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study is to assess the cost-effectiveness of other long-acting muscarinic antagonist + long-acting β2 agonist combinations in comparison with Spiolto® Respimat® (tiotropium + olodaterol fixed-dose combination [FDC]) for maintenance treatment to relieve symptoms in adult patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. METHODS A previously published individual-lev...

OBJECTIVE To localise and characterise follicular dendritic cells (FDC) present in autoimmune lesions of primary Sjögren syndrome. METHODS Cryostat sections of labial salivary glands from 15 patients with primary Sjögren syndrome were examined by an indirect immunoperoxidase technique and monoclonal antibodies to a panel of dendritic cell markers. Tonsils from two controls were also examined ...

In this brief, a novel current-limiting droop controller for paralleled dc-dc boost converters loaded by constant impedance Z, current I, or power P loads in dc microgrid is proposed to guarantee closed-loop stability and sharing. Using an improved version of the recently nonlinear controller, inherent property guaranteed each converter independently load type magnitude variations. Then, suffic...

Lymphocyte-vascular adhesion protein-2 was recently identified as CD73. The CD73 molecule, otherwise known as ecto-5'-nucleotidase, is a lymphocyte maturation marker that is involved in intracellular signaling, and lymphocyte proliferation and activation. We now show that CD73, in addition to mediating lymphocyte binding to endothelial cells, also mediates adhesion between B cells and follicula...
