In this paper we present a method for establishing the value of a network’s components from a reliability worth perspective. The method can be applied to a general distribution system i.e. both for radial and meshed network systems. Moreover, this paper shows results from an application study for a rural network system that is dominated by overhead lines. The purpose of the study was to establi...

Background The cause of shoulder pain and dysfunction in the overhead athlete can be variable. Several studies illustrate the wide variety of lesions seen at the time of arthroscopy in overhead athletes who require surgery but it is unclear whether these differ by sport. Questions/purposes We examined overhead athletes with shoulder dysfunction to determine (1) the range of arthroscopically vis...

Dynamic thermal ratings have the potential to offer a costeffective alternative to network reinforcement for Distribution Network Operators looking to accommodate load growth or distributed generation connections. A review of the state of the art regarding dynamic thermal rating technologies around the world is presented. Focusing on overhead lines, a survey and evaluation of the various techno...

Computing the visibility of out-door scenes is often much harder than of in-door scenes. A typical urban scene, for example, is densely occluded, and it is effective to precompute its visibility space, since from a given point only a small fraction of the scene is visible. The difficulty is that although the majority of objects are hidden, some parts might be visible at a distance in an arbitra...

background: in order to extend hbv immunization to twenty-five-year old adolescents, ministry of health and medical education (moh & me) in iran has decided to implement hbv mass vaccination campaign for adolescents who were born from 1989 to 1992. the first three-round campaign covering 1989 born adolescents was implemented in 2007 in iran. this study was conducted for cost estimation and anal...
