This paper presents an algorithm based on multi-objective approach for network reconfiguration. Multiple objectives are considered for reduction in the system power loss, deviations of the nodes voltage and transformers loading imbalance, while subject to a radial network structure in which all the loads must be energized and no branch current constraint is violated. These three objectives are ...

background: crimean-congo hemorrhagic fever virus (cchfv) belongs to genus nairovirus and family bunyaviridae. the main aim of this study was to investigate the extent of recombination in s-segment genome of cchfv in iran. methods: samples were isolated from iranian patients and those available in genbank, and analyzed by phyloge­netic and bootscan methods. results: through comparison of the ph...

This paper demonstrates the design of an Arrayed Waveguide Gratings (AWG) based optical switch. In the design both physical and network layer analysis is performed. The physical layer power and noise analysis is done to obtain Bit Error Rate (BER). This has been found that at the higher bit rates, BER is not affected with number of buffer modules. Network layer analysis is done to obtain perfor...

Nowadays, railway transport plays a very important role in the system period of positive growth commerce, economy and industry. In accordance with other modes transport, is most stable mode for transporting, safety, capability carrying, social economic benefits. Sleepers have major roles complex distributed load from rails when train goes through to ballast. This study discussed pre-stressed co...

Abstract This paper presents experimental verification of indirect tests for the determination stress-crack opening curve concrete, based on method described in RILEM TC 187-SOC report and submitted to ACI Committee 446 Fracture Toughness Testing Concrete, which relies standard cohesive model. In such method, a bilinear approximation softening is determined from three-point bending notched spec...
