Factors influencing the accuracy of UAV-photogrammetry-based snow depth distribution maps were investigated. First, UAV-based surveys performed on 0.04 km2 snow-covered study site in South Korea for 37 times over period 13 days under 16 prescribed conditions composed various photographing times, flight altitudes, and photograph overlap ratios. Then, multi-temporal Digital Surface Models (DSMs) ...

This paper examines how the combined use of hydro governors and a wide-area damping controller (WADC) can improve inter-area oscillations in power systems. Such endanger stability grids, thus them is high priority for transmission system operators (TSO). To ensure that low-frequency decay as fast possible, modal linear quadratic Gaussian (LQG) proposed approach. Using 10-machine New England Tes...

The orphan receptor tyrosine kinase Tie-1 is expressed in endothelial cells and is essential for vascular development. Nothing is known about the signaling pathways utilized by this receptor. In this study we have used chimeric receptors composed of the TrkA ectodomain fused to the transmembrane and intracellular domains of Tie-1, or the related receptor Tie-2, to examine Tie-1 signaling capaci...

Open-tubular capillary chromatography using a ternary solvent mixture consisting of a water-hydrophilic-hydrophobic organic solvent as a carrier solution has been developed. When the ternary carrier solution is fed into the capillary tube, the carrier solvents are radially distributed and generate inner and outer phases in the tube. The outer phase functions as a pseudo-stationary phase in ch...

When power systems are expanded and connected together with weak tie lines, the low-frequency oscillations are increased and the stability margin of the power system decreases. Therefore, when designing the transmission system to be used, it is necessary to maintain the dynamic stability of the power system, and to make sure to have the most possible stability margin. SSSC is a FACTS device con...

The need of reducing CO2 emissions in electricity generation field for solving global warming problems have led to increase the interest in Micro-Grid (MG) especially the one which included renewable sources. MG normally operates in normal interconnected mode and connects with the main grid. When a large disturbance happens in main grid, MG transfer to islanding mode. This paper deals with conn...

The current study explores the possibility of using a polyethyleneglycol(PEG)-ammonium sulphate aqueous two-phase system (ATPS) as an early step in a process for the purification of a model 6.1 kbp plasmid DNA (pDNA) vector. Neutralised alkaline lysates were fed directly to ATPS. Conditions were selected to direct pDNA towards the salt-rich bottom phase, so that this stream could be subsequentl...

This study evaluates the applicability of different models coordinate transformation between local and global geodetic datums. The results indicate grid-based method as best solution, assuming a sufficient density tie points. Transformation based on limited number points, which do not reflect real state survey basis in particular area, have possibilities to reduce nonuniform unequally distribut...

Experimental liquid-liquid equilibria of the water-chloroform-acetic acid system were studied at temperature of 298.15 K. Complete phase diagrams were obtained by determining solubility and tie-line data. Data for the construction of ties-lines were determined by preparing mixtures of known mole fraction of components in the region of formation of two phases. Separation factors were evaluated f...
