Objective(s) Physiological changes in the body may be utilized as potential triggers for controlled drug delivery. Based on these mechanisms, stimulus-responsive drug delivery has been developed. Materials and Methods In this study, a kind of poly (N-isopropylacrylamide-acrylamide) membrane was prepared by radical copolymerization. Changes in swelling ratios and diameters of the membrane wer...

A wind farm is a collection of wind turbines built in an area to provide electricity. Wind power is a renewable energy resource and an alternative to non-renewable fossil fuels. In this paper impact of wind farms in power system reliability is investigate and a new procedure for reliability assessment of wind farms in HL1 level is proposed. In proposed procedure, application of Fuzzy – Markov f...

Multi agent Markov decision processes (MMDPs), as the generalization of Markov decision processes to the multi agent case, have long been used for modeling multi agent system and are used as a suitable framework for Multi agent Reinforcement Learning. In this paper, a generalized learning automata based algorithm for finding optimal policies in MMDP is proposed. In the proposed algorithm, MMDP ...

the hydrogen abstraction reaction of oh radical with ch3ch2ocf2chf2 (hfe-374pc2) is investigated theoretically by semi-classical transition state theory. the stationary points on the potential energy surface of the reaction are located by using kmlyp density functional method along with 6-311++g(d,p) basis set. vibrational anharmonicity coefficients, xij, required for semi-classical transition ...

the effects of electromagnetic fields (emfs) radiation at the frequency of 940 mhz on the structure and function of human adult and fetal hemoglobin (hba and hbf) were studied. after extraction and purification of hba and hbf, the oxygen absorption values for exposed and unexposed hba and hbf to emf were compared. the slope of oxygen absorption curve for exposed hba was increased while that for...

using the facts controllers, such as static synchronous compensator (statcom), as it provides continuous reactive power, in the grid including wind turbine (wt) equipped with doubly fed induction generator, for improving voltage profile (under normal circumstances) and providing a transition ability from inductor generator transition state has been proposed. in this paper, in order to control t...
