Demand and frequency deviation is gaining more popularity in power system research especially with multiple systems interconnections operations as a result of the complexity network, network upgrade renewable energy sources integration. However, stability respect to momentarily fault Load Frequency Control (LFC) models, terms time taken for settle, magnitude overshoot Steady-State Error (SSE) m...

The four observables associated with gravitational lensing of distant quasars by intervening galaxies: image splittings, relative amplifications, time delays, and optical depths, provide separate measures of the strength of the gravitational constant G at cosmological distances. These allow one, in principle, to factor out unknown lensing parameters to directly to probe the variation of G over ...

We discuss in detail the semiclassical approximation for the CGHS model of two-dimensional dilatonic black holes. This is achieved by a formal expansion of the full Wheeler-DeWitt equation and the momentum constraint in powers of the gravitational constant. In highest order, the classical CGHS solution is recovered. The next order yields a functional Schrödinger equation for quantum fields prop...

Gravitational search algorithm (GSA) is one of the newest swarm based optimization algorithms, which has been inspired by the Newtonian laws of gravity and motion. GSA has empirically shown to be an efficient and robust stochastic search algorithm. Since introducing GSA a convergence analysis of this algorithm has not yet been developed. This paper introduces the first attempt to a formal conve...

This paper deals with torque reduction control for an electro-pneumatic hybrid vertical positioning system composed of a servomotor a pneumatic and a mechanical driving sub-system. The servomotor, coupled with a ball screw connected to the load by nut, enables to position a load vertically. The servomotor with small capacity, as well as energy saving, is required for cost down. To realize its s...

Mammary metabolic activity in pregnant rats is significantly increased in response to spaceflight. To determine whether changes in mammary metabolism are related to gravity load, we exposed pregnant rats to hypergravity and measured mammary metabolic activity. From days 11-20 of gestation (G), animals were centrifuged (20 rpm; 1.5, 1.75, or 2.0 x gravity) or were maintained at 1 G. On G20, five...

Friction is a major inhibitor in almost every mechanical system. Enlightened by the Leidenfrost effect - a droplet can be levitated by its own vapor layer on a sufficiently hot surface - we demonstrate for the first time that a small cart can also be levitated by Leidenfrost vapor. The levitated cart can carry certain amount of load and move frictionlessly over the hot surface. The maximum load...

Convincing evidence of a past interaction between two rich clusters A399 and A401 was recently found by the X-ray imaging observations. In this paper we examine the structure and dynamics of this pair of galaxy clusters. A mixture-modeling algorithm has been applied to obtain a robust partition into two clusters, which allows us to discuss the virial mass and velocity distribution for each clus...
