Integration of distributed generations (DGs) in power grids is expected to play an essential role in the infrastructure and market of electrical power systems. Microgrids are small energy systems, capable of balancing captive supply and requesting resources to retain stable service within a specific boundary. Microgrids can operate in grid-connected or islanding modes. Effective islanding detec...

Hydatid cyst fluid has been used as a source of antigen for the serodiagnosis of Echinococcus granulosus infection. Due to cross-reactions with antigens shared by other helminthes, the specific antigen from hydatid cyst fluid was purified by many workers. We used a relatively simple technique for purification of specific antigen from sheep hydatid cyst fluid. Isopycnic ultracentrifugation w...

Background and Objectives: In recent decades, due to the effect of the short channel, the use of CMOS transistors in the nanoscale has become a major concern. One option to deal with this issue is the use of nano-transistors. Methods: Using nano-transistors and multi-valued logic (MVL) can reduce the level of chips and connections and have a direct impact on power consumption. The present study...

Abstract In this paper, a novel technique based on fuzzy method is presented for chaotic nonlinear time series prediction. Fuzzy approach with the gradient learning algorithm and methods constitutes the main components of this method. This learning process in this method is similar to conventional gradient descent learning process, except that the input patterns and parameters are stored in mem...

Nanocrystalline ZnO particles were prepared by a novel sonochemical route from zinc acetate and sodium hydroxide without any requirement of calcination steps at high temperature and without surfactants. Variations in several parameters and their effects on the structural (crystal size and morphology) properties of nanoparticles were investigated. Characterizations were carried out by X-Ray ...

Substituted naphthofurans and naphthopyrans were constructed at high temperature from allyl or propargyl naphthyl ethers via Claisen rearrangement in moderate to good yields. Also, substituted (trimethylsilyl)-naphthofurans were synthesized from the corresponding naphtofurans.

Thermal rearrangement of propargyl naphthyl ethers produced naphthopyrans. In the presence of sodium methoxide, propargyl naphthyl ethers were converted easily to naphthofurans and naphthodifurans in good yields

background: sperm preparation is a fundamental step in art and attempt for developing new methods to be continued. objective: to evaluate the efficacy of upstream method for separation of human spermatozoa and its effects on sperm parameters including: motility morphology and concentration. materials and methods: semen samples from 17 men who referred to infertility clinic for evaluating their ...
