The aim of this paper is to show the efficiency of the System Dynamics Computer Simulation Modeling of the dynamics behavior of Marine Diesel-Drive Generating Set, as one of the most complex and non-linear marine technical systems. In this paper Marine Diesel-Drive Generating Set will be presented as a qualitative and quantitative system dynamics computer model with a special automation aspect ...

BACKGROUND In patients with heterogeneous emphysema, surgical and bronchoscopic lung volume reduction (LVR) treatments are available. However, for patients with homogeneous emphysema these treatments are hardly investigated and seem less effective. Bronchoscopic LVR coil treatment has been shown to be effective in patients with heterogeneous emphysema, but this treatment has not been exclusivel...

OBJECTIVE Remodeling of the left ventricle (LV) in ischemic cardiomyopathy frequently leads to functional mitral regurgitation (MR). The indication for correcting MR in patients undergoing LV reconstruction (LVR) is unclear. In this study, we evaluated our strategy of correcting MR≥grade 2+ by restrictive mitral annuloplasty (RMA) during LVR. METHODS We studied 92 consecutive patients (76 men...

progress has been made in speech-recognition technology over the last few years and nowhere has this progress been more evident than in the area of large-vocabulary recognition (LVR). Current laboratory systems are capable of transcribing continuous speech from any speaker with average word-error rates between 5% and 10%. If speaker adaptation is allowed, then after 2 or 3 minutes of speech, th...

The integration of distributed generation causes an increase of the voltage magnitude in low voltage grids. In addition to classical grid expansion distribution system operators have various options at their hands to reduce the voltage rise, e.g. by installing distribution transformers with on-load tap changers or voltage regulators. But for efficient control the network operators need informat...

Supplying power is the most fundamental and intrinsic function of any electrical system, be it analog, digital, or mixed-signal in nature. Voltage regulators provide such a function, to convert unpredictable and noisy supplies to stable, constant, accurate, and loadindependent voltages. The input supplies are derived, for the most part, from batteries, generators, and other offline ac or dc sou...

Power distribution systems face continuous challenges from increased demand and lengthening of feeders, resulting in power loss augmentation unacceptable voltage drops. Thus, to reduce technical losses improve the profile, common techniques such as reactive compensation, network reconfiguration, placing regulators are employed. Distribution reconfiguration (DNR) consists modifying system topolo...
