A Modern Energy Management System (EMS) provides sophisticated online security analysis applications to assist operators in ensuring that the power system can survive credible contingencies. Still in current practice, system operators generally refer to written operating procedures to establish system constraints, particularly in regards to transfer limits across major interties. The limits are...

Abstract Nursing homes (NHs) are a critical part of the US healthcare system providing care to sick and fragile elderly, research suggests that they can benefit from implementation health information technology (HIT). However, for multiple reasons—exclusion HITECH incentives; limited financial wherewithal; hazy return on investments (ROI), have lagged in HIT compared other significant component...

To ensure successful islanding of microgrids after a fault has occurred, the transient stability should be analyzed under set expected operating conditions during design and operation microgrids. Transient analysis is conventionally performed with time-domain which computationally expensive does not quantify margin. Energy-based methodologies can determine margin, however existing require signi...

Uncertainty of system operating conditions is one of the causative reasons which may render to the instability of a transmission system. For that reason, accurate assessment of transmission reliability margin (TRM) is essential to ensure effective power transfer between areas during the occurrence of system uncertainties. The power transfer is also called as the available transfer capability (A...

Purpose: CMOS devices are scaling down to nano ranges resulting in increased process variations and short channel effects which not only affect the reliability of the device but also performance expectations. The SRAM design uses the smallest transistors possible and is also susceptible to reliability issues and process variations, making it an ideal benchmark circuit to compare the two technol...

This study empirically observes the impact of corporate governance index on dividend payout policy by using the data on thirty textile firms listed at Karachi Stock Exchange. The data cover the five-year period from 2009 to 2013. The data were gathered from financial statements of all the sample firms. Multiple regression models were used to check the impact of corporate governance on dividend ...

BACKGROUND The marginal length from main tumor in esophageal cancer is aconsiderable issue regarding surgical management and adjuvant treatment; so we decided to study the contractility effect on the proximal surgical margin after immersing it in10% buffered formalin as a fixative. METHODS The proximal marginal length of ten sequential patients with esophageal cancer who underwent transhiatal...

Over the past few decades, power system industry in many developing and developed countries has gone through a restructuring process of the industry where they are moving towards deregulated power industry. This situation will lead to competition among the generation and distribution companies to provide quality and efficient production of electric energy, which will reduce the price of electri...
