This paper presents an overview of solutions proposed in the literature for the overcurrent relay coordination problem in the presence of distributed generators (DGs). Furthermore, several protection issues are identified to study the requirements for protection in the presence of DGs, and possible innovative solutions for resolving the operational conflicts between distribution networks and DG...

Ditag genome scanning (DGS) uses next-generation DNA sequencing to sequence the ends of ditag fragments produced by restriction enzymes. These sequences are compared to known genome sequences to determine their structure. In order to use DGS for large-scale genome structural studies, we have substantially revised the original protocol by replacing the in vivo genomic DNA cloning with in vitro a...

An analysis and design of a novel planar antenna in corporation with fractal shaped defected ground structure (DGS) for emergency management has been presented in this paper. The conventional ground plane can be replaced by a Fractal DGS ground plane to get miniaturization and better resonating characteristics. Particle swarm optimization (PSO) has been used to identify the geometrical descript...

This paper presents a new structure to implement compact narrowband high-rejection microstrip band-stop filter (BSF). This structure is the combination of two traditional BSFs: Spurline filter and BSF using defected ground structure (DGS). Due to inherently compact characteristics of both Spurline and interdigital capacitance (used as DGS), the proposed filter shows a better rejection performan...

Abstract: This paper proposes a Genetic Algorithm (GA) based method for distribution network expansion including Distributed Generation (DG). It may be introduced as a combinatorial optimization method that determines the location and capacity of feeders and substations while minimizing the network loss and installation cost. In this paper, DGs are considered in the network expansion planning d...

We give a randomized 2n+o(n)-time and space algorithm for solving the Shortest Vector Problem (SVP) on n-dimensional Euclidean lattices. This improves on the previous fastest algorithm: the deterministic Õ(4n)-time and Õ(2n)-space algorithm of Micciancio and Voulgaris (STOC 2010, SIAM J. Comp. 2013). In fact, we give a conceptually simple algorithm that solves the (in our opinion, even more int...

As various forms of renewable distributed generators (DGs) embedded in microgrids (MGs) often exhibit unstable characteristics, matching the generation to the demand whilst optimally utilizing the DGs is a non-trivial task. This paper investigates the optimal coordinated operation of multiple autonomous MGs and reveals the potential technical benefit. The proposed solution identifies the optima...

DiGeorge syndrome (DGS) is a congenital disease causing cardiac outflow tract anomalies, craniofacial dysmorphogenesis, thymus hypoplasia, and mental disorders. It results from defective development of neural crest cells (NCs) that colonize the pharyngeal arches and contribute to lower jaw, neck and heart tissues. Although TBX1 has been identified as the main gene accounting for the defects obs...
