BACKGROUND Decreasing the stiffness of locked plating constructs can promote natural fracture healing by controlled dynamization of the fracture. This biomechanical study compared the effect of 4 different stiffness reduction methods on interfragmentary motion by measuring axial motion and shear motion at the fracture site. METHODS Distal femur locking plates were applied to bridge a metadiap...

A new DC fault current limiter (FCL)-based circuit breaker (CB) for microgrid (MG) clusters is proposed in this paper. The analytical expressions of the a bidirectional interlink DC/DC converter interconnection line two nearby MGs are analyzed detail. Meanwhile, clearing solution (based on using FCL series with breaker) proposed. This structure offers low complexity, cost, and power losses. To ...

In this paper, the fault current limiting (FCL) characteristics of a flux-coupled type superconducting limiter (SFCL) with parallel connection between two windings in DC system were analyzed. The SFCL was composed coils connected and element (SE), which series secondary coil. works systems similar to those AC systems. Before occurs, respective magnetic fluxes generated by offset each other, mai...

Mutations in TREX1 have been linked to a spectrum of human autoimmune diseases including Aicardi-Goutières syndrome (AGS), familial chilblain lupus (FCL), systemic lupus erythematosus, and retinal vasculopathy and cerebral leukodystrophy. A common feature in these conditions is the frequent detection of antibodies to double-stranded DNA (dsDNA). TREX1 participates in a cell death process implic...

The main source of changing requirements of the dynamic business environment is response to changes in regulations and contracts towards which businesses are obligated to comply. At the same time, many organizations have their business processes specified independently of their business obligations (which include adherence to contracts laws an...

Flipped classroom learning (FCL), which is focused on offering online video lectures and expecting students to work comprehend the material prior coming class, has become a popular strategy in recent years, allowing instructor reinforce it with metacognitive exercises. Thus, this study will analyze 58 research results from 54 quantitative studies published between 2007 2020 determine overall in...

To improve the efficiency of competitive neural network in solving clustering problems, the outline of a new scheme of training is presented in this paper. This technique is based on an unsupervised fuzzy competitive learning, that’s why we name it fuzzy competitive learning or FCL. Results provided by the proposed technique are compared with those obtained by other well known techniques such a...
