conclusions although skin traction had no effect on analgesic consumption, it significantly decreased the pain at the end of the first day. the application of skin traction in patients with intertrochanteric fractures is recommended. results the severity of pain was significantly decreased in skin traction group only at the end of the first day after traction application (2.7 ± 0.8 vs. 3.3 ± 0....

background: traction has been suggested to be an effective treatment for symptoms of neck disorder in patients with no contraindications. however, according to previous researches, the effectiveness of traction is controversial, particularly compared to other conservative treatments. this trial was conducted to evaluate the effect of sustained traction, using an over-the-door home cervical trac...

Transformer model; Load flow analysis; Symmetrical components; Distribution systems Abstract This paper presents an efficient approach for developing three-phase transformer admittance matrices in the radial power-flow analysis. The proposed transformer model overcomes the singularity problem of the nodal admittance submatrices of ungrounded transformer configurations. This has been achieved by...

The present paper deals with the analysis and development of noise-reduction transformer that has a filter function for conductive noise transmission. Two types of prototype noise-reduction transformers with two different output voltages are proposed. To determine an optimum design for the noise-reduction transformer, noise attenuation characteristics are discussed based on the experiments and ...

a wind turbine transformer (wtt) is designed using a 3d wound core while the transformer’s total owning cost (toc) and its inrush current performance realized as the two objective functions in a multi-objective optimization process. multi-objective genetic algorithm is utilized to derive pareto optimal solutions. the effects of inrush current improvement on other operating and design parameters...

this work studies the effect of neutral earth resistance on the controlling ferroresonance oscillation in the power transformer including MOV surge arrester. A simple case of ferroresonance circuit in a three phase transformer is used to show this phenomenon and the three-phase transformer core structures including nonlinear core losses are discussed. The effect of MOV surge arrester and neutra...

Power system overvoltages due to switching, lightning and other disturbances are the main problem for designers of the power transformers. Once some frequencies of the incoming surges match with some of the natural frequencies of transformer winding, the resonance phenomenon is expected in transformer winding. The resonant overvoltages may destroy the insulation between turns and cause to insul...

The paper investigates the behavior of four transformer models in electromagnetic transients programs (EMTP) when calculating inrush currents due to shell-type transformers energization. These models are single-phase Saturable Transformer (STC), BCTRAN, Hybrid Transformer (XFMR) and UMEC. The measurements of a real transformer energization performed by EDF in France are used to evaluate the acc...

The Drosophila transformer-2 gene uses alternative promoters and splicing patterns to generate four different mRNAs that together encode three putative RNA-binding polypeptides. The transformer-2 products expressed in somatic tissues function to regulate the RNA splicing of the sex determination gene doublesex, whereas products expressed in the male germ line play an unknown, but essential, rol...
