This paper proposes a three-phase AC chopper system for the interconnection of various distributed generation (DG) farms or main utilities to enhance the active and reactive power flow control. The absence of large energy storage component in direct AC-AC converter makes the system footprint small and reliable. As the interface for different AC sources, the presented converter can be configured...

In mouse oocytes, meiotic induction by pharmacological activation of PRKA (adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase; formerly known as AMPK) or by hormones depends on stimulation of fatty acid oxidation (FAO). PRKA stimulates FAO by phosphorylating and inactivating acetyl CoA carboxylase (ACAC; formerly ACC), leading to decreased malonyl CoA levels and augmenting fatty-acid transport in...

The products obtained by forcing the reaction with nucleosides (guanosine, Guo, and adenosine, Ado) of potential anticancer drugs for nongenomic targets [PtCl(O,O'-acac)(L)] (L = dimethyl sulfoxide, DMSO; dimethyl sulfide, DMS), closely related to their very powerful organometallic analogues [Pt(O,O'-acac)(γ-acac)(L)], have been studied. [PtCl(O,O'-acac)(L)] and [Pt(O,O'-acac)(γ-acac)(L)] compl...

This article proposed a novel topology of dynamic voltage regulator using transformer and PWM multi-level AC/AC converter. In this paper for finding the best value of duty ratio for switches to minimize the THD, the GA algorithm has been used and THD output voltage is assumed to be fitness function. The proposed voltage regulator employs multi-level AC/AC converter to generate compensation volt...

Due to the decade of fossil fuels at present renewable energy plays an important role in generating power to meet the load requirements. Power produced from the renewable energy is very low. So chopper circuit is required to boost the voltage level of renewable energy sources. Chopper is a circuit in which fixed DC voltage is converted into variable voltage. There are many types of chopper circ...

In the present work, highly efficient oxidation of sulfides catalyzed by MoO2(acac)2 supported on multi-wall carbon nanotubes, MWCNTs, modified with 1,2-diaminobenzene (DAB) and 2-aminophenol (AP), at room temperature are reported. The effects of various parameters such as reaction time, solvent, catalyst amount, oxidant, etc, were studied. These heterogenized catalysts showed high activity in ...

Using a non-recirculating perfusion system, we studied the time course of ketone body output from the isolated rat liver in response to various hormones and changes in pH and redox state. The release of 3-hydroxybutyrate (3-OHB) started to be suppressed within 1 min after the addition of insulin (50 mU/ml) and kept half of the basal level even 10 min after its cessation. The addition of glucago...

Abstract: A low-power and low-noise dynamic instrumentation amplifier (IA) for biopotential acquisition is presented. A dynamic IA that can reduce power consumption with a timely piecewise power-gating method, and noise level with an alternating input and chopper stabilization technique is fabricated with a 0.13-μm CMOS. Using the reconfigurable architecture of the IA, various combinations of t...

Dinuclear Ru(III) complexes, [Ru(III)(acac)(2)(dabe)Ru(III)(acac)(2)] (acacH = acetylacetone; dabeH(2) = 1, 2-diacetyl-1,2-dibenzoylethane) and [Ru(III)(acac)(2)(tbet)Ru(III)(acac)(2)] (tbetH(2) = 1,1,2,2-tetrabenzoylethane) were synthesized by reacting [Ru(acac)(2)(CH(3)CN)(2)]PF(6) with dabeH(2) and tbetH(2) respectively, in toluene. The X-ray structural analysis of a meso-type dinuclear Ru(I...
