Ever-increasing size, complexity and operation costs in modern
power systems have stimulated the intensive study of an optimal
Load Shedding and Generator Rescheduling (LSGR) strategy in the
sense of a secure and economic system operation.
The conventional approach to LSGR has been based on the application of LP (Linear Programming)...
Biotic and abiotic processes at continent-ocean interfaces cycle a disproportionate mass of carbon and nutrients relative to their global surface area, and microbial activity is a principal determinant of organic and inorganic matter flux in these transition zones. Most studies using modern high-throughput ‘omics techniques to link microorganisms with costal...
Experiments were done to determine pathogenic variability
and pathogenic adaptation of Septoria tritici to different
wheat cultivars. Fifteen S. tritici isolates from
California, Oregon, and Texas were evaluated on seedlings of
two sets of geographically diverse wheat cultivars under
greenhouse conditions. Significant isolate effects, cultivar
effects, and isolate X cultivar...
Flexible Dual-TCP/UDP Streaming Protocol with Adaptive Bitstream Prioritization (FDSP with Adaptive-BP) is a new method for streaming H.264-encoded High-definition (HD) video over WLANs. Traditionally, video streaming is done either using Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) or User Datagram Protocol (UDP) protocol, resulting in either rebuffering or packet loss respectively. While FDSP-based...
Enantioenriched sp³-hybridized carbenoid reagents CR1R2MX (X = nucleofuge, M = electrofuge) of different types were investigated for the synthesis of polysubstituted alkyl chains by iterative stereospecific reagent-controlled homologation (StReCH) and for the stereospecific connective synthesis of alkenes by eliminative cross-coupling.
In the first part, putative enantioenriched α-chloroalkyllithiums (CHRLiCl) were employed...
Wireless High Definition Video Transmission (WHDVT) over 802.11-based networks enjoys widespread deployment among today's multimedia solutions. Examples include Intel® Wireless Display and Apple Airplay®, to name a few. In these systems, peer-to-peer networks are established over which H.264-encoded video is transported wirelessly to be decoded and played back at the...
Death of flower parts near bloom due to inflorescence necrosis (IN) is associated with high ammonium (NH₄⁺) concentration in flower clusters, shade, cool wet weather preceding bloom, and excessive vigor. Faults in NH₄⁺ assimilation are suspected to cause a rise in NH₄⁺ concentration to toxic levels in flower cluster but...
