Selective Interaction of Syntaxin 1A with KCNQ2: Possible Implications for Specific Modulation of Presynaptic Activity
(Public Library Science,, 2009-08-13)
KCNQ2/KCNQ3 channels are the molecular correlates of the neuronal M-channels, which play a major role in the control of neuronal excitability. Notably, they differ from homomeric KCNQ2 channels in their distribution pattern ...
Sliding mode control strategy for variable speed wind turbines
(IEEE, 2009)
The efficiency of the wind power conversions systems can be greatly improved using an appropriate control algorithm. In this work, a robust control for variable speed wind power generation that incorporates a doubly feed ...
Object oriented simulation of hybrid renewable energy systems focused on supervisor control
(IEEE, 2009)
With eyes focused on simulation the authors review some of the main topics of Hybrid Renewable Energy Systems (HRES). Then they describe an Object Oriented model of a simple example of one of such systems, a micro-grid, ...
Somatisation in primary care: experiences of primary care physicians involved in a training program and in a randomised controlled trial
(BMC Family Practice 10 : (2009) // Article n. 73, 2009-11)
Background: A new intervention aimed at managing patients with medically unexplained symptoms (MUS) based on a specific set of communication techniques was developed, and tested in a cluster randomised clinical trial. Due ...
A Self-Referencing Intensity Based Polymer Optical Fiber Sensor for Liquid Detection
(MDPI, 2009-08)
A novel self-referencing fiber optic intensity sensor based on bending losses of a partially polished polymer optical fiber (POF) coupler is presented. The coupling ratio (K) depends on the external liquid in which the ...
Asymptotic Comparison of the Solutions of Linear Time-Delay Systems with Point and Distributed Lags with Those of Their Limiting Equations
(Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2009)
This paper investigates the relations between the particular eigensolutions of a limiting functional differential equation of any order, which is the nominal (unperturbed) linear autonomous differential equations, and the ...
An agent-based multi-scale wind generation model
(ACTA Press, 2009)
This paper presents an agent-based model for simulating wind power systems on multiple time scales. The aim is to generate a flexible model that allows us to simulate the output of a wind farm. The model is developed using ...
Complete agent based simulation of mini-grids
(ACTA Press, 2009)
With eyes focused on simulation we review some of the main topics of Hybrid Renewable Energy Systems (HRES). Then we describe an Agent Based model of a simple example of one of such systems, a micro-grid, oriented to ...
Variable structure control for maximum wind power extraction
(ACTA Press, 2009)
The actual wind turbines are provided with adjustable speed generators.Iike the double feed induction generator, that are capable to work in variable speed operations. One of the main advantage of adjustable speed generators ...
