考虑循环寿命折损的主动配电网仿射可调鲁棒优化方法

针对主动配电网在源荷储协同下的不确定性优化问题,提出了基于仿射可调鲁棒优化的主动配电网运行策略。首先,考虑分布式光伏的可控模型、循环寿命折损的电池储能模型和ZIP负荷模型,构建了主动配电网优化运行模型。然后,采用椭球集合来描述分布式光伏出力的不确定性,并结合仿射策略形成优化模型中决策变量与分布式光伏出力不确定性变量之间的线性决策机制。最后,通过对偶变换将主动配电网鲁棒优化模型转化为一个确定性的混合整数二阶锥规划模型进行求解。在改进的IEEE33节点算例系统中对比验证了所提出的仿射可调鲁棒优化方法的有效性和优点。     

考虑电池储能老化和需求侧响应的交直流混合配电网动态重构方法

现有的电池储能模型一方面认为电池的充放电功率和效率为固定不变的,另一方面有关电池储能的充放电过程对循环老化的影响缺少考虑,这与电池单元本体的非线性等效电路模型相违背。因此,考虑电池储能的循环老化成本、需求侧响应,提出了交直流混合配电网动态重构方法。通过对实际电池储能的充放电功率的运行区域进行采样,在凸包络的采样点集合中将非理想状态下的电池储能模型重构为线性模型。在此基础上,分别建立了基于累积吞吐电量和放电深度的循环老化成本模型,构建了综合成本最小化的交直流混合配电网动态重构模型。并采用混合整数二阶锥规划方法求解。在改进的33节点算例上仿真验证了所提基于放电深度的循环老化成本模型的经济性,分析了交直流混合配电网重构方法经济性的影响因素。     

CD57+/CD28- T cells in untreated hemato-oncological patients are expanded and display a Th1-type cytokine secretion profile, ex vivo cytolytic activity and enhanced tendency to apoptosis

Protopolystoma (Monogenea, Polystomatidae) is strictly specific to the anuran amphibian genus Xenopus. The host group is characterised by a polyploid series in which chromosome numbers reflect diploid, tetraploid, octoploid and dodecaploid constitutions; the series is considered to have evolved through interspecies hybridisation and genome duplication. This study correlates information on host evolutionary relationships with patterns of parasite speciation and host specificity. Protopolystoma is restricted to one subgenus (Xenopus) with multiples of 36 chromosomes, and is absent from the subgenus Silurana (with multiples of 20 chromosomes). Molecular, biochemical and karyotype evidence distinguishes three subgroups within Xenopus. Representative species from each subgroup, Xenopus muelleri, Xenopus fraseri and Xenopus laevis, have been examined for polystomatid infection. Two species of Protopolystoma occur in each of these host species. In X. muelleri, the two Protopolystoma species reflect parasite co-speciation corresponding with the divergence of two sibling host species. Xenopus fraseri and X. laevis (both with 2n = 36 chromosomes) are implicated in the hybrid origin of two octoploid species, Xenopus wittei and Xenopus vestitus (both 2n = 72). The relationships of the Protopolystoma species in these Xenopus taxa reflect this presumed ancestry. Xenopus wittei carries two species of Protopolystoma, one shared with X. fraseri and the other shared with X. laevis. Xenopus vestitus carries a single species of Protopolystoma which is shared with X. laevis but there is no "heirloom" which reflects its hybrid origin involving X. fraseri. In addition to these shared parasite species which may reflect shared host genes, X. fraseri and X. laevis each carry separate species-specific Protopolystoma which do not occur in other Xenopus species even where there is evidence of common genetic information (as in the allopolyploid wittei and vestitus). This case study may be interpreted as indicating a powerful influence of host genetic factors on susceptibility to infection, host-specificity, and parasite speciation.     

Animatronic shader lamps avatars

Applications such as telepresence and training involve the display of real or synthetic humans to multiple viewers. When attempting to render the humans with conventional displays, non-verbal cues such as head pose, gaze direction, body posture, and facial expression are difficult to convey correctly to all viewers. In addition, a framed image of a human conveys only a limited physical sense of presence—primarily through the display’s location. While progress continues on articulated robots that mimic humans, the focus has been on the motion and behavior of the robots rather than on their appearance. We introduce a new approach for robotic avatars of real people: the use of cameras and projectors to capture and map both the dynamic motion and the appearance of a real person onto a humanoid animatronic model. We call these devices animatronic Shader Lamps Avatars (SLA). We present a proof-of-concept prototype comprised of a camera, a tracking system, a digital projector, and a life-sized styrofoam head mounted on a pan-tilt unit. The system captures imagery of a moving, talking user and maps the appearance and motion onto the animatronic SLA, delivering a dynamic, real-time representation of the user to multiple viewers.

Low Voltage Electrowetting-on-Dielectric Platform using Multi-Layer Insulators

A low voltage, two-level-metal, and multi-layer insulator electrowetting-on-dielectric (EWD) platform is presented. Dispensing 300pl droplets from 140nl closed on-chip reservoirs was accomplished with as little as 11.4V solely through EWD forces, and the actuation threshold voltage was 7.2V with a 1Hz voltage switching rate between electrodes. EWD devices were fabricated with a multilayer insulator consisting of 135nm sputtered tantalum pentoxide (Ta(2)O(5)) and 180nm parylene C coated with 70nm of CYTOP. Furthermore, the minimum actuation threshold voltage followed a previously published scaling model for the threshold voltage, V(T), which is proportional to (t/ε(r))(1/2), where t and ε(r) are the insulator thickness and dielectric constant respectively. Device threshold voltages are compared for several insulator thicknesses (200nm, 500nm, and 1μm), different dielectric materials (parylene C and tantalum pentoxide), and homogeneous versus heterogeneous compositions. Additionally, we used a two-level-metal fabrication process, which enables the fabrication of smaller and denser electrodes with high interconnect routing flexibility. We also have achieved low dispensing and actuation voltages for scaled devices with 30pl droplets.

Working in the office of "Real Soon Now"

The "Office of Real Soon Now" is an ongoing experiment to see what it's like to use large-screen projection as our only computer display. We say "Real Soon Now" to contrast our experiment with the "Office of the Future", a project at the University of North Carolina that's building a much more sophisticated, laboratory-based environment in which multiple projectors seamlessly blend to display on most of the office surfaces. Our systems aren't nearly that fancy. Our idea was to experiment with systems we could build and operate within days. In our "Real Soon Now" offices, we use large-screen projection instead of conventional monitors. We've been using these systems for more than a year, and we'll never go back.     

Best practices for preventing musculoskeletal disorders in masonry: stakeholder perspectives

Brick masons and mason tenders report a high prevalence of work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs), many of which can be prevented with changes in materials, work equipment or work practices. To explore the use of "best practices" in the masonry industry, NIOSH organized a 2-day meeting of masonry stakeholders. Attendees included 30 industry representatives, 5 health and safety researchers, 4 health/safety specialists, 2 ergonomic consultants, and 2 representatives of state workers' compensation programs. Small groups discussed ergonomic interventions currently utilized in the masonry industry, including factors affecting intervention implementation and ways to promote diffusion of interventions. Meeting participants also identified various barriers to intervention implementation, including business considerations, quality concerns, design issues, supply problems, jobsite conditions and management practices that can slow or limit intervention diffusion. To be successful, future diffusion efforts must not only raise awareness of available solutions but also address these practical concerns.
