A Smart Grid Framework for Optimally Integrating Supply-Side, Demand-Side and Transmission Line Management Systems
A coordinated centralized energy management system (ConCEMS) is presented in this paper that seeks to integrate for optimal grid operation—the supply side energy management system (SSEMS), home energy management system (HEMS) and transmission line management system (TLMS).ConCEMS in ensuring the optimal operation of an IEEE 30-bus electricity
Fiber-1 of serotype 4 fowl adenovirus mediates superinfection resistance against serotype 8b fowl adenovirus
In recent years, hepatitis-hydropericardium syndrome (HHS) and inclusion body hepatitis (IBH) caused by serotype 4 fowl adenovirus (FAdV-4) and serotype 8b fowl adenovirus (FAdV-8b), respectively, are widely prevalent in China, causing huge economic losses to the poultry industry.Numerous studies have revealed the mechanism of the infection and pat
Perspectives on the Pseudomonas aeruginosa Type III Secretion System Effector ExoU and Its Subversion of the Host Innate Immune Response to Infection
Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an opportunistic, Gram-negative pathogen and an important cause of hospital acquired infections, especially in immunocompromised patients.Highly virulent P.aeruginosa strains use a type III secretion system (T3SS) to inject Other Eye Support Products exoenzyme effectors directly into the cytoplasm of a target host cell.P.a
