A Note on Branch Flow Models with Line Shunts [PDF]
When the shunt elements in the Pi circuit line model are assumed zero, it has been proved that branch flow models are equivalent to bus injection models and that the second-order cone relaxation of optimal power flow problems on a radial network is exact under certain conditions.

Hepatic First-Pass Clearance of Oral Galactose and its Potential Use in the Assessment of Portasystemic Shunting in Portal Hypertension [PDF]
Portasystemic shunting is an important consequence of all diseases that lead to portal hypertension. The clinical-pathological problems associated with portasystemic shunting, such as hepatic encephalopathy and oesophageal varices, remain a potent cause ...

Overview of Surgical Simulation [PDF]
Motivated by the current demand of clinical governance, surgical simulation is now a well-established modality for basic skills training and assessment. The practical deployment of the technique is a multi-disciplinary venture encompassing areas in engineering, medicine and psychology.

Design and Simulation of a Shunt Active Filter in Application for Control of Harmonic Levels [PDF]
Nowadays, the active filters represent a viable alternative for controlling harmonic levels in industrial consumers electrical installations. It must be noted the availability of many different types of filter configurations that can be used but there is no standard method for rating the active filters. This paper focuses on describing the shunt active

Surgical portosystemic shunts versus devascularisation procedures for prevention of variceal rebleeding in people with hepatosplenic schistosomiasis [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Hepatosplenic schistosomiasis is an important cause of variceal bleeding in low-income countries. Randomised clinical trials have evaluated the outcomes of two categories of surgical interventions, shunts and devascularisation procedures ...

Stabilization of unstable periodic orbits in dc drives [PDF]
Electric drive using dc shunt motor or permanent magnet dc (PMDC) motor as prime mover exhibits bifurcation and chaos. The characteristics of dc shunt and PMDC motors are linear in nature. These motors are controlled by pulse width modulation (PWM) technique with the help of semiconductor switches.
