Optimal Service Restoration Scheme for Radial Distribution Network Using Teaching Learning Based Optimization

open access: yesEnergies, 2022
In the event of a fault isolation process, all loads located downstream from the faulted point become out of service, and as a consequence, the power interruption affects a greater portion of the radial distribution system. This paper proposes an optimal

Embolic Protection Devices

open access: yesJournal of Interventional Cardiology, 2002
The limiting factor in coronary artery bypass surgery is the relatively rapid progression of atheromatous disease in the saphenous vein grafts. Greater than one‐half of these vein grafts will fail by 10 years, and the risks associated with repeat coronary artery bypass surgery are significantly greater than that of the initial surgery.
