PAAm-kappa carrageenan composites: drying and swelling with various kappa carrageenan contents
(Polish Acad Sciences Inst Physics, 2012)
The purpose of this study is to discuss the role of kappa-carrageenan (kappa-car) in the drying and swelling of polyacrylamide (PAAm)-kappa-car composite. The fluorescence intensity of pyranine increased and decreased as ...
Branch outage simulation based contingency screening by gravitational search algorithm
(Praise Worthy Prize Srl, 2012)
Power systems contingency analysis is an important issue for electric power system operators. This paper performs branch outage simulation based contingency screening using a bounded network approach. Local constrained ...
