Leukocyte-common antigen related (LAR)-like phosphatase receptors are conserved cell adhesion molecules that function in multiple developmental processes. The Caenorhabditis elegans ptp-3 gene encodes two LAR family isoforms differ the extracellular domain. We show here long isoform, PTP-3A, localizes specifically at synapses and short PTP-3B, is extrasynaptic. Mutations cause defects axon guidance can be rescued by PTP-3B but not PTP-3A. affect ptp-3A do instead alterations synapse...

The C. elegans genome encodes a single Eph receptor tyrosine kinase, VAB-1, which functions in neurons to control epidermal morphogenesis. Four members of the ephrin family ligands for receptors have been identified elegans. Three ephrins (EFN-1/VAB-2, EFN-2 and EFN-3) previously shown function VAB-1 signaling. We show that mutations gene mab-26 affect fourth elegansephrin, EFN-4. efn-4 also embryonic morphogenesis, it is expressed developing nervous system. Interestingly, display...

This paper presents a new simple approach for computing the minimum value of capacitance necessary to initiate self-excitation process in three-phase isolated induction generators. The method proposed this is based on analysis complex impedance matrix generator when loaded with general inductive load. advantage its simplicity since it involves algebraic equations and only one equation solved iteratively get capacitance. A computer algorithm has been developed predict onset self-excitation....

Receptor-like protein-tyrosine phosphatases (RPTPs) form a diverse family of cell surface molecules whose functions remain poorly understood. The LAR subfamily RPTPs has been implicated in axon guidance and neural development. Here we report the molecular genetic analysis C. elegans member PTP-3. PTP-3 isoforms are expressed many tissues early embryogenesis, later become localized to neuronal processes epithelial adherens junctions. Loss function ptp-3 causes low-penetrance defects...

Wind Energy is an intermittent and unpredictable resource. During the high penetration of wind power into grid, turbines can affect quality substantially. Voltage fluctuations or flicker, Harmonics Inter-harmonics, drops are all present in this environment. Subsequent affects on active reactive power, lead to degrading grid protection increased reconnection time. storage systems (ESS) with variable speed (VSWT) such as a Doubly Fed Induction Generator (DFIG) Permanent Magnetic Synchronous...

AT PRESENT, all insulating materials are classified by chemical composition into groups with specified maximum operating temperatures. Because many materials, especially those in the organic group, differ widely their stability toward heat aging, these definitions have become too restrictive. To replace this system, a new method of classification is proposed based on ability material to perform an insulation function. This intended apply specifically random wound induction motors approximate...
