RHO A versus RHO C. (c2014) by Dimassi, Saleh B. Al

“…In this study we aim to look at the role both Rho A and Rho C play in protrusion formation where we found that upon RhoA knockdown protrusions are no longer formed, using 2D time lapse microscopy that shows the depletion of RhoA and RhoC leads to the decrease in 2D motility, RhoA knockdown decreases adhesion of cells in contrast RhoC knockdown increases adhesion of astrocytoma, and FRET based biosensors. …”

A control algorithm to increase the efficient operation of wind energy conversion systems under extreme wind conditions by Nyam Jargalsaikhan (17380429)

“…<p dir="ltr">This paper aims to increase the power production of gearless permanent magnet synchronous generator (PMSG) based wind energy conversion systems (WECS) in strong (greater than 25 m/s) wind speed regions. In general, most wind turbines cut off when wind speed is over the cut-out rate; as a result, the power generation of the wind farm decreases. …”
