Prioritizing solutions to incorporate Prosthetics and Orthotics services into Iranian health benefits package: Using an analytic hierarchy process. by Saeed Shahabi, Shahina Pardhan, Ahmad Ahmadi Teymourlouy, Dimitrios Skempes, Shabnam Shahali, Parviz Mojgani, Maryam Jalali, Kamran Bagheri Lankarani

“…Even with increasing demands for prosthetics and orthotics (P&O) services to approximately 0.5% of the world's population, only 15% of vulnerable groups have the chance to make use of such benefits. Inadequate coverage of P&O services in the HBP is accordingly one of the leading reasons for this situation in many countries, including Iran.…”

Adaptive DC grid fault reclosing scheme using second-order TET-corrected Reconstructed-traveling-waves by Yu Wang, Zhiying Quan, Ziyi Tan, Jianqiao Zhang, Bing Chen, Ning Tong, Xiaomei Wu

“…The time-domain traveling wave characteristic, i.e. the reconstructed measurement local voltage (RMLV), is then compared with the reconstructed theoretical local voltage (RTLV), enabling the discrimination of fault nature using a low setting threshold. Case studies indicate that the proposed method can discriminate the fault nature of the DC line to be reclosed without relying on communication, eliminates dead zones, and demonstrates a 300-ohms’ resistive coverage along the entire DC line.…”
