This paper proposes an effective and accurate methodology to solve the smart distribution network reconfiguration problem considering distributed generation (DG) placement, whose objective is to minimise power loss and enhance voltage stability.An intelligent optimisation algorithm using the electromagnetism-like mechanism (ELM) is used to effectiv
The environmental and health risks associated with synthetic pesticides have increased the demand for botanical insecticides as safer and biodegradable alternatives to control insect pests in agriculture.Hence in this study, five Meliaceae species were evaluated for their insecticidal activities against the Spodoptera frugiperda and the Plutella xy
Branchial cleft cysts generally occur unilaterally at the lateral aspect of the neck.Bilateral branchial cysts are rare and may have familial associations.We report a rare case of non-syndromic bilateral branchial cyst in a 23-year-old woman Pocket Tool who presented with chronic bilateral, progressively enlarging painless neck swellings.Complete s
The description of previously unknown immature stages of Chroantha ornatula (Herrich-Schaffer, 1842) is given.Collection and observation were made during 1987-2002 in Turkmenistan.Observations on the eggs and larval development were made in the nature and in the laboratory cages.Distribution of the species is reconsidered and its northern border Ce
