Copyright @ 2004 IEEEA method is presented for finding the optimum fixed LC compensator for power factor correction of nonlinear loads where both source voltage and load current harmonics are present. The LC combination is selected because pure capacitive capacitors alone would not sufficiently correct the power factor. Optimization minimizes the transmission loss, maximizes the power factor, and maximizes the efficiency. The performance of the obtained compensator is discussed by means of numerical examples

Copyright @ 2004 IEEEThis paper presents a method employing the penalty function search algorithm to determine the LC compensator value for the optimal power factor correction in nonsinusoidal systems. The objective of the proposed method is to minimize the transmission loss while the power factor and efficiency are taken as constraints and utilized in order to solve the multiobjective optimization problem by transforming it into a single objective one. Examples show that the load nonlinearity can have a significant impact on optimal compensator sizes

Maternal separation disrupts noradrenergic control of adult coping behaviors
Early life stress (ELS) profoundly impacts the brain and correlates with negative affective behaviors in adulthood. The locus coeruleus (LC), a stress-responsive brainstem nucleus that supplies most of the brain with norepinephrine (NE), is known to modulate negative affect. Using repeated maternal separation stress (MSS), we investigated the impact of ELS on the LC and stress-related behaviors in adulthood. We performed ex vivo cell-attached electrophysiology across the lifespan to reveal that MSS significantly increased LC firing during early development and adulthood but not in pre-adolescence and adolescence. We next examined potential changes in the expression of genes linked to LC function. In adulthood, MSS decreased mRNA levels for both the alpha-
