Free vascularized fibular graft can be transferred to reconstruct skeletal defects of the extremities. It may be combined with skin, fascia, muscle, and growth-plate tissue to address the needs of the recipient site. It may be cut transversely and folded to reconstruct the length and width of tibial or femoral defects....

Optimal reactive power and voltage control for distribution system involves the installation of fixed shunt capacitors and tap changing voltage regulators along distribution feeders. This can improve voltage profiles for all end-use customers and reduce real power losses....

This book presents an efficient meta-heuristic method for distribution systems reconfiguration for lower losses and better voltage profile. A modified Tabu Search (MTS) algorithm is used to reconfigure distribution systems so that active power losses are minimized with turning on/off sectionalizing switches....

Many applications in communications and radars require circular or dual linear polarization, and the flexibility afforded by microstrip antenna technology has led to a wide variety of designs and techniques to fill this need. In recent years, the demand for compact mobile telephone handsets has grown....
