Disturbance-Learning Inertia Estimation Using Artificial Neural Networks For Power System Stability, Sospeter Igaanja Gabriel, Francis Mwasilu, Peter Makolo Dr.

Tanzania Journal of Engineering and Technology (TJET)

ABSTRACT

Power systems are progressively shifting towards low inertia as a result of incorporating significant amounts of intermittent and converter-based renewable energy sources, such as wind and solar power, into the current power grid network. This integration poses considerable problems to inertia and frequency control within the network due to a reduction in the proportion of synchronous generators. Furthermore, rapid frequency deviations occur due to the disparity between supply and demand during contingencies, complicating the maintenance of frequency stability within the power system. The disturbance-learning inertia estimation method for power system stability is presented. The simulation analysis is performed using …

Multiscale Thermal Performance Transfer In Fly-Ash-Modified Recycled Fine Aggregate Concrete For Climate-Dependent Wall Response, Jiayu Zhao, Norul Wahida Kamaruzaman

Platform: A Journal of Engineering (PAJE)

This study develops a multiscale analytical framework to quantify how thermal conductivity changes in fly-ash-modified recycled fine aggregate concrete (FA-RFAC) transfer to wall and climate-response scales. Five conductivity scenarios (0.60–1.40 W/(m·K)) were evaluated using a standardised multi-layer reference wall, and transfer was quantified using local transfer elasticity and a finite-change thermal-performance retention factor. The resulting wall U-values were combined with heating and cooling degree-days for Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou. The local transfer elasticity was mathematically equivalent to the fraction of total wall resistance provided by the FA-RFAC layer. At the reference conductivity of 1.00 W/(m·K), FA-RFAC and rock wool contributed …

Event-Resolved Rqdf Characterisation Of Berea Sandstone: Distinguishing Pore-Structure Similarity From Scale-Dependent Variability, Walid Mohamed Mahmud

Platform: A Journal of Engineering (PAJE)

This paper applies the Rate-Controlled-Porosimetry Quantitative Descriptor Framework (RQDF) to four Berea sandstone core plugs. Events were identified using an automated, prominence-based detection algorithm, which was validated against an independently documented manual event count for two of the four plugs. The finding is an empirical shape-scale separation among these four plugs. Descriptors that are invariant by construction under rescaling of the underlying pore-size distributions, namely event-size entropy, distributional and power-law exponents, and curve-region saturation boundaries, reproduce across the four plugs with a coefficient of variation below 8%.

Strengthening The Philippines' Agri-Fishery Rde System: A Case Study Of A Public Coordinating Agency As A Bridging Organization, Cynthia Remedios V. De Guia, Luis Rey I. Velasco, Maria Faina L. Diola

Journal of Public Affairs and Development

The Philippine agricultural research, development, and extension (RDE) system has long struggled to live up to its ideals. Decades after the passage of the Agriculture and Fishery Modernization Act (AFMA), the RDE system was reported to have failed to innovate, largely because it failed to translate research into development outcomes. This has resulted from persistent gaps in knowledge exchange, institutional linkages, and collaboration among system actors. In fragmented systems, meaningful interaction and trust seldom emerge spontaneously, making bridging mechanisms necessary. Bridging organizations (BOs) play this role by connecting multiple and diverse actors, mediating relationships, enabling knowledge flows, and enhancing capacities …

Modelling Acute Haemorrhagic Conjunctivitis In East Africa: An Integrated Approach To Transmission Dynamics And Outbreak Response Strategies, Geofrey Wingi Sikazwe

Tanzania Journal of Science

Acute hemorrhagic conjunctivitis (AHC) poses a significant global health risk, with the potential for rapid spread during outbreaks. For instance, a localized outbreak in Yunnan Province, China, recorded infection rates of up to 48%, illustrating how transmission can intensify under favourable epidemiological and environmental conditions. Existing mathematical models of AHC transmission overlook seasonal variations, a critical factor in epidemic spread. This study combines species distribution models (SDMs) and epidemiological modelling to analyse key drivers of AHC in East Africa. We use the SEIR type (Susceptible-Exposed-Infected-Recovered - incorporating waning immunity) framework with temperature-dependent infectivity rate as the key driver of an …

Dynamic Forecasting Of Sovereign Wealth Fund Effects On State-Owned Firm Stocks Using Hybrid Arima–Garch Models, Ananta Hagabean Nasution, Teguh Yudo Wicaksono, Donny Oktavian Syah, Randhy Nugroho

BISNIS & BIROKRASI: Jurnal Ilmu Administrasi dan Organisasi

This study examines the forecasting dynamics of Indonesia's Sovereign Wealth Fund, DANANTARA, on the BUMN-20 Index using a hybrid ARIMA-GARCH model. The establishment of DANANTARA in February 2025 generated mixed reactions among capital market participants, with the Indonesian Stock Exchange suspended trading after share prices declined by more than five percent. Using daily time-series data from June 2018 to August 2026, this study employs a hybrid ARIMA(1,1,3)-GARCH(1,1) framework processed through E-Views 12. The results indicate that the BUMN-20 Index is predominantly driven by broader market movements, as evidenced by the highly significant IHSG return coefficient (β =1.237, p < 0.001). In the mean equation, the DANANTARA announcement and launch events do not produce statistically significant shifts in average returns. However, in the variance equation, the announcement significantly elevated conditional volatility (γ = 0.025, p = 0.009), suggesting heightened market uncertainty. The volatility persistence measure (α + β = 0.952) indicates that shocks to the BUMN-20 Index decay slowly, with a half-life of approximately 14 trading days. The forecasting results suggest a gradually declining trajectory for the index, though this does not imply a causal relationship with DANANTARA. These findings contribute to the literature by demonstrating that the primary channel through which a nascent SWF affects domestic equity markets is volatility rather than returns. The policy implications highlight the importance of for transparent governance and consistent communication in mitigating market uncertainty surrounding DANANTARA's operations.
