Design And Implementation Of Dstatcom For Fast Load Compensation Of Unbalanced Loads, Wei-Neng Chang, Kuan-Dih Yeh Dec 2009

Design And Implementation Of Dstatcom For Fast Load Compensation Of Unbalanced Loads, Wei-Neng Chang, Kuan-Dih Yeh

Journal of Marine Science and Technology–Taiwan

This paper proposes a distribution level static synchronous compensator (DSTATCOM) for fast load compensation of unbalanced loads in electric power distribution systems. For fast response requirement, a new feedforward compensation scheme is derived and employed in the paper. First, the compensation scheme of the DSTATCOM is derived with the symmetrical components method. Then, computer simulation with the program Matlab/Simulink preliminarily verifies the effectiveness of the proposed DSTATCOM. Accordingly, a hardware prototype is built with a floating-point DSP TMS320C6711-based system. Use of a current-regulated PWM (CRPWM) inverter as the power stage of the DSTATCOM generates needed compensation currents for real-time load …

As [the Victim] was not well prepared and fully dressed with PPE, he has got severe injures to face, eyes and forehead.


Production Of Iron Using Environmentally-Benign Renewable Or Recycled Reducing Agents, Timothy C. Eisele, Surendra Komar Kawatra Dec 2009

Production Of Iron Using Environmentally-Benign Renewable Or Recycled Reducing Agents, Timothy C. Eisele, Surendra Komar Kawatra

Michigan Tech Patents

To produce metallic iron from iron ore, a composition comprising a mass of material formed from a mixture of iron ore particles and particles of a reductant that is either a biomass material in particulate form or a plastic resinous material in particulate form is used. The reductant can also be a mixture of biomass material and resin in any proportions. The mass of material comprises at least one body having a shape adapted for smelting such as pellets, briquettes, pieces or lumps. The pellets have sufficient cohesion to maintain the shape into which they have been formed. The invention …


A Cultural History Of Jews In California, William F. Deverell Dec 2009

A Cultural History Of Jews In California, William F. Deverell

The Jewish Role in American Life: An Annual Review

The aim of this collection of essays is to stress the cultural aspects of the Jewish experience of coming to, and living in, the Golden State. The contributors explore how the Jews who settled in California helped shape the state's culture and were, in turn, molded by cultural influences that were uniquely Californian. While this volume looks at the Jewish experience in California in general, particular emphasis is placed on Southern California where the Casden Institute, originators of The Jewish Role in American Life series of annual reviews, is based. The collection presents choice snapshots of how life developed and …

Development Of A Methodology For Numerical Simulation Of A D C Arc Discharge In A Liquid Dielectric, Christopher James Lewis Dec 2009

Development Of A Methodology For Numerical Simulation Of A D C Arc Discharge In A Liquid Dielectric, Christopher James Lewis

Theses and Dissertations

The majority of literature regarding the numerical simulation of arc discharges in gaseous environments has used a plasma physics approach. Virtually all simulations treat the discharge as an idealized gaseous plasma, which can be described by temperature, pressure, and electric field. This approach can work well if the media is a shielding gas such as Argon; however, the approach does not work well for processes such as underwater welding, EDM, and underwater discharges used to generate high purity particles. The reason these discharges do not have many extensive simulation efforts as described in the literature is because they occur in …


Simulation Model To Investigate Flexible Workload Management For Healthcare And Servicescape Environment, Michael Thorwarth, Paul Harper, Amr Arisha Dec 2009

Simulation Model To Investigate Flexible Workload Management For Healthcare And Servicescape Environment, Michael Thorwarth, Paul Harper, Amr Arisha

Conference papers

High demand and poor staffing conditions cause avoidable pressure and stress among healthcare personnel which results in burnout symptoms and unplanned absenteeism which are hidden cost drivers. The work environment within an emergency department is commonly arranged in a flexible workload which is highly dynamic and complex for the outside observer. Using detailed simulation modeling within structured modeling methods, a comprehensive model to characterize the nurses' time utilization in such flexible dynamic workload environment was investigated. The results have been used to derive a generalized analytic expression that describes certain settings that lead to an instable queuing system with serious …


The Acs Survey Of Galactic Globular Clusters. Ix. Horizontal Branch Morphology And The Second Parameter Phenomenon, Aaron Dotter, Ata Sarajedini, Jay Anderson, Antonio Aparicio, Luigi R. Bedin, Brian Chaboyer Dec 2009

The Acs Survey Of Galactic Globular Clusters. Ix. Horizontal Branch Morphology And The Second Parameter Phenomenon, Aaron Dotter, Ata Sarajedini, Jay Anderson, Antonio Aparicio, Luigi R. Bedin, Brian Chaboyer

Dartmouth Scholarship

The horizontal branch (HB) morphology of globular clusters (GCs) is most strongly influenced by metallicity. The second parameter phenomenon, first described in the 1960s, acknowledges that metallicity alone is not enough to describe the HB morphology of all GCs. In particular, astronomers noticed that the outer Galactic halo contains GCs with redder HBs at a given metallicity than are found inside the solar circle. Thus, at least a second parameter was required to characterize HB morphology. While the term "second parameter" has since come to be used in a broader context, its identity with respect to the original problem has …

Giant Synovial Cell Sarcoma Of The Thorax In A 46-Year-Old Man: A Case Report., Saulat Hasnain Fatimi, Taimur Saleem

Department of Surgery Docs

Background:Although synovial cell sarcoma is a common tumor of the extremities, its occurrence in the thorax has been less frequently documented. Case Presentation: A 46-year-old Pakistani man presented with a 2 month history of progressively increasing cough and left lower chest pain. Initial evaluation was done using a chest x-ray, the Patient was found to have a large mass involving the lower portion of the left chest. A computed tomography scan was performed next which showed a large mass involving the left chest wall with invasion into the pericardium and left hemidiaphragm. En bloc surgical resection of the tumor …

An Investigation Into Rewriting A Security Policy For Loreto College, Paul M. Mwai Dec 2009

An Investigation Into Rewriting A Security Policy For Loreto College, Paul M. Mwai

Regis University Student Publications (comprehensive collection)

Computers as well as the networking environments in which they operate have evolved into highly sophisticated and complex systems. The intricacy of these systems and especially the relationship between them forms the greatest area of vulnerabilities for organizations. (Whitman and Mattord, 2004) Information needs to be transmitted to and from the organization, and thus may be vulnerable within certain stages along the communications line. If at any stage of the process, the information is compromised, it could have a negative impact on the entire organization. Protective measures such as disaster recover plans, encryption/ decryption, and information system security controls, can …

Faculty Articles

The 2008 campaign for the presidency should remind Americans that mixing religion and politics can be dangerous Polls show that more than half of American voters would hesitate to support a Mormon candidate In terms of Establishment Clause doctrine the entanglements prong of the Lemon test provides a mechanism for protecting political equality by ensuring against religiouslyinspired political divisiveness Yet in recent years numerous scholars and Supreme Court Justices have attacked the entanglements prong Indeed the Court has poked so many holes in the entanglements inquiry that it may no longer exist This Article defends the politicaldivisiveness component of the …
