Optimal Corrective Rescheduling Of Real And Reactive Powers For Power System Security Enhancement., A. Aly

Mansoura Engineering Journal

This paper presents an optimal technique for solving the corrective rescheduling problem in power system. A successive dual linear programming approach is used with linearized power flow model. The system real and reactive power generations and transformer tap ratios are optimized within their operating limits so that no limit voilations of the line flow and bus voltage magnitudes in either the base case and contengency cases. The rest results on IEEE-30 bus test system show that the proposed technique can be successfully employed in conjunction with any fast security assessment scheme for a fast on-line security assessment and control.

Measles Eradication: Let's Root Out Measles, Ring-Vaccinate Hotspots, And Eradicate This Deadly Scourge Forever, Benjamin Sievers

2021 Claremont Colleges Library Undergraduate Research Award

Amidst an unremitting pandemic, we have become amatuer virologists. Let's now summon our collective spirit and wipe measles from our planet. Why measles? Well, it is a dreadful and deeply impactful infection. First, it kills over 200,000 children every year. Those who survive infection often subsequently experience profound “immune amnesia” that puts them at increased risk from other infections. All of this can be prevented through safe and effective measles vaccination. It is unconscionable that more children worldwide are now dying from measles than in nearly a quarter-century. Second, thanks to our current pandemic, shared interest in virology and vaccine …

Hillis Hadjo, known in English as Francis the Prophet, was a Creek chief of considerable prominence. When the famous Indian Tecumseh visited the Creek Indians during the opening phase of the War of 1812 to enlist them in the cause of the British, Francis became his convert. He was then living near the Chattahoochee river in the present state of Alabama. In the campaign of General Andrew Jackson in 1813-14 against the Creeks, Francis was driven into Spanish Florida and finally took up his abode near the Spanish Fort St. Marks.

Florida Historical Quarterly

Here is a man who was an English colonial by birth, a Spanish citizen by naturalization, and died an American citizen by virtue of the treaty through which the United States acquired the Floridas. All occurred in St. Augustine!-though some of his mature years were spent in Fernandina and in St. Marys, Georgia.

A Lion’S Blues: Heroism, Heroic Self-Representations, And Emotional Distress In The Life And Character Of Yonatan (Yoni) Netanyahu, Golan Shahar, Raz Bauminger, Shai Itamar

Heroism Science

The realization that heroism – representing either a trait or a value system – is potentially pernicious is important for both scientific and societal reasons. In this article, we adopt a psychobiographical perspective to analyze the character and life of one of Israel’s greatest heroes, Yonathan (“Yoni”) Netanyahu. Yoni was an illustrious military leader, as well as an outstanding intellectual and adored persona. He served as the commander of the special operation forces spearheading the famous Entebbe Operation during which Israeli commando forces rescued hostages taken captive in Uganda. Yoni was the only military causality in this operation, which was …

Value Creation By Private Equity Firms: A Resource-Based View, Kei Pang

Dissertations

Despite the growing importance of the private equity (PE) industry in the United States, it is unclear how PE firms create value. This study contributes to the PE literature and strategic management research by examining PE firm resources and competencies that drive the success of equity-backed management buyout deals. Specifically, my work proposes a framework to describe the key value creation drivers and sub-drivers that position PE firms for success in all four stages of the PE value chain: Fund Raising, Deal Sourcing, Governing/Managing, and Exiting. I utilize Porter’s (1985) value chain analysis (VCA) and the resource-based view (RBV) to …

Evaluating The Use Of An Interdependent Group Contingency In Online Graduate Courses To Increase Engagement, Tiana Evans

USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations

Enrollment in online academic programs has increased substantially in recent years (Allen & Seaman, 2011) and is especially relevant due to the COVID-19 pandemic (Khalil et al., 2020). Peer interaction and engagement opportunities are strategies associated with course satisfaction, test performance, and grades and should be incorporated into online courses (Conaway et al. 2005). Group contingencies have been commonly studied in face-to-face classrooms and have been found to be effective intervention in changing target behavior in elementary and secondary education settings (Barrish et al., 1969; Deshais et al., 2019; Harris & Sherman, 1973; Mitchell et al. 2015; Wiskow et al., …

The recent global outbreak of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) has spread to all corners of the globe. The international travel ban, panic buying, and the need for self-quarantine are among the many other social challenges brought about in this new era. Twitter platforms have been used in various public health studies to identify public opinion about an event at the local and global scale. To understand the public concerns and responses to the pandemic, a system that can leverage machine learning techniques to filter out irrelevant tweets and identify the important topics of discussion on social media platforms like Twitter …

Illusional Marketing: The Use Of Storytelling, User Experience And Gamification In Business, Adnan Veysel Ertemel

“This book is a must-have for marketers who need to use a composite set of tools to break through the attention economy. The book is also for the general public who might be concerned about the growing and numbing screen time that takes people away from doing other things.” — Philip Kotler on Illusional Marketing

Digital platforms know how to “hook” consumers and keep them glued to the screen. These products were developed based on psychologists’ research into the way the human brain works. These are new weapons in the marketing toolkit that will become even more effective when combined …

Alternative View Of Oxygen Reduction On Porous Carbon Electrocatalysts: The Substance Of Complex Oxygen-Surface Interactions, Giacomo De Falco, Marc Florent, Jacek Jagiello, Yongqiang Cheng, Luke L. Daemen, Anibal J. Ramirez-Cuesta, Teresa J. Bandosz

Publications and Research

Electrochemical oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) is an important energy-related process requiring alternative catalysts to expensive platinum-based ones. Although recently some advancements in carbon catalysts have been reported, there is still a lack of understanding which surface features might enhance their efficiency for ORR. Through a detailed study of oxygen adsorption on carbon molecular sieves and using inelastic neutron scattering, we demonstrated here that the extent of oxygen adsorption/interactions with surface is an important parameter affecting ORR. It was found that both the strength of O2 physical adsorption in small pores and its specific interactions with surface ether functionalities in the …
