SELECTION OF POWER TRANSFORMERS by A. A. Gonchar

“…The paper reveals that while loading transformers from idle running till nominal value it is preferable to apply transformers with less power losses in steel because total losses of active power in the indicated range are less than in transformers with larger losses in steel.…”

Dynamic simulation of breast behaviour during different activities based on finite element modelling of multiple components of breast by Jiazhen Chen, Zejun Zhong, Yue Sun, Joanne Yip, Kit-lun Yick

“…The comparative analysis reveals that jumping rope generates the highest stress on the breast components, followed by high knee skipping but running exerts the least amount of stress. A positive correlation between activity intensity and stress is observed for running and jumping rope, while high knee skipping shows a peak in stress after a certain threshold. …”

Incremental Graph Regulated Nonnegative Matrix Factorization for Face Recognition by Zhe-Zhou Yu, Yu-Hao Liu, Bin Li, Shu-Chao Pang, Cheng-Cheng Jia

“…Experiments show that (1) the recognition rate of our IGNMF and B-IGNMF algorithms is close to GNMF algorithm while it runs faster than GNMF. (2) The running times of our IGNMF and B-IGNMF algorithms are close to INMF while the recognition rate outperforms INMF. (3) Comparing with other popular NMF-based face recognition incremental algorithms, our IGNMF and B-IGNMF also outperform then both the recognition rate and the running time.…”

The Influence of the Motor Traction Vibration on Fatigue Life of the Bogie Frame of the Metro Vehicle by Qiushi Wang, Jinsong Zhou, Dao Gong, Tengfei Wang, Jiangxue Chen, Taiwen You, Zhanfei Zhang

“…The results show that the energy of the vibration in the frame is mainly concentrated in modes 6 and 7, which are excited by the motor transverse and vertical vibration, respectively, and contribute a lot to the fatigue damage of the frame; the fatigue life of the vital positions of the frame under the traction condition significantly reduces compared to the idle running condition; and the contribution of the low-amplitude vibration above 300 Hz to the fatigue damage can be ignored. …”
