Numerical Recursive Aggregation of VSC-Based Systems Using Impedance Modeling for Stability Analysis by Taleb Vahabzadeh, Seyyedmilad Ebrahimi, Juri Jatskevich

“…The proposed technique is illustrated on a VSC-based power system with multiple converters considering the interconnecting line impedances. The time-domain simulations and frequency analysis verify the accuracy and effectiveness of the proposed method, demonstrating that it is over 990 times computationally more efficient than the small-signal injection method for calculating the aggregated load admittance while also offering almost 80 times higher frequency resolution.…”

An Autonomous Packet Transmission Strategy for Opportunistic Wireless Sensor Networks by Hakki Soy, Özgür Özdemir, Mehmet Bayrak

“…In our design, we assume that the sensor nodes know only their own channels to the controller node and the packet transfer from the sensor nodes to the controller node is initiated when the channel quality of any node exceeds the predefined threshold at the current time slot. To determine the optimum threshold, we maximize the probability of successful packet transmission where only one sensor node transmits its packet in one time slot under the simplified collision model. …”

Analysis of Distribution Characteristics and Variation Trends of Organic Matters in Panjiakou Reservoir by LI Kun, ZHAO Xiaohui, LI Kelin, ZHANG Panwei, FANG Deng, FAN Yamin, LIU Xiaoru

“…In order to understand the improvement of water environment by cage-cleanup-activities in Panjiakou Reservoir,and to find out the types and characteristics of main pollutants in Panjiakou Reservoir,this paper carries out analysis and research on surface water samples in different time and space in the study area.The water samples of Panjiakou Reservoir in 2017 and 2018 are tested by the high-throughput screening technology of full two-dimensional gas chromatography time-of-flight mass spectrometry.The results are further confirmed by the matching degrees,detection rates and other conditions.The confirmed results are classified according to the chemical properties and purposes,and the final results are used to analyze the trend of pollutant species change.Compared with the test results in 2017,there were 244 compounds reduced in 2018,including 38 ketones,27 alkanes,26 phenols,21 ethers,15 organic acids,etc.Among them,25 for industrial intermediates,14 for flavors and fragrances,12 for food additives,8 for industrial use,6 for pharmaceutical products,14 for plasticizers,and so on.Compared with the results in 2017,there were 22 compounds increased in 2018,including 10 esters,3 ketones,2 ethers,1 benzene,1 alcohol, 1 aldehyde,1 organic acid,etc.…”

Comparison of tensile strength and fracture toughness under mode I and II loading of co-cured and co-bonded CFRP joints by Alessandro Pirondi, Fabrizio Moroni, Chiara Pernechele, Arturo Gaita, Luca Vescovi

“…However, the choice of bonding CFRP should be evaluated as alternative to direct curing in terms of strength and durability, compared to cost and manufacturing time and complexity. In this work, a comparison between co-cured and co-bonded CFRP is done with respect to tensile strength and mode I and mode II fracture toughness, in order to understand whether co-bonding guarantees the same performance of a co-cured composite part.…”
