A Dynamic Modeling Approach: Simplifying DFIG Theory, Simulation, and Analysis by Mehmet Dal, Ralph M. Kennel

“…The stand-alone model consists of a hybrid modeling approach and more closely resembles the real structure of a stand-alone DFIG system. The modeling technique used for the stand-alone DFIG provides a practical, non-mathematical way to solve the challenge of defining the dynamic equation of the stator voltage when different sizes and types of loads are connected to the stator. …”

On the nature of picobirnaviruses by A. Yu. Kashnikov, N. V. Epifanova, N. A. Novikova

“…The data presented in the review show that the belonging of PBV­like progeny to prokaryotic or eukaryotic viruses is determined not only by its genome saturation level with a prokaryotic motif, standard or mitochondrial genetic code. The primary structure of the gene encoding the viral capsid protein responsible for the presence or absence of specific proteolytic properties of the virus that determine its ability for independent horizontal transmission into new cells may also be a decisive factor.…”
