Voltage Stability Assessments and Their Improvement Using Optimal Placed Static Synchronous Compensator (STATCOM) by Tebeje Tesfaw Wondie, Teshome Goa Tella

“…Then, different voltage stability indices, such as the user-defined advanced voltage stability index (AVSI), modified voltage stability index (MVSI), and fast voltage stability index (FVSI), are used to identify the voltage unstable buses. Besides this, particle swarm optimization (PSO) is also used to find the optimal size and placement of the Static Synchronous Compensator (STATCOM) for the most severe buses identified by voltage stability indices. …”

Characterization of Modified Tapioca Starch Solutions and Their Sprays for High Temperature Coating Applications by M. Y. Naz, S. A. Sulaiman, B. Ariwahjoedi, Ku Zilati Ku Shaari

“…It was also predicted that the heated starch adhesive solutions generate a dispersed spray pattern by utilizing the partial evaporation of the spraying medium. Below 40°C of heating temperature, the radial spray cone width and angle did not vary significantly with increasing Reynolds and Weber numbers at early injection phases leading to increased macroscopic spray propagation. …”

Por uma concepção política de conflito escolar by Thiago Colmenero Cunha, Pedro Paulo Gastalho Bicalho

“…Em um espaço em que majoritariamente a normatização é compreendida como cuidado, a fim de controlar e adestrar jovens para se tornarem mão de obra qualificada no futuro, o desvio serve como ponto de partida para definição da norma. O conflito pode ser entendido a partir de um olhar positivista sobre o indivíduo, generalizante, individualista, intimista, representativo – aqui a Psicologia emerge, na medida em que sua intervenção é pautada na prevenção diagnóstica de distúrbio e disfunções. …”

The precipitation of nanocrystalline structure in the joule heated Fe72Al5Ga2P11C6B4 metallic glasses by Mitrović N., Kane S., Roth S., Kalezić-Glišović A., Mickel C., Eckert J.

“…The decrease of the electrical resistivity after each current annealing treatment is rather small in comparison with other Fe-based amorphous alloys (only about 1.5 % for the highest PS). Partial nanocrystallization leads to increase of coercive field (from HC ≈ 7 A/m in the amorphous as-cast state up to 45 A/m) attributed to precipitation of magnetically harder compounds (Fe3B and FeC).…”
