Multistability of synchronous modes in a multimachine power grid with a common load and their global and non-local stability by Khramenkov, Vladislav Anatolevich, Dmitrichev, Aleksej Sergeevich, Nekorkin, Vladimir Isaakovich

“…The purpose of this work is studying the dynamics of the power grid consisting of an arbitrary number of synchronous generators supplying a common passive linear load. We focus on searching the conditions for the existence and stability of synchronous modes, i.e. the main operating modes of a power grid. …”

Life-saving furniture during an earthquake. Intelligent, interconnected and interacting by Lucia Pietroni, Jacopo Mascitti, Daniele Galloppo

“…A systemic and interdisciplinary approach to the design of ‘anti-seismic’ furniture for public contexts, such as schools and offices, in areas of high risk, could be an alternative solution for the protection of people, developing a system of smart and interconnected furniture capable of acting as a life-saving passive protection device. The furniture thus conceived becomes a product-service useful for safeguarding, locating and finding people under the rubble and monitoring the building. …”

Two Kinds of Hydrogen Monomers Manifested in Plasma-Exposed Silicon by Vladimir V. Voronkov

“…In boron-doped silicon annealed in a plasma ambient (at 150°C), the reported hydrogen concentration profile and the hole profile cannot be simultaneously fitted assuming only one kind of in-diffusing hydrogen ions H+ of a definite parameter D+K (where D+ is the diffusivity of H+ and K is the equilibrium dissociation constant of the HB defect, the passivated boron). A good fit is possible only assuming two independent kinds of H+—one of a larger value of D+K and the other—of a smaller value. …”
