Orthogonal Components Forming of the Microprocessor-Based Protection Input Signals by F. A. Romaniuk, V. Yu. Rumiantsev, Yu. V. Rumiantsev, V. S. Kachenya

“…For the construction of high-speed measuring devices, this time of establishing the true output signal is often unacceptable. The article proposes to form the equivalent signal OS in microprocessor defenses based on the values of the cosine and sine axes of the main harmonic formed using a discrete Fourier transform, by multiplying them by a correction factor, which is a function of the values of the input signal amplitude and its main harmonic. …”

Cool Mix Asphalt—Redefining Warm Mix Asphalt with Implementations in Korea, Italy and Vietnam by Hosin (David) Lee, Lan Ngoc Nguyen, Elena Sturlini, Young-ik Kim

“…Not only are the temperature reduction ranges from HMA defined by various studies too wide, but also the minimum threshold to be classified as WMA is often too small. In this paper, a new category of “Cool Mix Asphalt (CMA)” is proposed to distinguish it from the newly defined WMA based not on the reduction amount from HMA temperature but its actual production temperature. …”
