Alternative energy: Winding up

Better Winding Up

An evaluation problem exists when winding up executory contracts in case of insolvency. The trustee has difficulties in accurately considering the claim for damages that arises if he chooses to reject a contract instead of accepting it. An unequal treatment of creditors and inefficiencies follow. However, a simple reform can solve this problem. If an executory contract is accepted by the truste...

Multi-phase alternative current machine winding design

In this paper, a generalized formula is proposed for the selection of number of slots required for n-phase alternative current (AC) machine design and the criterion for selecting the starting points of each phases. The analytical model is verified using a four-pole machine with a 36-slot stator. Each coil of the stator winding of this machine is brought out to a patch board that enables the sta...

Cartelized Oil Market with Alternative Energy Supply

This paper presents an oil price cartel model. The aggregate reaction functions for non-cartel producers and for substitute suppliers are included. The former group acts as a price-taker, while the latter expects oil prices in production of its non-oil energy resources. This expectation about prices affects a cartel’s oil demand and, thus, gives intertemporal price elasticities It turns out tha...

Winding Up the Internal Circadian Clock and Preterm Ductus

The circadian system regulates many aspects of physiological functions in human body and requires a delicate interplay between suprachiasmatic nucleus, pineal gland, melatonin and clock genes. Maturation and synchronization of the fetal circadian system is mostly governed by maternal master clock and needs a complete and uncomplicated intrauterine life. Premature birth is being born not only wi...
