Arc Tracking between Space Cables due to Electrostatic Discharge

Assessing Deterioration of ADSS Fiber Optic Cables Due to Corona Discharge

1 Electrostatic Discharge

600 B.C. Thales of Miletus discovers electrostatic attraction. 1600 A.D. William Gilbert proposes the ‘‘electric fluid’’ model. 1620 A.D. Niccolo Cabeo discusses ‘‘attractive’’ and ‘‘repulsive’’ phenomena. 1729 A.D. Stephen Gray demonstrates ‘‘electricity’’ can be transferred by wires. 1733 A.D. Charles Francois du Fay discusses two kinds of electricity—‘‘resinous’’ and ‘‘vitreous.’’ 1749 A.D. ...

Bilateral Macular Hemorrhage Due to Welding Arc: A Case Report

Background and Objective: Non-ionized radiation from arc welding may cause retinal lesions such as photo retinitis. In this report, a patient with bilateral macular bleeding which had been caused by inappropriate use of protective safety glasses is introduced. Case Report: On 26 July 2008 a 23-year-old male with blurred vision was referred to Shahid Beheshti's faculty of Rehabilitation Clinic....

Deformation Due to Inclined Loads in Thermoporoelastic Half Space

The present investigation is concerned with the deformation of thermoporoelastic half space with incompressible fluid as a result of inclined load of arbitrary orientation. The inclined load is assumed to be linear combination of normal load and tangential load. The Laplace and Fourier transform technique are used to solve the problem. The concentrated force, uniformly distributed force and a m...

Electrostatic Discharge Effects in Thin Film Transistors

Cover page: The cover photo is taken during Liquid Crystal Hot Spot measurements on a fingerprint sensor. Thank you! It rained for four years, eleven months and two days. There were periods of drizzle during which everyone put on his full dress and a convalescent look to celebrate the clearing, but people soon grew accustomed to interpret the pauses as a sign of redoubled rain. This is how a ch...
