Supradapedon revisited: geological explorations in the Triassic of southern Tanzania

The upper Triassic deposits of the Selous Basin in south Tanzania have not been prospected for fossil tetrapods since the middle of last century, when Gordon M. Stockley collected two rhynchosaur bone fragments from the so called "Tunduru beds". Here we present the results of a field trip conducted in July 2015 to the vicinities of Tunduru and Msamara, Ruvuma Region, Tanzania, in search for sim...

Explorations and Extensions of

In this thesis we further develop the theory of synchrony and Synchronic Modal Equivalencing (SME), as applied to models of power system dynamics. First, we extend the SME partitioning algorithm to include the grouping of load buses. The generalized eigenanalysis setup previously used for load bus grouping in slow coherency is adapted to the synchrony framework. The extended SME partitioning al...
