The aim of this paper is to present the structure of a new synchronous machine with stator ferrite permanent magnets and a salient passive rotor (a robust and low-cost technology) which, when supplied with current by a threephase bridge converter, produces continuous torque. This feature serves to place our machine on a par with the best synchronous machines available (e.g. high-energy rotor ma...

In this study, we model a sequence of confined and full eruption, employing the relaxed end state eruption kink-unstable flux rope as initial condition for ejective one. The coronal mass ejection, develops result converging motions imposed at photospheric boundary, which drive cancellation. process, parts positive negative external converge toward polarity inversion line, reconnect, cancel each...

This paper deals with the potentials of a Hybrid-Excitation Permanent-Magnet (HEPM) machine. The HEPM machine is characterized by rotor including both permanent magnets (PMs) and excitation coils. PMs produce constant flux at air gap machine, while an current supplied so as to regulate such flux. A increase could be necessary during transient overload operations, decrease useful Flux-Weakening ...

This chapter focuses on some new definitions and methodologies of electric drives that are facing new challenges raised by alternative fuel vehicles. It starts with the objectives, fundamentals, and current research issues of alternative fuel vehicles based electric drives, before moving on to new definitions of unified modeling of the entire electric drive system and design of the proposed DC ...

Stonitsch and Markowski perform multiple-Doppler radar analyses of a cold front over Oklahoma and Kansas. Despite their interesting results, their explanations include a number of misconceptions about cold fronts. These misconceptions include the proper interpretation of the frontogenesis function, the role of entrainment versus differential surface sensible heat flux toward weakening the virtu...

In a model of ocean-atmosphere interaction that excluded biological processes, the oceanic uptake of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) was substantially reduced in scenarios involving global warming relative to control scenarios. The primary reason for the reduced uptake was the weakening or collapse of the ocean thermohaline circulation. Such a large reduction in this ocean uptake would have a ...

One person’s fight against an HIV infection can decrease the virus’s ability to threaten its next victim, say Goepfert et al. (page 1009). Mutations that help the virus survive in one host decrease its ability to replicate in the next. HIV mutations that help the virus bypass the host’s immune system often fall within gag. This gene is a favorite target for mutations because, for some reason, G...
