This paper presents preliminary evidence on the internal consistency and validity of a scale designed to measure the degree to which one believes women managers experience a greater number of obstacles and more critical judgments about their work performance as compared to managerial men (the Stereotype Beliefs about Women Managers scale; SBWMS). Survey data from 1337 managerial and nonmanageri...

Egypt is moving towards smart grid infrastructures to enable efficient bidirectional power supply with reduced carbon footprint. The target smart grid will feature distributed energy generation with renewable energy systems. With the improvement of wind power technology in Egypt, increase of wind power capacity, the impact of wind power on the grid has become an important research topic as well...

“If the manufacturing sector is to survive over the next two decades, it will have to undergo dramatic changes in technological, environmental, economic, and social terms.” This is the main conclusion of ManuFuture, which is an evaluation of the European manufacturing industry over the next 20 years, funded by the European Commission. Thus, future manufacturing will require higher flexibility, ...

Abstract In an attempt to further simplify and refine the modeling of soil thermal conductivity ( ? ), two novel weighted average models (WAMs) were developed in which solids represent continuous phase. first model, WAM s -1, phase consists distinctive minerals groups (quartz compounded remaining minerals), while air water are treated as dispersed components. second -2, all considered phase, co...

The results of low-frequency oscillations identification in the Republic Kazakhstan power grid by using a Wide Area Measurement System are presented and an algorithm for damping is proposed this paper. Analysis weakly damped inter-area revealed constant mode with frequency range 0.3‒0.4 Hz. It was determined that at these oscillations, amplitude active fluctuations along transmission line 150 M...
