Load modeling is widely used in power system studies. Two types of modeling, namely, static and dynamic, are employed. The current industrial practice is the static modeling. Static modelss are algebraic equations of active and reactive power changes in terms of voltage and frequency deviations. In this paper, a component based on static modeling is employed in which the aggregate model is deri...

A new approach for overcoming the language and culture barriers to participation in Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) is reported. It is hypothesised that the juxtaposition of English as the language of instruction, used for interacting with course materials, and one’s preferred language as the language of participation, used for interaction with peers and facilitators, is preferable to “Engl...

Background: Participation is considered as a pivotal concept in understanding classroom instruction and development of critical thinking skills necessary for students. Students who actively participate in classroom settings will perform far more than those who do not. Therefore, it is important to establish a consensus about the underlying reasons for students' lack of particip...

The Supergen HiDEF (Highly Distributed Energy Future) project focuses on possibilities for decentralising five features of energy systems: resources, control, network infrastructure, participation (markets and commercial arrangements) and policy. This paper concentrates on participation, and the practicalities of an ‘active demand side’. It examines four potential means of altering network and ...

Paediatric spinal cord injury (SCI) can result in permanent mobility impairment with consequences for activity, participation and quality of life. This case documents the effect of an overground supported stepping intervention using a dynamic gait trainer. To our knowledge, there are no published studies on this intervention for children with SCI and similar interventions have only been reporte...

Welfare persistence is estimated and compared between Swedish-born and foreign-born households during the 1990s. This is done within the framework of a dynamic discrete choice model controlling for the initial condition and permanent unobserved heterogeneity. We control for three types of persistence in terms of observed and unobserved heterogeneity, serial correlation, and structural state dep...
