Due to the ever increasing demand for power, environmental constraints in expansion of transmission networks and the emerging scenario of restructuring of power system networks, the transmission lines are prone to be operated under heavily stressed conditions. In such a heavily stressed condition, there is a risk of line outage and the consequent voltage instability. This necessitates voltage s...

Amplification of the c-myc gene in the human promyelocytic leukemia cell line HL-60 is considered to be one of the major causes of its malignant phenotype. It is also well known since the establishment of the cell line that a culture of HL-60 cells contains a small but fixed percentage of spontaneously differentiated cells. We show that the spontaneous differentiation could be a result of exten...

In this paper a high performance generalized advanced discontinuous pulse width modulation (ADPWM) algorithm for voltage source inverter (VSI) fed induction motor drives is proposed. The proposed ADPWM method uses two categories of DPWM sequences, 012, 721, 0121 and 7212 which not only reduces the inverter switching losses but also reduces the line current distortion during medium to high speed...

We consider two broad families of non-additive loss functions covering a large number of applications: rational losses and tropical losses. We give new algorithms extending the Followthe-Perturbed-Leader (FPL) algorithm to both of these families of loss functions and similarly give new algorithms extending the Randomized Weighted Majority (RWM) algorithm to both of these families. We prove that...

Aim of the project: The aim of the project is to design a 3-bit UWB Phase-shifter and implement one bit of it on a transmission line. Types of Phase Shifters: The Phase shifters can be grouped in two types. 1. Ferrite Phase Shifters 2. PIN diode phase shifters Ferrite Phase Shifters are activated by a pulsed current and power requirements are usually less than their PIN diode counterparts. Anot...

In this paper the sequential prediction problem with expert advice is considered when the loss is unbounded under partial monitoring scenarios. We deal with a wide class of the partial monitoring problems: the combination of the label efficient and multi-armed bandit problem, that is, where the algorithm is only informed about the performance of the chosen expert with probability ε ≤ 1. For bou...

On-line learning algorithms are increasingly adopted as the key solution to modern learning applications with very large data sets of several hundred million or billion points. These algorithms process one sample at a time with an update per iteration that is often computationally cheap and easy to implement. As a result, they are substantially more efficient both in time and space than standar...

We consider the coherent population trapping phenomenon in a thermal sodium atomic beam. We compare the different coherent population trapping schemes that can be established on the D1 line using the Zeeman sublevels of a given ground hyperfine state. The coherent population trapping preparation is examined by means of a Hanle effect configuration. The efficiency of the coherent population trap...

Earlier work at Texas A&M University led to the development of transmission line fault location algorithms that were based on synchronized sampling of the voltage and current data from the two ends of the line. The line models used in the algorithms were based on lumped parameter models for electrically short lines, or lossless distributed parameter models for electrically long lines. In this p...
