background: men are unavoidably exposed to ambient electromagnetic fields (emf) generated from various electrical gadgets and from power transmission lines. prostate gland plays an important role in secretion of semen as largest accessory gland of male reproductive system. it seems that protection of this gland against emf is important in spermatogenesis process. objective: the goal of this stu...

This paper discusses aspects of outages in the electric transmission network in the Kosovo Power System caused by the atmospheric discharges. Frequency and location of the atmospheric discharges in Kosovo territory will be provided by a lightning location system ALARM (Automated Lightning Alert and Risk Management) and from the data from the Meteorological Department in Prishtina International ...

We consider an energy-efficient video streaming system where source coding, channel coding, and transmission power allocation are jointly designed to compensate for channel errors. Our focus is on streaming applications with relatively strict delay constraints; for such applications, forward error correction (FEC) is the preferred channel coding technique to recover from packet losses. We propo...

This work analyzes the error statistics of the UMTS radio communication at link-level and how it is affected by the power control, by means of measurements and simulations. This information allows to optimize transmission power and to apply cross-layer optimization techniques such as unequal error protection. By use of a high-level Markov model we perform simulations and besides we provide an a...

In a competitive market where generating companies compete for loads with open access to the transmission network, the protection and control techniques in use take on a special significance. In this new environment there are two issues which are related to the uses of real-time measurements. First, there is the possibility that the preset control and protection decisions do not necessarily per...

Resilient and reliable operation of cyber physical systems of societal importance such as Smart Electric Grids is one of the top national priorities. Due to their critical nature, these systems are equipped with fast-acting, local protection mechanisms. However, commonly misguided protection actions together with system dynamics can lead to un-intentional cascading effects. This paper describes...
