Abstract In this paper, we propose a new type of weighted essentially non-oscillatory (WENO) limiter, which belongs to the class of Hermite WENO (HWENO) limiters, for the RungeKutta discontinuous Galerkin (RKDG) methods solving hyperbolic conservation laws. This new HWENO limiter is a modification of the simple WENO limiter proposed recently by Zhong and Shu [32]. Both limiters use information ...

BACKGROUND The objective of this study is to analyse the effectiveness of the surgical torque limiter during operative use. The study also investigates the potential differences in torque between hand and drill-based screw insertion into locking plates using a standardised torque limiter. METHODS Torque for both hand and power screw insertion was measured through a load cell, registering 6.66...

One of the worst types of fault that a power system should be designed to withstand is a short circuit. Within the various types of fault current limiters, the superconducting fault current limiter (SFCL) has an extremely fast current limitation. The rapid switching action and the self-sensing nature of the superconductor make SFCLs particularly attractive in fault protection. This very fast ti...
