The modern High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) transmission technology depends on the development of power electronics based on the semiconductor devices. This paper represents a simple model of HVDC transmission system in which the converter and filter have been designed to increase stability of power transmission. The HVDC transmission system has been proposed on the basis of simulation studie...

We demonstrate spin-dependent tunneling features of electronic transport in diluted magnetic semiconductor/semiconductor hybrid systems. It is shown that the geometrical asymmetry of the multilayer heterostructure results in the asymmetry of the spin polarization on the external electric field. The degree of the asymmetry can be changed by adjusting the structural configuration and the magnitud...

We calculate the pendular-state spectra of cold linear molecules, and investigated the dependences of "Q-branch" integrated intensity of pendular spectra on both electric-field strength and molecular rotation-temperature. A new multi-peak structure in the "Q-branch" spectrum is appearing when the Stark interaction strength ω = μE/B equal to or larger than the critical value. Our study shows tha...

We infiltrate liquid crystals doped with BaTiO3 nanoparticles in a photonic crystal fiber and compare the measured transmission spectrum with the one achieved without dopant. New interesting features, such as frequency modulation response of the device and a transmission spectrum with tunable attenuation on the short wavelength side of the widest bandgap, suggest a potential application of this...

This review focuses on recent progress in understanding mechanisms for filtering self-generated sensory signals in cerebellum-like circuits in fish and mammals. Recent in vitro studies in weakly electric gymnotid fish have explored the interplay among anti-Hebbian plasticity, synaptic dynamics, and feedforward inhibition in canceling self-generated electrosensory inputs. Studies of the mammalia...

The next-generation all-electric ship represents a class of design and control problems in which the system is too large to approach analytically, and even with many conventional computational techniques. Additionally, numerous environmental interactions and inaccurate system model information make uncertainty a necessary consideration. Characterizing systems under uncertainty is essentially a ...

This paper presents an original approach developed within an industrial thesis, financed by the SNCF (French acronym for National Society of French Railways). The aim is to standardize the work of electric traction of railway transportation. This approach is composed of two axes. Firstly, a standardized generation of deliverables is done to help the systems engineers keeping their concentration...
