This study compares information campaign messages that appeal to personal responsibility versus those do not, in attempts promote efforts reduce the threat of global warming. In two scenarios, self-efficacy moderates effects appeals on behavioral intentions through perceived consumer effectiveness and self-accountability, but with different patterns, such might empower people or else trigger th...

This paper presents a MATLAB based technology to predict the steady state behaviour of Self Excited Induction Generator. Taking into consideration the fact of rapid growing popularity of Self Excited Induction Generator research has been centered on analysis, control and design of the same for standalone applications. In this paper to obtain relevant performance equations, symmetrical component...

Nowadays, work on Wireless Power Transfer (WPT) systems with dual active bridges is attracting great attention due to their low conduction losses, power regulation, load transformation and reactance compensation. However, in these studies limitations such as overall analysis, design and realization techniques of the system were not considered properly. To address the aforementioned issues, this...

This research examines the antecedents of information overload and recommendation agents’ consultation and their effects on reactance and choice quality. We propose that information overload and the user need for cognition affect the tendency to employ decision heuristic (consulting a recommendation agent) and shape the user reactance to recommendations. A fully randomized experiment with diffe...

BACKGROUND Risk-factors for mortality in hip fractures encompass nutritional status, nominally body mass index, but not body composition. Given the difficulty of anthropometric assessment in bedridden patients a prospective study with bioimpedance analysis was designed. METHODS Elderly patients with hip fracture were consecutively recruited. Biochemical tests, primitive bioimpedance measureme...

We consider oscillators consisting of a reactance circuit and a negative resistor. They may happen to have multi-mode oscillations around the anti-resonant frequencies of the reactance circuit. This kind of oscillators can be easily synthesized by setting the resonant and antiresonant frequencies of the reactance circuits. However, it is not easy to analyze the oscillation phenomena, because th...

Acoustic impedance of perforations in contact with fibrous material, as well as air alone, is experimentally determined in the absence of mean flow. Different porosities 2.1, 8.4, 13.6, and 25.2 % and hole diameters 0.249 and 0.498 cm are applied for perforations, along with two fiber filling densities 100 and 200 kg/m3 to illustrate the effect of variations in such parameters on the perforatio...

The paper describes a new method to generate the reactance reference for a TCSC, which has been installed in order to provide damping in a power system. The knowledge of the expected oscillation frequency in the power system is used to create a coordinate system, which rotates with that frequency. In this coordinate system a phasor representing the power swing is being extracted from the input ...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES The study was conducted to evaluate soft tissue hydration and mass through pattern analysis of vector plots as height, normalized resistance, and reactance measurements by bioelectric impedance vector analysis in Taiwanese and Polish college students. METHODS Whole-body measurements were made with ImpediMed bioimpedance analysis SFB7 BioImp v1.55 (Pinkenba Qld 4008, ...
