An islanded microgrid (MG) including low-inertia converter-based distributed generations (DGs) is subjected to instability. The virtual inertia concept was proposed alleviate the stability issues by imitating synchronous generators behavior. This paper spotlights on optimization of generator (VSG) parameters and impedances (VI) in MGs using particle swarm (PSO). A small-signal model for MG deve...

Abstract Energy efficiency policy has been one of the European Union top priorities for decades and will continue to play a vital role in next 10 years with introduction The Clean energy all Europeans. Likewise, Latvia given high priority; however, targets industry lacked ambitions. This research focuses on evaluating Latvian industrial using top-down approach benchmarking intensity average Uni...

Natural disasters, such as what are known in English ‘floods’ and ‘wildfires’, increasingly a topic of concern due to the climate emergency, their vocabulary public discourses hold much be explored through linguistics. This article inaugurates examination discourse about extreme weather events semantically-enhanced studies, an approach which is based on Semantic Metalanguage (NSM) developed her...

In late 2020 the Government of Alberta’s Ministry Advanced Education sent a guidance document to Alberta post-secondary institutions lay out how work-integrated learning was be conducted. This also informed that should included in all future program proposals. The guidelines were without context or purpose stated. paper applies Carol Bacchi’s “What’s Problem Represented be” post-structural poli...

Te Awa Tupua is an ancestor of the M?ori people Whanganui, and also Whanganui River, who in 2017 was formally recognised as a person. While legally conferring personhood upon element nature relatively novel, it recognises fundamental principle indigeneity, that all things—human nonhuman—are related. We explore intersections peace, justice, sustainability through Indigenous tourism case studies ...

Drawing on a long-term political ethnography of sites global health governance, the paper makes methodological and substantive contributions. First all, it shows that induces researchers to experience international organizations (IOs) governance as spatiotemporal phenomena. This overlaps with lived realities practitioners spotlights aspects are otherwise easily overlooked. Both ethnographers ha...

reflect this additional burden on syntactic processing in linguistic as compared to algebraic tasks. Concerning the algebraic reasoning task, does the absence of increased activity in IFGop and IFGtri imply an absence of involvement of linguistic syntax during algebraic reasoning? This would be true if the grammatical tasks did not require syntactic processing to be performed. Contrary to the a...

We present fast ray tracing of dynamic scenes in this paper with primary and shadow rays. We present a GPUfriendly strategy to bring coherency to shadow rays, based on previous work on grids as acceleration structures. We introduce indirect mapping of threads to rays to improve the performance of ray tracing on the GPU for the traversal and intersection steps. We also construct a light frustum ...

The originality of the game that we present comes from its many technical constraints usually distributed on various types of games. It integrates well known specificities of several kinds without really being in any of these categories. Game engines are influenced by the types of games since they propose many technical optimizations to accelerate their operations. In return, only well categori...

Urinary tract infections (UTI) are among the most common bacterial infections in humans, affecting millions of people every year. UTI cause significant morbidity in women throughout their lifespan, in infant boys, in older men, in individuals with underlying urinary tract abnormalities, and in those that require long-term urethral catheterization, such as patients with spinal cord injuries or i...
