Since the May 6 th , 2010 flash crash in the U.S., appropriate measures ensuring safe, fair and reliable markets become more relevant from the perspective of investors and regulators. Circuit breakers in various forms are already implemented for individual markets to ensure price continuity and prevent potential market failure and crash scenarios. However, coordinated inter-market safeguards ha...

In a Maker-Breaker game on a graph G, Breaker and Maker alternately claim edges of G. Maker wins if, after all edges have been claimed, the graph induced by his edges has some desired property. We consider four Maker-Breaker games played on random geometric graphs. For each of our four games we show that if we add edges between n points chosen uniformly at random in the unit square by order of ...

Steady, inviscid, axisymmetric vortex ows past a sphere are obtained numerically as solutions of a partial di erential equation for the stream function. The solutions found include vortex rings, bounded vortices attached to the sphere and in nite vortex tubes. Four families of attached vortices are described: vortex wakes behind the sphere, spherically annular vortices surrounding the spherical...

High voltage circuit breakers are important protection and control equipment for the power grid. The defects faults of breaker seriously affect safety stability system. As key component operating mechanism breaker, opening/closing coils contain a large amount information about status mechanism. In order to investigate cause difference in current waveforms, this paper analyzes factors affecting ...

In a shaken Bose-Einstein condensate, confined in a vibrating trap, there can appear different nonlinear coherent modes. Here we concentrate on two types of such coherent modes, vortex ring solitons and vortex rings. In a cylindrical trap, vortex ring solitons can be characterized as nonlinear Hermite-Laguerre modes, whose description can be done by means of optimized perturbation theory. The e...

ENGLISH) Motivated by economic pressures, power utilities are increasingly looking for new ways of reducing their costs while maintaining the quality of supply. A promising concept is predictive or condition based maintenance of high voltage equipment, based on continuos knowledge of each device’s condition. Power transformers and high voltage circuit breakers (HVCBs) have been the focus of att...

This paper addresses the resonance phenomena that can occur in an isolated distribution system during transient events such as repeated energizations or power converter switching. In particular, the aim of this study is to analyze the energization of an onboard radial distribution system installed on an electric ship and to determine how the various leakage parameters that can cause resonance p...

-This paper examines the impact of the network modification produced by the replacement of an existing conventional generator with a high voltage directly connected generator on the adequacy of existing circuit breakers distributed throughout a high voltage transmission network. The significance of generator design changes is assessed by comparing the critical fault types producing maximal circ...

Established was the influence of neuroemotional stress on the health state of atomic-powered ice-breaker sailors working in Arctic autonomous navigation. No specific factors (ionizing radiation) were found.

In this paper we study the (a : b) Maker-Breaker Connectivity game, played on the edge set of the complete graph on n vertices. We determine the winner for almost all values of a and b.
