An Unified Power Flow Controller (UPFC) is a typical Flexible AC Transmission System (FACTS) device playing a vital role as a stability aid for large transient disturbances in an interconnected power system.This paper deals with the design of Feedback Linearising Controller (FBLC) for UPFC.The disturbances are created in the SMIB system and the results are simulated.The results proved the supre...

We consider secret sharing schemes with a classical secret and quantum shares. One example of such schemes was recently reported whose access structure cannot be realized by any secret sharing schemes with classical shares. In this paper, we report further quantum secret sharing schemes whose access structures cannot be realized by any classical secret sharing schemes.

Nationalism is important in shaping the politics of every country throughout the world, but the economic rationale underlying nationalism remains unclear. This paper provides a framework for analyzing nationalistic sentiments, including asserted supremacy of national interests, xenophobia, state sovereignty, and militarization. The level of nationalistic sentiments varies by the relative import...

A prominent theme in twentieth and early twenty-first century moral philosophy is that a full and accurate picture of the ethical life must include an important role for the emotions. The neglect of the emotions has been a major point of criticism raised against the dominant consequentialist, Kantian, and contractualist theories by virtue ethicists such as G.E.M. Anscombe, Alisdair MacIntyre, M...

Overview In this article I describe my experiences from a graduate course on industrial math that I taught at Duke in the spring semester 1995. When I volunteered to teach this course, several months before the beginning of the semester, it seemed like a very manageable task; but as the time to start teaching drew closer, I grew apprehensive that I would be unable to develop a successful course...

Journal of Psychopathology 2015;21:19-22 Summary The complexity of suicide problems stimulates interpretations that can be compared not only with biological, physiological and/or psychopathological questions, but also with the sensitive universe of moral, philosophical and personological choices of the individual. More than once in history the value of life was faced with that of freedom, arous...

The article addresses the nature of power relations that sustain and disguise white racial hegemony in contemporary ‘Western’ society. Following the insights offered by critical race theory (CRT), white supremacy is conceived as a comprehensive condition whereby the interests and perceptions of white subjects are continually placed centre stage and assumed as ‘normal’. These processes are analy...

Some years ago the supercomputer landscape changed dramatically: the supremacy of vector processorbased systems had to give way to machines built from Commodity Of-The-Shelf (COTS) products that promised to deliver a better price-performance ratio. In addition cheap Beowulf clusters emerged and are massively employed in laboratories all over the world. We discuss some reasons for this change an...
