|Transient stability investigations consist of studying the rotor oscillations of generators (electro-mechanic oscillations, 0.1-2 Hz) after the occurrence of a fault of large amplitude, e.g. short circuit. The goal is to indicate if the generators are capable to stay synchronous after a fault has occurred. The fault duration is one of the most important factors to be determined. In fact, the s...

The Copenhagen interpretation is an interpretation of quantum mechanics formulated mainly by Niels Bohr and also Werner Heisenberg while collaborating in Copenhagen. According to a poll in 1997, the Copenhagen interpretation is the most widely-accepted interpretation of quantum mechanics [1] and it was the first general attempt to understand the world of atoms. Since Copenhagen Interpretation w...

Specific phobia is a very prevalent disorder with high comorbidity rates. The aim of this study was to assess prevalence of specific phobia symptoms in a sample of Israeli young adults. Eight hundred fifty young Israeli soldiers participated in the study. Measures included a questionnaire on specific phobias and a socio-demographic questionnaire. Data on eight specific fears representing DSM-IV...

Rarely in public policy is there a consensus on the nature of a social problem. Yet, there is general agreement among policymakers, researchers, clients, and carers that services needed by persons with complex and multiple needs are haphazardly organised and mired in bureaucratic intransigence (Kahn & Kamerman, 1992; Mechanic, 1995; Webb, 1991). The problem, dating back to the 1960s in both the...

This research project focuses on the evolution of the damage mechanic properties for un-reinforced masonry panels under dynamic inplane loads. A statistical determination of the evolution of the damage mechanic requires, for a ceramic material, the development of a time varying load pattern. The pattern should pass the criteria of similarity to existing patterns, provide time for the measuremen...

The effect of geometry and material of the Micro/Nano particle on contact mechanic for manipulation was studied in this work based on atomic force microscopy. Hertz contact model simulation for EpH biological micro particle with spherical, cylindrical, and circular crowned roller shape was used to investigate the effect of geometry on contact simulation process in manipulation. Then, to val...
