The future smart grid is envisioned as a network of interconnected microgrids (MGs) – small-scale local power networks comprising generators, storage capacities and loads. MGs bring unprecedented modularity, efficiency, sustainability, and resilience to the power grid as a whole. Due to the high share of renewable generation, MGs require innovative concepts for control and optimization, giving ...

This study aims to see whether the Think-Talk-Write method improves deaf children's capacity compose Indonesian language sentence structures. The research used was an experimental using design of one group pretest-posttest. data collection technique a writing test. conducted on seven children in class XI at special needs school Cicendo, Bandung, Indonesia. study's findings based comparison pre-...

| The inter-wire spacing in a VLSI chip becomes closer as the VLSI fabrication technology rapidly evolves. Accordingly, it becomes important to consider crosstalk caused by the coupling capacitance between adjacent wires in the layout design for the fast and safe VLSI circuits. The upper bounds of the allowable crosstalk for nets, called cross-talk constraints, are usually given in the design s...

The ‘limits of agreement’ method proposed by Martin Bland and Douglas Altman is a statistical technique for comparing the accuracy and precision of two measurement systems. By analyzing the differences between measurements made on a subject by each measurement system, the goal of the technique is to decide whether two systems can be used interchangeably. Although it is widely cited and frequent...

the aim of this study was to determine the effect of motivational self-talk as one of the psychological strategies. motivational self-talk is a type of self-talk that appears to improve performance and control arousal level through increased drive and effort and positive motivation in performance. this study tried to investigate the effect of motivational self-talk on performance of simple and ...

A simple experimental technique to measure and compare cross talk in fiber bundles designed for high-energy-particle-tracking systems in colliders is described. Each bundle is composed of individual step-index, multimode fibers that are doped with a scintillating material at a given concentration. Results for two different scintillators doped at two different concentrations are included to demo...

We first present a protocol for anonymous communication over the Internet. Ourprotocol, called P5 (Peer-to-Peer Personal Privacy Protocol) provides sender-, receiver-,and sender-receiver anonymity. P5 is designed to be implemented over the currentInternet protocols, and does not require any special infrastructure support. We present anoutline of the P5 protocol, and a set of...

We propose a technique that permits one to increase by one order of magnitude the detection range of position sensing for the photonic force microscope with quadrant photodetectors (QPDs). This technique takes advantage of the unavoidable cross-talk between output signals of the QPD and does not assume that the output signals are linear in the probe displacement. We demonstrate the increase in ...

Abstract International trade is currently under fire from many sides. Protectionist policies are on the rise, putting an end to decade‐long March of free trade. Making sense daily headlines and having informed opinion your own has rarely been more important than it now. Our work aims explain driving forces behind international trade, its history, how shaped world, economic models, issues rangin...
