The primary goal of this thesis is to study transmission line reactance tweaking, as a mechanism for both post-disturbance control and pre-disturbance resilience enhancement in a transmission network, and develop an optimization framework for evaluating the efficacy of this mechanism in both scenarios. We start by developing a mixed-integer linear programming (MILP) formulation for tracking the...

It is well known that the use of slotted stators in motors produces undesirable effects, such as magnetic flux distortion, additional losses, ripple torque, and vibration. However, a large number studies pay more attention to stator slots slot wedges (MSW) asynchronous permanent magnet motors, ignoring same problems capacity high voltage line start synchronous (HVLSPMSM). In order disclose effe...

It is shown that in the paper by S. Hrabar, J. Bartolic, and Z.Sipus, the negative permeability of the modified split ring resonators, whichare used to obtain the miniaturized waveguide, is not excited, and there isno negative permeability metamaterial.

Often when performing electrical bioimpedance (EBI) spectroscopy measurements, the obtained EBI data present a hook-like deviation, which is most noticeable at high frequencies in the impedance plane. The deviation is due to a capacitive leakage effect caused by the presence of stray capacitances. In addition to the data deviation being remarkably noticeable at high frequencies in the phase and...

The present study was designed to assess the effects of the Transcendental Meditation (TM) program on strength of the nervous system, perceptual reactance, reaction time, and auditory threshold. Three reaction time indices of strength of the nervous system were utilized: 1) Nebylitsyn's index, 2) the slope index, and 3) the low level stimulation index. Absolute auditory threshold was the fourth...

Title of Thesis: THE FOLLOWING MESSAGE MIGHT MAKE YOU MAD: FOREWARNING AND INOCULATION AGAINST REACTANCE Yoav Magid, Master of Arts, 2011 Thesis Directed by: Professor Monique Mitchell Turner Department of Communication If a persuasive attempt, be it a commercial advertisement, a Public Service Announcement, or a major public health campaign, threatens individuals’ perceived freedom to make the...

Reactance is a critical concept for understanding adolescents’ noncompliance and resistance to behavioral change. Traditionally, reactance has been conceptualized as state comprising negative emotions cognitions. However, research indicates that one’s proneness can be considered personality trait. The present study aimed develop current of individual differences in trait from biopsychosocial pe...

Airport ground lighting (AGL) systems provide visual reference to aircrafts during airport operations. In AGL systems, constant current regulators feed a beacon circuit supplied through isolation transformers. Component modeling is necessary to simulate AGL systems, and thus characterize and predict their behavior. This paper presents an isolation transformer model including transformer core sa...
