Improving industrial product reliability, maintainability and, thus, availability is a challenging task for many industrial companies. In industry, there is a growing need to process data in real time, since the generated data volume exceeds the available storage capacity. This Paper consists of a review of data stream mining and data stream management systems aimed at improving product availab...

The linearization of a power flow (PF) model is an important approach for simplifying and accelerating the calculation of a power system's control, operation, and optimization. Traditional model-based methods derive linearized PF models by making approximations in the analytical PF model according to the physical characteristics of the power system. Today, more measurements of the power system ...

Keywords: Second order differential systems Saddle point theorem Generalized Ahmad–Lazer–Paul type condition a b s t r a c t Existence of periodic solutions to second order differential systems with gyroscopic forces is considered via variational methods, where a generalized Ahmad–Lazer–Paul type condition is used. We do not impose the condition that the gyroscopic forces are small.

Prison Conditions and Recidivism We use a unique data set on post-release behavior of former Italian inmates to estimate the effect of prison conditions on recidivism. By combining different sources of data we exploit variation in prison conditions measured by: 1) the extent of overcrowding at the prison level, 2) the number of deaths in the facility of detention during an inmate’s stay and 3) ...
