Current distortion of 12-pulse rectifier loads is significantly
lower compared to six-pulse rectifier loads. However, in
passive filtering of the lowest and dominant characteristic 11th and
13th harmonics the use of 5th ...
Flying electric generators (FEGs) are proposed to harness kinetic energy in the powerful, persistent high-altitude winds. Average power density can be as high as 20 kW/m(2) in an approximately 1000-km-wide band around ...

Mobility has become very important for
our quality of life. Head movement is a natural
form of pointing and can be used to directly
replace the joystick for severely disabled people. In
this paper, we describe the ...
Heavy metals speciation analysis was carried out on sediment samples accumulated within soakaways in an old stormwater infiltration facility in Tokyo, Japan and on a soil core sample collected near the facility. Heavy ...

Highly flexible and bendable free-standing polypyrrole (PPy) films were prepared using the electrochemical polymerization method. The paper-like films are soft, lightweight, mechanically robust, and highly electrically ...
Electron beam induced etching (EBIE) and deposition (EBID) are promising fabrication techniques in which an electron beam is used to dissociate surface-adsorbed precursor molecules to achieve etching or deposition. Spatial ...
Structural fire safety capacity of concrete is very complicated because concrete materials have considerable variations. In this paper, constitutive models and relationships for concrete subjected to fire are developed, ...
This paper addresses the design of H-infinity state feedback controllers for a class of nonlinear time-varying delay systems. The interesting features here are that the system in consideration is nonautonomous with ...
This paper presents an Hinfinity controller design approach for vibration attenuation of seismic-excited building structures with time delay in control input. The time delay is assumed to be uncertain time-invariant but ...

Colonisation in the late 18th century and subsequent settlement in New South Wales, Australia has led to the native vegetation on the more arable soils being cleared, leaving only scattered remnants of the original vegetation. ...
This paper is concerned with a study of the influence of a time delay occurring in a PD feedback control on the dynamic stability of a rotor suspended by magnetic bearings. In the presence of geometric coordinate coupling ...

This paper explores the different approaches to Hospital Information Systems in two large teaching
hospitals in Sydney. These two hospitals, although similar in many respects, have different approaches in the
implementation ...
Key components of the miRNA-mediated gene regulation pathway are localized in cytoplasmic processing bodies (P-bodies). Mounting evidence suggests that the presence of microscopic P-bodies are not always required for ...

Hybrid processes combining fi bre fi lter with deep bed fi ltration process such as (i) fi bre fi lter and sand fi lter, (ii) fi bre fi lter and anthracite and (iii) fi bre fi lter and dual media fi lter were investigated ...
In recent years, many developments in logistics were connected to the need for information in an efficient supply chain flow. The supply chain is often represented as a network called a supply chain network (SCN) that is ...
