Power system voltage stability is one of the challenging problems faced by the utilities. Innovative methods and solutions are required to evaluate the voltage stability of a power system and implement suitable strategies to enhance the robustness of the power system against voltage stability problems. This is the motivation behind the research carried out as a part of the PhD program and presented in this dissertation. The first two chapters of the book discuss the phenomenon of voltage instability in brief, and presents an overview of the existing work. Next two chapters present the details of the innovative methods developed in this research for online voltage stability monitoring using ANN. In the next chapter of the book, a...

Annealing is a process of slowly cooling glass to relieve internal stresses after it was formed. The process may be carried out in a temperature-controlled kiln known as a Lehr. Glass which has not been annealed is liable to crack or shatter when subjected to a relatively small temperature change or mechanical shock. Annealing glass is critical to its durability. If glass is not annealed, it will retain many of the thermal stresses caused by quenching and significantly decrease the overall strength of the glass. Данное издание не является оригинальным.

Annealing, in metallurgy and materials science, is a heat treatment wherein a material is altered, causing changes in its properties such as strength and hardness. It is a process that produces conditions by heating to above the recrystallization temperature and maintaining a suitable temperature, and then cooling. Annealing is used to induce ductility, soften material, relieve internal stresses, refine the structure by making it homogeneous, and improve cold working properties.

Major catastrophic failures in large scale engineering systems (e.g., aircraft, power plants and turbo-machinery) can possibly be averted if the malignant anomalies are detected at an early stage. This dissertation experimentally validates a novel method called Symbolic Time Series Analysis(STSA) for anomaly detection in electromechanical systems, derived from time series data of pertinent measured variable(s). In this dissertation, the performance of this anomaly detection method is compared with that of other existing pattern recognition techniques from the perspectives of early detection of fatigue damage in Al-2024. The experimental apparatus, on which the anomaly detection method is tested, is a multi-degree of freedom mass-beam...

Answer set programming is a form of declarative programming oriented towards difficult (primarily NP-hard) search problems. It is based on the stable model semantics of logic programming. In ASP, search problems are reduced to computing stable models, and answer set solvers -- programs for generating stable models -- are used to perform search. The computational process employed in the design of many answer set solvers is an enhancement of the DPLL algorithm and, in principle, it always terminates. Данное издание не является оригинальным.

Since many undesired oxidation processes, including food decay and a variety of diseases, anthocyanins from grape skins are potential added value products that can be applied as natural food additives and disease chemopreventive agents. Anthocyanins are widely dispersed throughout the plant kingdom. The world annual consumption of anthocyanins has been estimated as 10,000 tons from red grapes only. As well as acting as attractants for pollinating insects, anthocyanins in the epidermis have a protective role, acting as a filter and reducing the levels of harmful irradiation reaching mesophyll cells. Today, natural antioxidants are still under intensive study and represent a currently emergin concept in nutrition. The intent of this book...

Currently, only the United States, the former Soviet Union, and the People`s Republic of China are known to have developed these weapons. On September 13, 1985, the United States destroyed US satellite P78-1 using an ASM-135 ASAT anti-satellite missile. On January 11, 2007, China destroyed an old Chinese orbiting weather satellite. A year later on February 21, 2008, USA destroyed a malfunctioning US spy satellite USA-193 using a RIM-161 Standard Missile 3.

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! An anti-radiation missile is a missile which is designed to detect and home in on an enemy radio emission source. Typically these are designed for use against an enemy radar, although jammers and even radios used for communication can also be targeted in this manner. Most ARM designs to date have been intended for use against ground-based radars. Commonly carried by specialist aircraft in the SEAD role , the primary purpose of this type of missile is to degrade enemy air defenses in the first period of a conflict in order to increase the chances of survival for the following waves of strike aircraft. They can also be used to quickly shut down unexpected SAM sites during a raid. Aircraft which...

An anti-lock braking system, or ABS is a safety system which prevents the wheels on a motor vehicle from locking up while braking.A rotating road wheel allows the driver to maintain steering control under heavy braking by preventing a skid and allowing the wheel to continue interacting tractively with the road surface as directed by driver steering inputs. While ABS offers improved vehicle control, and may decrease stopping distances on dry and especially slippery surfaces, it can also increase braking distance on loose surfaces such as snow and gravel .Since initial widespread use in production cars, anti-lock braking systems have evolved considerably. Recent versions not only prevent wheel lock under braking, but also electronically...

An anti-submarine weapon is any one of a range of devices that are intended to act against a submarine, and its crew, to destroy (sink) the vessel or to destroy or reduce its capability as a weapon of war. An anti-submarine weapon can be integrated with an anti-submarine warfare (ASW) system, such as the US Navy Tactical Data System (NTDS) that controls air, land and sea-based weapon system threat detection and target acquisition. However, in its simplest sense it is a projectile, missile or bomb that is optimized to destroy submarines. Данное издание не является оригинальным.

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! An anti- personnel weapon is one primarily used to injure or kill people. Because these do not discriminate between soldiers and civilians, there are international political movements to ban these various weapons. The most common use of this term is for certain low-powered explosive devices. While the distinction is very old—a spear is anti-personnel, while a catapult is of more use against buildings than individuals—the large-scale development of military technology in the 19th and 20th centuries has made the concept a key consideration in design. For instance, an anti-personnel landmine will explode into small and sharp splinters that tear flesh but have no effect on metal surfaces, and...

This work studies the design and implementation of anti-windup compensators for systems with magnitude and rate-limited actuators; the work contains four main contributions. The first is the development of a new method for anti-windup compensator design, based on the solution of a single Riccati equation, for systems with magnitude saturated actuators. The second contribution shows how this new method can be adapted to systems with rate saturation. The third contribution describes the application of the anti-windup techniques developed to a complex experimental aircraft model in order to reduce the susceptibility to pilot-induced-osicalltions. The work culminates with a description and analysis of the implementation of these anti-windup...

Anti-frogman techniques are security methods developed to protect watercraft, ports and installations, and other sensitive resources both in or nearby vulnerable waterways from potential threats or intrusions by frogmen or other divers. In World War II this need for military underwater security was first shown by the achievements of frogmen against armed forces facilitie, see for example Italian frogman actions in WWII. Since the late 1950s, the increasing demand for and availability of sophisticated scuba diving equipment has also created concerns about protecting valuable underwater archaeology sites and shellfish fishing stocks.

An antique firearm is, loosely speaking, a firearm designed and manufactured prior to the beginning of the 20th century. The Boer War is often used as a cut-off event, although the exact definition of what constitutes an "antique firearm" varies from jurisdiction to jurisdiction.
