Autonomous control of interlinking converter with energy storage in hybrid AC–DC microgrid by Loh, Poh Chiang, Li, Ding, Chai, Yi Kang, Blaabjerg, Frede

“…The coexistence of ac and dc subgrids in a hybrid microgrid is likely given that modern distributed sources can either be ac or dc. Linking these subgrids is a power converter, whose topology should preferably be not too unconventional. …”

Cyberbullying: differentiating offenders criminal roles using a narrative‐based approach by Fumagalli, Anita, Trayford, Tori Jillings, Chrysikos, Alexandros

“…However, there is a need to explore, categorize and identify cyberbullies and their characteristics so that inferences and crime links can be made to prevent the crime. The present study aimed to investigate whether the Narrative Action System Model (NASM) could be used to identify and examine the psychological underpinnings of different cyberbully offending styles. …”
