Rotor angle stability-constrained dispatch and control of large-scale wind penetrated power system by Yuan, Heling

“…In general, four main effects on power system transient stability are: 1) wind generation has no contribution to system inertia and system with synchronous generators replaced by wind turbines will lead to reduction of inertia, 2) power electronics converter-based interfacing is added when wind turbines are implemented, which will change the dynamic behavior of the system, 3) power dispatch of synchronous machines will change fast to compensate wind power variation, 4) the magnitude and direction of power flows will fluctuate quickly and randomly in the transmission lines. Hence, it is an essential and significant problem to maintain system’s stability with high level wind power penetration. …”

Social Bridges in Urban Purchase Behavior by Dong, Xiaowen, Suhara, Yoshihiko, Bozkaya, Burçin, Singh, Vivek K., Lepri, Bruno, Pentland, Alex

“…More specifically, we show that the number of social bridges between communities is a much stronger indicator of similarity in their purchase behavior than traditionally considered factors such as income and sociodemographic variables. Our findings also suggest that such an effect varies across different merchant categories, that the presence of female customers in social bridges is a stronger indicator compared to that of their male counterparts, and that there seems to be a geographical constraint for this effect, all of which may have implications in the studies of urban economy and data-driven urban planning.…”

Cracking Common Notions Relating Egg Strength to Impact Orientation by Sutanto, Antony

“…Contrary to intuitive understanding, eggs dropped on their equators could undergo greater drop heights without rupturing compared to those dropped on their vertical poles. This unexpected finding challenges the prevailing notion of the egg's structure and suggests a new perspective on its impact behavior.…”

Tailoring the angular and spectral reflectance characteristics of color-dynamic films by modifying their photonic texture and topcoat roughness by Blair, Andrew D.

“…The model is verified with data obtained by imaging the angular scattering distribution and spectroscopic analysis of four representative combinations of photonic texture and surface coat roughness. The findings presented in this thesis validate the hypothesis that controlling texture of the photonic film and roughness of its topcoat allows for tailoring the visual appearance of structurally colored materials. …”
