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. …”

Dynamics and stability of evaporating and condensing liquid layers by Wei, Tao

“…Finally, conclusions are drawn, and perspectives of future study based on these works have been proposed, including to model the dynamics of thin evaporating droplets with moving contact lines resulting from the successive touchdown of an evaporating layer and to investigate the relation between short-wave convection and long-wave deformation instabilities in the presence of phase change.…”

Vulnerability modeling, assessment, and improvement in urban metro systems: a probabilistic system dynamics approach by Chen, Hongyu, Chen, Bin, Zhang, Limao, Li, Hong Xian

“…The urban metro system is a complex system that is vulnerable to various kinds of hazards and subjected to dynamics, where errors in any part are very likely to cause system failures and accidents. A better understanding of evolutional dynamics of the system vulnerability over time enables to ensure the safety and security in its operation and provide guidance for long-term operation and maintenance for the metro system. …”

Characterization and gene expression analysis of the cir multi-gene family of plasmodium chabaudi chabaudi (AS) by Lawton, Jennifer, Brugat, Thibaut, Yan, Yam Xue, Reid, Adam James, Böhme, Ulrike, Otto, Thomas Dan, Pain, Arnab, Jackson, Andrew, Berriman, Matthew, Cunningham, Deirdre, Preiser, Peter Rainer, Langhorne, Jean

“…Conclusions: In conclusion, the large number of cir genes and their expression throughout the intraerythrocytic cycle of development indicates that CIR proteins are likely to be important for parasite survival. In particular, the detection of dominant cir transcripts at the peak of P. chabaudi infection supports the idea that CIR proteins are expressed, and could perform important functions in the biology of this parasite. …”

“…Engagement in leisure time physical activity in the life course is associated with better cognitive functioning at age 70, even in those with early markers of Alzheimer’s disease. If causal, this is likely via multiple pathways, potentially through the preservation of hippocampal volume, as well as via cognitive resilience pathways delaying cognitive manifestations of early markers of Alzheimer’s disease, particularly in women. …”
