Real-order generalization of dissipativeness and passivity concepts are presented in this paper. They are characterized as properties of a system; that is, they are independent of the system's internal representation and ...

Industrial loads are usually composed of large induction motors (IM). These motors present a critical behavior under some circumstances, e.g. during starting and faults in the system. Currently, induction generator-based ...

In the recent years, the penetration of photovoltaics (PV) has obviously been increased in unbalanced power distribution systems. Driven by this trend, comprehensive simulation tools are required to accurately analyze ...

The interpretation of large river deposits from the rock record is hampered by the scarcity of direct observations of active large river systems. That is particularly true for deep-channel environments, where tens of meters ...

This paper explains why the reliability assessment of energy limited systems requires more detailed models for primary generating resources availability, internal and external generating dispatch and customer demand than ...

Nowadays the need to process lots of complex multimedia databases is more frequent. Recent investigations such as MAM-SOM* and SAM-SOM* families propose the combination of Self-Organizing Maps (SOM) with Access Methods for ...

Motivated by the time behavior of the functional arising in the variational approach to the KPZ equation, we have adapted a path-integral scheme to deal with unstable systems. In a simple mesoscopic model and under two ...
