A new single-phase transformerless grid-connected PV inverter is presented in this paper. Investigations in transformerless grid-connected PV inverters indicate the existence of the leakage current is directly related to the variable common-mode voltage (CMV), which is presented in detail. On the other hand, in recent years it has become mandatory for the transformerless grid-connected PV inver...

Big data is an emerging field that combines expertise across a range of domains, including software development, data management and statistics. However, it has been shown that big data projects suffer because they often operate at a low level of process maturity. To help address this gap, the Diffusion of Innovation Theory is used as a theoretical lens to identify factors that might drive an o...

Eipascope 2001/2 23 On 9-10 April 2001, the European Institute of Public Administration organised a seminar entitled, ‘Assessing the EU’s Progress on the Path to a European Security and Defence Policy’. The seminar built upon an earlier event held in November 1999 which resulted in the publication of Between Vision and Reality: CFSP’s Progress on the Path to Maturity (EIPA, 2000) edited by Simo...

F or many programs, commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) products offer the promise of rapid delivery to end users, shared development costs with other customers , and an opportunity to expand business and mission capabilities and performance as improvements are made in the marketplace. But the promise of COTS products is often not realized in practice. Why? An important factor is that organizations...

Purpose It remains unresolved from the literature whether benchmarking is a useful and appropriate tool for the library and information services sector. The aim of this research was to gather evidence to establish whether benchmarking provides a real and lasting benefit to library and information services. Design/methodology/approach The study investigated the long term effects of a benchmarkin...

ISO 13407 standard [1] defines a set of User-Centered Design (UCD) activities and principles through which usable systems can be developed. Still there exist quite a few organizations, which systematically and consciously apply UCD in their product development. Usability capability is a characteristic of a development organization that determines its ability to constantly develop products with ...

CuCo2O4 nanostructures were synthesized through a facile solution combustion method. Electrochemical investigations demonstrate a novel electrode material for supercapacitors with remarkable performance including high-rate capability, high-power density (22.11 kW kg(-1)) and desirable cycling stability at different current densities.

Bringing Financial Literacy and Education to Low and Middle Income Countries: The Need to Review, Adjust, and Extend Current Wisdom This paper presents a World Bank led and Russia trust fund financed work program to measure financial capability and the effectiveness of financial education in low and middle income countries. The two activities and their staging have been motivated by the lessons...
