Employing high switching speed wide bandgap (WBG) devices improves the efficiency of industrial drive inverters, but can result in motor overvoltages for shorter lengths cable between inverter and motor. These are caused by frequency impedance mismatches resulting reflection voltage pulse edges output. Forwards backwards travelling reflections interfere worst case cause double DC-link to appear...

Sodium-cooled Fast Reactors (SFR) are investigated as future Generation IV reactor concepts. In SFR, the core configuration is not most reactive during nominal operation, its geometry change or coolant voiding can induce a reactivity insertion. Within these considerations, mitigation devices should be implemented into in order to limit thermal energy released fuel severe accident and thereby po...

SQL injection attacks (SQLIA) still remain one of the most commonly occurring and exploited vulnerabilities. A considerable amount of research concerning SQLIA mitigation techniques has been conducted with the primary resulting solution requiring developers to code defensively. Although, defensive coding is a valid solution, the current market demand for websites is being filled by inexperience...

Electricity demand is sharply increasing with the growing population of human beings. Due to financial, social, and political barriers, there are lots difficulties when building new thermal power plants transmission lines. To solve this problem, renewable energy sources flexible AC systems (FACTS) can operate together in a network. Renewable provide additional grid, whereas FACTS devices increa...

The southern United States is susceptible to wildfire, from its climate, growing seasons, lightning frequency, and decades of fire suppression. With much known about wildfire’s biophysical risks, less is understood about sociodemographic obstacles, including race, income, and education. Blacks in the rural southeastern United States are typically among the most marginalized Americans and least ...
