A low carbon, high efficiency and high quality power supply scheme for Distributed Generation (DG) in a micro-grid is presented. A three-phase, four-leg DG grid-interfacing converter based on the improved structure of a Unified Power Quality Conditioner (UPQC, including a series converter and a parallel converter) is adopted, and improved indirect and direct control strategies are proposed. It ...

We introduce a new approach to the detection and the classification of effects in video sequences. We deal with the effects such as cuts, fades, dissolves, and camera motions. A global motion compensation based on block matching and a measure of block mean intensities are used to detect all the effects. We determine the dominant motion vectors to detect the camera motions for each shot and obse...

Despite the popularity of financial compensation as a means for addressing trust violations, the question whether (more) money can indeed buy trust back remains largely unexplored. In the present research, we focus on the role of violation type and compensation size. The results of a scenario study and a laboratory experiment show that financial compensation can effectively promote the restorat...
