Recently wide spread of power electronic equipment has caused an increase of the harmonic disturbances in the power systems. The nonlinear loads draw harmonic and reactive power components of current from ac mains. Current harmonics generated by nonlinear loads such as adjustable speed drives, static power supplies and UPS. Thus a perfect compensator is required to avoid the consequences due to...

Fourier transform analysis of ramped square-wave voltammograms indicates the availability of a novel form of kinetic selectivity for surface-confined electron-transfer processes. Thus, for all the even harmonic components, quasi-reversible processes are sensitive to the surface coverage, the reversible potential, the electron-transfer rate constant (k(0')), and the electron-transfer coefficient...

According to different studies of the infant cry, the sub-harmonic components or double series of fundamental frequency as a rule does not occur in the crying of healthy neonates. An acoustic analysis was made of three samples of cry signal (continuous signal or several short phonations), and six phonations of the vowel /a/ by pre-school children with dysphonia and by school children with Down ...

We present a solution to the problem of modeling, parameter estimation, and synthesis of natural textures. The texture field is assumed to be a realization of a regular homogeneous random field, which can have a mixed spectral distribution. On the basis of a 2-D Wold-like decomposition, the field is represented as a sum of a purely indeterministic component, a harmonic component, and a countabl...

Harmonic/inter-harmonic detection and analysis is an important issue in power system signal processing. This paper proposes a fast algorithm based on matching pursuit (MP) sparse signal decomposition, which can be employed to extract the harmonic or inter-harmonic compo-nents of a distorted electric voltage/current signal. In the MP iterations, the method extracts harmonic/interharmonic compone...

The harmonic index H(G) , of a graph G is defined as the sum of weights 2/(deg(u)+deg(v)) of all edges in E(G), where deg (u) denotes the degree of a vertex u in V(G). In this paper we define the harmonic polynomial of G. We present explicit formula for the values of harmonic polynomial for several families of specific graphs and we find the lower and upper bound for harmonic index in Caterpill...
