We study the impact of interplay between structure financial network and market conditions on stability in European banking system. capture two channels contagion. The first channel concerns direct interconnectedness, via a interbank loans, banks’ loans to other corporate retail clients, securities holdings. second indirect overlapping exposures common asset classes. To assess contagion, we app...

Power grids, throughout the world, are operated as large interconnected networks to ensure reliability of supply in an economic way. The interconnected nature of power network makes it vulnerable and sometimes even a small disturbance in the grid may propagate and result in a blackout. Investigations into major blackouts of the decade in the world have identified inadequate monitoring of the dy...

The symmetric circulant structure of many plants, including paper machines and distribution networks, is used to simplify the controller design for both 142-and H~-control, and to obtain super-optimality in the H®-case. Airliner-This paper is concerned with control of plants composed of n similar interacting subsystems. Such plants are common in practice and include paper machines, distribution...

One of the opportunities created by the ever-continuing increase in computing power is the possibility to model physical systems accurately and in detail. Mathematical models are the basis for simulation and of model-based analysis and design. Complex interconnected systems are usually modeled by tearing, zooming, and linking. Tearing refers to viewing a system as an interconnection of sub-syst...

Metal melting on release, after explosion, is considered here as an example of a physical system far from equilibrium. The goal is not only to describe and understand this system but also to develop more general methodology to approach similar problems. Due to highly non-equilibrium nature of the process and to simultaneous interconnection of many different physical effects, a complete physical...

The dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DPFC) and the posterior parietal cortex (PPC) are anatomically and functionally interconnected, and have been implicated in working memory and the preparation for behavioral action. To substantiate those functions at the neuronal level, we designed a visuomotor task that dissociated the perceptual and executive aspects of the perception-action cycle in both s...

During extremely hot summer days, air conditioning systems are known as major electricity consumers in residential, commercial and industrial sectors. Moreover, high energy requirement of multiple-chiller plants may cause an interconnected power grid be faced with annual on-peak electrical demand, load-generation mismatch, voltage collapse and catastrophic wide area blackout. Therefore, this pa...

Synchronized phasor measurement systems are being widely used around the world and have become essential elements in evolution of operation large electrical power (EPS). These systems, called Phasor Measurement Units (PMUs), capable recording communicating dynamic data from EPSs a synchronized way by GPS with high sampling rate, generate huge set that, among many applications, has capacity to d...

The current paper aims at investigating the seismic capacity of a masonry building aggregate in historical centre Mirandola based on reliable ground motion simulation procedure. examined clustered is composed eleven structural units (SUs) mutually interconnected to each other, which are made brick walls and characterized by wooden floors poorly connected vertical structures. Non-linear static a...
