he undergrounding of energy transmission cables is widely recognized as a good means to provide reliable supplies of power at a low total cost [1], [2]. As utilities increasingly acknowledge this and install many more high voltage (HV) and extra high voltage (EHV) cables, they will face a major challenge: namely, sourcing the increased amount of high quality power cable with the cable manufactu...

In this issue of JOVR, Derakhshan and co-authors 1 describe the results of crosslinking for patients with early keratoconus. Collagen crosslinking is a recently described technique of corneal tissue strengthening using riboflavin as a photosensitizer and ultraviolet A (UVA) radiation to promote the formation of intra-and interfibrillar covalent bonds by photosensitized oxidation. 2 To date, it ...

In this paper, crosslinked polyethylene-polystyrene (XLPE-PS) composites with different degrees of crosslinking were fabricated by using agent contents and their direct current (DC) breakdown performance at 30~90 °C was investigated. Results show that the increase degree crosslinking, crystallinity XLPE-PS decreases gradually, but DC strength demonstrates an increasing trend enhancement also in...
