Standing on the south bank of Thames, today, its chimneys reconstructed, brickwork restored, roof replaced, Battersea Power Station betrays few troubles that plagued development and redevelopment (Figure 1). Like many London’s power stations, began as two separate units: A, western wing, opened in 1933, B, eastern 1955. Unlike these other however, which ‘B’ building formed an ad hoc response to...

This paper presents the effects of instrument transformers connection points on the measured impedance by distance relays in the presence of Flexible Alternating Current Transmission System (FACTS) devices with series connected branch. Distance relay tripping characteristic itself depends on the power system structural conditions, pre-fault operational conditions, and especially the ground ...

Methods for answering distance queries on large graphs through a preprocessed data structure have a rich history of study. Recent evaluations on social and information networks have shown that there are very efficient landmark based labeling schemes on these networks, even for exact distances. However, it is unclear what are the essential properties of these networks that make short labelings p...

Studies have shown that corporate social performance (CSP) is an antecedent of reputation, acting as a signal affects stakeholders’ perceptions and expectations about firm’s future behavior. However, the perceptions, expectations, interests stakeholders may be affected by external factors, such national culture, which shapes their beliefs what role companies play in society.

This study examined whether the cultures of low- and high-power negotiators interact to influence cooperative behavior of low-power negotiators. Managers from 4 different cultural groups (Germany, Hong Kong, Israel, and the United States) negotiated face-to-face in a simulated power-asymmetric commons dilemma. Results supported an interaction effect in which cooperation of people with lower pow...
