The paper discusses the Russian power sector reform plan, approved by the government in July 2001, which outlines the framework for competition and changes in ownership structure. The paper focuses on the following issues related to the plan: restructuring of regional energos and large generating companies; restructuring of transmission and system operation; the mechanism for introducing compet...

This paper presents the laboratory restructuring and development for the course of Electric Machinery, also known as Electric Machines or Energy Conversion, for an integrative teaching approach. It illustrates the laboratory restructuring by using modern computer software and hardware information technology (IT) tools, by introducing DSP and digital control technology, and by restructuring a tr...

The Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) forms the core of the JPEG2000 image compression algorithm. Since the JPEG2000 compression application is heavily data-intensive, the overall power dissipation is dominated by read and write operations in the memory subsystem. In our proposed architecture, low power has mainly been achieved by optimizing the memory architecture and the data access pattern. T...

This essay introduces a new featured section, to be published in Small Axe annually, that explores the critical vocabulary of field Caribbean studies.

In this paper, two algorithms have been developed for allocation and size determination of Active Power Filters (APF) in power systems. In the first algorithm, the objective is to minimize harmonic voltage distortion. The objective in the second algorithm is to minimize the new APF injection currents while satisfying harmonic standards. Genetic algorithm is proposed for these two optimization p...

Users prefer to navigate subjects from organized topics in an abundance resources than to list pages retrieved from search engines. We propose a framework to cluster frequent itemsets (sets of common words) into topics, produce a hierarchical list, and then generate topics sequence from a collection of documents. The framework will regenerate a next sequence when users click a topic. Consider b...

Abstract “Queer” is a relatively recent and somewhat controversial term in African studies. Yet it proving to be productive, not only for understanding subjectivities of sexuality gender, but also situating Africa’s position the larger economy knowledge. Otu van Klinken explore productive tensions between “queer” “Africa,” aim read Africa as queer from Africa. Thus, rather than imagining polar ...
