the purpose of this work is to study the conditions under which synchronisation is possible in asynchronous wind parks. Synchronisation is defined as the situation where blades of different wind turbines pass simultaneously in front of their towers. Tower shadow effect is generally considered responsible for part of power quality problems originated by wind turbines. The way of summing the effe...

People with Parkinson’s disease (PD) have difficulty performing dual tasks or simultaneous movements, even if the same movements can be easily performed individually. This has particular significance clinically, as for example falling injuries may occur if care is not taken to perform tasks one at a time. We investigated whether this difficultyx results from impaired dopamine-modulated connecti...

Clock synchronisation is a mature and important aspect of distributed computing systems. Despite the importance of accurate timing in music, there are relatively few widely applicable synchronisation solutions available to computer music practitioners. In this paper we present a simple OSC-based synchronisation method for wired and wireless applications, which is designed to be easy to apply an...

The GPS-aided MEMS-based inertial navigation system is a topic of current interest by many researches. The performance of such systems relies on not only the quality of the MEMS inertial sensors, or the quality of GPS measurements and the geometry of the satellite constellation, but also implementation of time synchronisation of GPS and INS sensors on the integration platforms. The pseudolite-b...

Clock synchronisation algorithms for distributed systems are complex and diicult to study in situ. This report describes how a commercial simulation tool for embedded systems can be used to simulate the behaviour of a simple clock synchronisation algorithm.
