Remote laboratories have made significant progress during last few years. Their integration in engineering education helps solve many logistical difficulties inherent in conventional labs. In control engineering education, shifting from hands-on experience to remote experimentation completely modifies the learning environment. Also, factors that can compromise the effectiveness of learning outc...

This paper maps the elite network responsible for developing behavioral science and the Ford Foundation agenda. Archival records of the actions taken by central nodes in the network permit identification of the original vis...

As tools for dynamic system modelling both conventional methods such as transfer function or state space representation and modern power flow based methods are available. The latter methods do not depend on energy domain, are able to preserve physical system structures, visualize power conversion or coupling or split, identify power losses or storage, run on conventional software and emphasize ...
