although many mathematics-based and heuristic approaches have been recently developed on optimally allocation of tcscs for lines overloads reduction and buses voltage stability enhancement during fault conditions, the works on the tcscs efficiency to achieve the abovementioned goals are rare. this idea that tcscs can surely enhance the system’s security must be comprehensively investigated. in ...

Typically, people rate enhancement needs as more important than security needs to their well-being. Two studies tested whether event valence and prior trauma moderate relative need importance. Traumatized (hurricane survivors) and non-traumatized (control) participants recalled the most ‘‘distressing’’ (security-relevant) or ‘‘satisfying’’ (enhancement-relevant) event they had recently experien...

Security of a biometric system is of paramount importance considering increased commercial use for allowing access to sensitive areas. In this context protection of stored biometric templates is of particular interest as these templates are irrevocable once leaked. Fuzzy vault has emerged as a novel cryptographic construct for the protection of biometric templates. But like every other techniqu...

Power system real time security assessment is one of the fundamental modules of the electricity markets. Typically, when a contingency occurs, it is required that security assessment and enhancement module shall be ready for action within about 20 min time to meet the real time requirement. The recent California black out again highlighted the importance of system security. This paper proposed ...
