Many myths about adolescence have been refuted by research, but similar myths have grown up in recent years around emerging adulthood. This essay addresses three of those myths: the claim that they suffer from a normative “crisis”; the accusations that they are “selfish”; and their alleged reluctance to “grow up” and become adults. For each issue, evidence is presented showing that the myths ex...

BACKGROUND The widespread reluctance to share published research data is often hypothesized to be due to the authors' fear that reanalysis may expose errors in their work or may produce conclusions that contradict their own. However, these hypotheses have not previously been studied systematically. METHODS AND FINDINGS We related the reluctance to share research data for reanalysis to 1148 st...

In this paper, an efficient method is proposed to accurately analyze large-scale power/ground (P/G) networks, where inductive parasitics are modeled with the partial reluctance. The method is based on frequency-domain circuit analysis and the technique of vector fitting [14], and obtains the time-domain voltage response at given P/G nodes. The frequency-domain circuit equation including partial...

Heat transfer is a critical aspect related to Electrical machine design. To insure a successful design of the electrical machine, special attention has to be given to thermal aspects in parallel with the traditional Electromagnetic design. For calculating the temperature rise in electrical systems such as electrical machines or power electronic systems it is important to measure the temperature...

Switched Reluctance Motors (SRMs) are increasingly popular machines in electrical drives, whose performances are directly related to their operating condition. Their dynamic characteristics vary as condition change. Recently, several methods of modelling of the magnetic saturation of SRMs have been proposed. However, the SRM is nonlinear and cannot be adequately described by such models. Artifi...

This paper presents the idea of manufacturing and fabricating a controller for four phase, 8/6 poles switched reluctance motor (SRM). The experimental results drawn from this controller are showing that the efficiency is a function of the applied voltage to the stator winding due to load variation, and found the best applied voltage that produced a better efficiency by this system is 85 VDC. Th...

This paper proposes an effective method of energy regeneration during braking for a dc motor or internal combustion(IC) engine. During the braking period, instead of dissipating the kinetic energy in the brake shoes and poles in the form of heat, this energy is recovered using a switched reluctance generator that is mechanically coupled to the shaft of prime mover. Here the DC motor or the IC e...
