This paper introduces the UMEC (Unified Magnetic Equivalent Circuit) transformer model recently implemented for the RTDS Simulator. The UMEC transformer algorithm was reorganized to meet the requirement of real time simulation. The detailed implementation and optimization of the algorithm are described. Validation of the model is also presented. The validation was conducted by comparing the rea...

We propose an efficient flow and error control scheme for highthroughput transport protocols, which (i) decouples flow control from error control, and (ii) uses a second-order rate control, called -control, for flow control and a new sliding-window scheme for error control. The -control minimizes the need for packet retransmissions by adjusting the rate-gain parameter in response to the variati...

The Next Generation Air Traffic Management system (NextGen) is a blueprint of the future National Airspace System. Supporting NextGen is a nation-wide Aviation Simulation Network (ASN), which allows integration of a variety of real-time simulations to facilitate development and validation of the NextGen software by simulating a wide range of operational scenarios. The ASN system is an environme...

This paper presents an approach to performing real-time co-simulation of electro-thermal coupled power systems for aiding the design of future all-electric Navy ships. The goal is to study the transient interactions between the electrical and the thermal sub-systems. The approach utilizes the existing large scale real-time simulation capabilities of electrical systems established at Florida Sta...

The auth6rs have applied a simple modelling approach for multiple resonant tunnelling transistors (mRTTs) which includes four resonant tunnelling diodes (RTDs) within the transistor structure. Unique features of this model, corresponding to device features compatible for integrated circuits, allow for tuning and matching the devices for optimum circuit performance. Two circuits are presented fo...

here is strong evidence that increasing the cost of alcohol reduces the overall amount that is consumed. In a range of countries, price increases have been consistently shown to reduce alcohol consumption and related harms in both the general population and at-risk populations such as young people and heavy drinkers. Conversely, price decreases have resulted in an increase in consumption and ha...

We advocate a new methodology for empirically analysing the behaviour of Las Vegas Algorithms, a large class of probabilistic algorithms comprising prominent methods such as local search algorithms for SAT and CSPs, like WalkSAT and the Min-Conflicts Heuristic, as well as more general metaheuristics like Genetic Algorithms, Simulated Annealing, Iterated Local Search, and Ant Colony Optimization...
