This paper proposes an equivalent circuit model to obtain the transient electrical stress quantitatively in medium voltage frequency transformers modern power electronics. To verify this model, simulation is performed on a 1.5 kV/1 kHz transformer, revealing overshoot between turns and layers of transformer’s HV winding. Effects rise time input pulse voltage, stray capacitance winding insulatio...

The response of coral-reef ecosystems to contemporary thermal stress may be in part a consequence of recent or historical sea-surface temperature (SST) variability. To test this hypothesis, we examined whether: (i) there was a relationship between the historical frequency of SST variability and stress experienced during the most recent thermal-stress events (in 1998 and 2005-2006) and (ii) cora...

Stress has been known to change dietary behaviors and food intakes in individuals. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of stress level on the frequency and the amount of snack consumption. The high stress group (HS) showed significantly higher frequency of consumption for bread, chips, cookies, ramyeon, and frozen snacks (p<0.05) compared to low stress group (LS) with higher...
