Despite society’s strong dependence on electricity, power outages remain prevalent. Standard methods for directly measuring availability are complex, often inaccurate, and prone to attack. This paper explores an alternative approach identifying through intelligent monitoring of IP address availability. In finding these outages, we explore the trade-off between accuracy detection false alarms. W...

The performance and reliability of the state-of-the-art power 4H-SiC metal–oxide–semiconductor field-effect transistors (MOSFETs) are affected by electrically active defects at near interface between SiC gate dielectric. Specifically, these impact channel-carrier mobility threshold voltage MOSFETs, depending on their physical location energy levels. To characterize defects, techniques have evol...

Globular cluster systems evolve, in galaxies, due to internal and external dynamics and tidal phenomena. One of the causes of evolution, dynamical friction, is responsible for the orbital decay of massive clusters into the innermost galactic regions. It is found that these clusters are effective source of matter to feed a central galactic black hole such to make it grow and shine as an AGN.

The dynamic synapse is represented by the constant mobility and exchange of components at both the cell surface and at intracellular sites. This includes thermally powered Brownian diffusion movement, followed by reversible trapping through receptor-scaffold interactions and active transport of cargo vesicles through cytoskeletal motors.
