Partial discharge occurs a lot in shielded dielectric power cables. Partial discharge pulses are high-frequency electromagnetic waves that propagate in the shielded dielectric power cables. This chapter will study partial discharge propagation and detection in shielded dielectric power cables.

To the Editor: The results of the study, “Impact of a Shielded Safety Syringe on Needlestick Injuries Among Healthcare Workers,” in the June 1992 issue (1992;13:349353) are encouraging. Technology that keeps the worker’s hands behind the needle at all times and covers the needle after use should significantly lower the rate of needlestick injuries. However, we noted the following inconsistencie...

Abstract Many western countries used shielding (extended self-isolation) of people presumed to be at high-risk from COVID-19 protect them and reduce healthcare demand. To investigate the effectiveness this strategy, we linked family practitioner, prescribing, laboratory, hospital death records compared outcomes among shielded non-shielded individuals in West Scotland. Of 1.3 million population,...

This paper presents circuit models to analyze the conducted susceptibility of multiconductor shielded cables in frequency domains using Branin’s method, which is referred to as the method of characteristics. These models, which can be used directly in the time and frequency domains, take into account the presence of both the transfer impedance and admittance. The conducted susceptibility is stu...
