Load Modulation at Two Locations for Damping of Electro-Mechanical Oscillations in a Multimachine System

Modulation of customer loads for increased power system damping is suggested as an alternative to control of HVDC links and FACTS devices. The loads are modeled as real power controlled by local bus frequency, which is equivalent to viscous damping in a mechanical system. The qualitative aspects of the interaction between two load modulation controllers are studied using linearized models of two t

Understanding the First Hundred Years of Christian Identity

After stating that there did exist an early Christ-believing movement in the first century CE, distinct enough to be investigated, the chapter gives a review of recent scholarly approaches to what "Christian identity" is. Answers range from a textual reality only, to an ideological construct, or rhetorical construction with social effectiveness, or an autonomous inner structure of the semiotic sys

Validation of Knowledge Claims in Human Science

The validity is in this volume grounded in a shared perception of research on human action, its conditions and consequences, as a human science rather than “social” or “behavioral” science. Validity is here more than the validity of representations, as research is not a mirror held to nature. The function of research is rather to clear the ground for change. All of the authors have done research c

Mathematical modelling of metric-driven routing and resource allocation in wireless mesh networks

The traditional routing protocols used in wireless mesh networks like AODV are not very efficient since the number of hops to a destination is mainly considered as the routing metric. This may lead to shorter paths; however, the throughput can decrease when traffic is routed through those paths. Various contributions have proposed different metrics or completely different routing algorithms. Never

Anorexia nervosa in 51 Swedish adolescents: premorbid problems and comorbidity

Fifty-one teenage cases with anorexia nervosa (AN) were compared with 51 age-, sex-, and school-matched cases with respect to premorbid developmental, physical, and psychiatric problems and comorbidity at the time of examination. Almost half of the AN group consisted of the total population of AN cases in one birth cohort. There were more premorbid personality problems in the AN group. Obsessive c
