Planarity Index

Planar graphs play an effective role in many practical applications where the crossing of edges becomes problematic. This paper aims to investigate the complex q-rung orthopair fuzzy (CQROF) planar graphs (CQROFPGs). In a CQROFPG, the nodes and edges are based on complex QROF information that represents the uncertain knowledge in the range of unit circles in terms of complex numbers. The motivation in discussing such a topic is the wide flexibility of QROF information in the expression of uncertain knowledge compared to intuitionistic and Pythagorean fuzzy settings. We discussed the complex QROF graphs (CQROFGs), complex QROF multigraphs (CQROFMGs), and related terms followed by examples. Furthermore, the notion of strength and planarity index (PI) of the CQROFPGs is defined and exemplified followed by a study of strong and weak edges. We further defined the notion of complex QROF face (CQROFF) and complex QROF dual graph (CQROFDG) and exemplified these concepts. A study of isomorphism, coweak and weak isomorphism, is set up, and some results relating to the CQROFPG and isomorphisms are explored using examples. Furthermore, the problem of short circuits that results due to crossing is discussed because of the proposed study where an algorithm based on complex QROF (CQROF) information is presented for reducing the crossing in networks. Some advantages of the projected study over the previous study are observed, and some future study is predicted.

Abstract For those attempting fault isolation on computer motherboard power-ground short issues, the optimal technique should utilize existing test equipment available in the debug facility, requiring no specialty equipment as well as needing a minimum of training to use effectively. The test apparatus should be both easy to set up and easy to use. This article describes the signal injection and oscilloscope technique which meets the above requirements. The signal injection and oscilloscope technique is based on the application of Ohm's law in a short-circuit condition. Two experiments were conducted to prove the effectiveness of these techniques. Both experiments simulate a short-circuit condition on the VCC3 power rail of a good working PC motherboard and then apply the signal injection and oscilloscope technique to localize the short. The technique described is a simple, low cost and non-destructive method that helps to find the location of the power-ground short quickly and effectively.

Optimization Problem Formulation

Protecting inverter-interfaced microgrids is challenging as conventional time-overcurrent protection becomes unusable due to the lack of fault current. There is a great need for novel protective relaying methods that enable the application of protection coordination on microgrids, thereby allowing for microgrids with larger areas and numbers of loads while not compromising reliable power delivery. Tools for modeling and analyzing such microgrids under fault conditions are necessary in order to help design such protective relaying and operate microgrids in a configuration that can be protected, though there is currently a lack of tools applicable to inverter-interfaced microgrids. This paper introduces the concept of applying an optimization problem formulation to the topic of inverter-interfaced microgrid fault modeling, and discusses how it can be employed both for simulating short-circuits and as a set of constraints for optimal microgrid operation to ensure protective device coordination.

A variety of electrical apparatus used in daily life can cause fires because of internal or external factors. During cause identification of an electrical fire, the first short circuit melted marks of copper wire have been considered highly important because they are direct proofs. Additionally, overloaded short circuit caused by the overload of current due to excessive electrical usage can give rise to an electrical fire. Despite extensive research on the first short circuit in fire scenes, the overloaded short circuit remains difficult to be distinguished because of the limitation of commonly used testing methods. Conventional metallographic method is intuitionistic and simple, but may not provide detailed data of crystals such as misorientation of grains. Here a new method (electron backscattered diffraction, EBSD) is applied for identification of the first and overloaded short-circuited melted marks of copper wires in electrical fire scenes. Results show obvious morphological distinctions in melted marks of copper wires between the first and overloaded short circuits. Qualitative and Quantitative differences obtained from the contrast of the above two short circuit situations may assist for cause identification of electrical fires in the future.

THE NEW REGIONALISM, MANIFESTED IN EUROPE BY THE SINGLE European Act and the Maastricht Treaty (1992) and in North America by the signature of the North-American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA 1993), is centred on strategic policies and new institutions, the aims of which are to achieve a more effective role in global competition. In Europe, the shift is marked by the impending process of monetary union and the creation of its related institutions. The new approach agreed in the Maastricht Treaty sets out four requirements for eligibility to membership of monetary union. Convergence criteria embodying the judgment of financial markets about future inflation, exchange rate and fiscal policy appeared to be the second best choice for governments seeking to institutionalize their commitment to inflation-avoiding policies. The whole mechanism is meant first to provide the region with a credible monetary institution able to win over the financial markets and secondly to set up bulwarks to the inflation-prone pressures of domestic sheltered interests. Thirdly, the aim is to commit member countries, through a so-called targeting exercise (in Keohane's words) to accomplishing the agreed objectives with monetary discipline and macroeconomic adjustment.

Abstract. Uncertainty in rainfall datasets and landslide inventories is known to have negative impacts on the assessment of landslide–triggering thresholds. In this paper, we perform a quantitative analysis of the impacts that the uncertain knowledge of landslide initiation instants have on the assessment of landslide intensity–duration early warning thresholds. The analysis is based on an ideal synthetic database of rainfall and landslide data, generated by coupling a stochastic rainfall generator and a physically based hydrological and slope stability model. This dataset is then perturbed according to hypothetical reporting scenarios, that allow to simulate possible errors in landslide triggering instants, as derived from historical archives. The impact of these errors is analysed by combining different criteria to single-out rainfall events from a continuous series and different temporal aggregations of rainfall (hourly and daily). The analysis shows that the impacts of the above uncertainty sources can be significant. Errors influence thresholds in a way that they are generally underestimated. Potentially, the amount of the underestimation can be enough to induce an excessive number of false positives, hence limiting possible landslide mitigation benefits. Moreover, the uncertain knowledge of triggering rainfall, limits the possibility to set up links between thresholds and physio-geographical factors.

We tested the hypothesis that the role of histamine in the control of intestinal secretion is mediated by prostaglandins (PGs). The effects of histamine on ion transport were examined in muscle-stripped sheets of mucosa/submucosa set up in flux chambers. Histamine evoked a transient concentration-dependent increase in short-circuit current (Isc) that was reduced by the Cl- transport inhibitor bumetanide. Histamine also caused the release of PGE2. The Isc response to histamine was reduced by indomethacin and piroxicam, which block PG formation, but not by nordihydroguaiaretic acid, which prevents production of lipoxygenase products. 2-Methylhistamine, but not dimaprit, evoked a concentration-dependent increase in Isc. The Isc response to histamine was reduced by the H1-blocker pyrilamine, but not by the H2-antagonist cimetidine. In addition to its direct effect, histamine augmented the responses of endogenously released neurotransmitters with and without indomethacin and hexamethonium. Tetrodotoxin (TTX) reduced the Isc response to 10(-3) M histamine. In the presence of TTX, exogenous histamine amplified the responses to PGs, vasoactive intestinal polypeptide, 2-chloroadenosine, bethanechol, and carbachol. These results suggest that histamine acts at H1-receptors on cells within the gut to mediate intestinal Cl- secretion in part by releasing PGs and by augmenting the actions of endogenously released neurotransmitters. Our results indicate that histamine has a role in the regulation of colonic transport function.

The Impact

This paper investigates the impact of parameter variation between parallel connected SiC MOSFETs on short circuit (SC) performance. SC tests are performed on parallel connected devices with different switching rates, junction temperatures and threshold voltages (VTH). The results show that VTH variation is the most critical factor affecting reduced robustness of parallel devices under SC. The SC current conducted per device is shown to increase under parallel connection compared to single device measurements. VTH shift from bias–temperature–instability (BTI) is known to occur in SiC MOSFETs, hence this paper combines BTI and SC tests. The results show that a positive VGS stress on the gate before the SC measurement reduces the peak SC current by a magnitude that is proportional to VGS stress time. Repeating the measurements at elevated temperatures reduces the time dependency of the VTH shift, thereby indicating thermal acceleration of negative charge trapping. VTH recovery is also observed using SC measurements. Similar measurements are performed on Si IGBTs with no observable impact of VGS stress on SC measurements. In conclusion, a test methodology for investigating the impact of BTI on SC characteristics is presented along with key results showing the electrothermal dynamics of parallel devices under SC conditions.

The article considers the results of the analysis of autotransformers operation mode monitoring. The time diagram of active load current and oil temperature of autotransformer TashTES AT-3 is established and during one year changes of these variables and basic parameters of autotransformer were observed. Technical faults of the power transformer and high power autotransformer are established and methods of their elimination are determined. Damage of transformers and autotransformers with voltage of 110-500 kV of about 30% of the total number of outages which were accompanied by internal short-circuits and two main causes of damage were determined. The main causes of technological failures, which were not accompanied by internal short-circuits, are as follows: 20% of failures in operation of the onload tap-changer, 16% of oil leaks from the bushings, 13% of oil leaks and lowering of oil from the transformer due to violation of welded joints and rubber seals, 4% of engine damage to oil pumps of the cooling system, 3% of pressure increase in high-voltage hermetic bushings, 2% of film protection shell damage. The main reasons of technological violations accompanied by internal short-circuit in the transformer are as follows: breakdown of internal insulation of highvoltage bushings, insufficient short-circuit resistance, wear and tear of winding insulation, breakdown of insulation.

Abstract. The load current aff ects the value of the short-circuit current in the electric network and, consequently, the voltage value. In some cases, this infl uence must be taken into account for the correct choice of switching devices, remote monitoring the operating modes of electric networks, and determining the modes. It is possible to disconnect loads connected through magnetic starters and contactors. Failure to consider the infl uence of the load current can lead to an incorrect interpretation of the identifi ed grid operating modes during remote monitoring and, as a result, incorrect dispatcher’s decisions. In addition, it is also insuffi cient to specify the choice of switching devices in the 10 kV feed network. The article describes a method for analyzing the three-phase short circuit mode in a 10 kV feed network, taking into account the infl uence of load currents. The method is exemplifi ed by the case of an actual electric network – the 10 kV ring feed network containing reclosers and receiving power from diff erent sections of lowvoltage buses of the “Kulikovskaya” 110/35/10 kV substation, belonging to the Branch of PJSC «DGC of Center”-“Orelenergo.” For this network, the values of the three-phase short-circuit currents at points with diff erent distances from the substation buses have been determined. The authors have fi guredout the values of the load currents and their shares in the total short-circuit current. The voltage values at different points of the network in the case of short circuits have also been determined. The research proves that the effect of the load current on the total short-circuit current should be taken into account for the case of remote short circuits.

Definition Of

Serosal addition of muscarinic agonists elicited rapid changes in electrical parameters across the isolated canine esophageal epithelium set up in vitro. Both carbachol and the M1-selective agonist, McNeil A343 (McN), increased transmucosal potential differences (PDs), decreased transmucosal resistances (R), and increased short-circuit currents (Isc). Carbachol was more potent and more effective than McN. Muscarinic antagonists were used to define the muscarinic receptor involved. The pA2 values obtained with Schild plots were as follows: atropine 9.14, 4-DAMP 8.98, AFDX-116 6.71, and pirenzepine 7.12. Low concentrations of pirenzepine (10(-8) M), produced a rightward shift in the dose-response curve to McN, without inhibiting responses to carbachol. Thus the receptor subtype is clearly not an M2. As in other glandular systems, M3 receptors are present. Whether M1 receptors also exist requires better definition of receptor densities-reserves in this tissue. Carbachol induced net secretion of Na and Cl and converted a predominantly absorptive tissue to a secretory one.
