Operation of a wind turbine permanent magnet synchronous generator (PMSG) for ancillary frequency support services by Aras Ghafoor, Judith Apsley, Dlzar Al Kez, Siniša Djurović

“…However, controlled WT over-rating could also be used to deliver additional power in high wind conditions, but remains as of yet unexplored in the context of ancillary service provision. This paper proposes a new enhanced power recovery through overload (EPRO) strategy, combining pitch angle and field weakening controllers for overspeed/overload operation while considering the thermal state of the generator to exploit its thermal rating margin for increased power flow. …”

A comparative analysis of the development modes of the IoT for telecom operators by Kaikai LIU, Xun ZHANG

“…In recent years,the development of IoT is in full swing.It is of great significance for the current transformation and development of domestic telecom operators.In this context,the business model is very important for operators to achieve “overtaking” in the IoT industry.Based on the analysis of the operation status of the IoT of operators,the development strategies of the IoT industry at home and abroad were compared,and three different development strategies was summarized.Telecom operators had advantages in customers,channels and other aspects,but limited by many factors.It was suggested that in constructing the development model,they should follow the principle of gradual progress,fully according to their own enterprise positioning,combined with national policies,pay attention to their own positioning in the industry chain of the IoT,pay attention to risks,and ultimately realize it.Better development model improve the current situation of increasing revenue in the telecommunications industry.…”

Le réseau hydraulique à Pompéi (Italie) de l’époque des Samnites à Auguste (fin ive-fin ier s. av. J.-C.) by Federico Giletti

“…While the latter type appears equally in both private and public contexts, the burrow cistern by contrast differs in that it is excavated entirely into the lava stratum and has been demonstrated, as far as we currently know, only on the main outcrops of the lava plateau, such as on the rocky crest of the southern drop in height below insula 2 of Regio VIII.While the type of cistern with a burrow or bainhole seems to have been inspired by models already widespread in Punic-Carthaginian sites in Africa and on the islands and in the Magna-Greek area, cases of cisterns with a burrow collected to several arms primarily bear strong similarities to Etruscan-Latian examples, as does the technique of drainage tunnels entirely excavated in the geological bank and the custom of digging deep artesian wells. …”

“…Cancer stem cells (CSCs) account for 0.01 to 2% of the total tumor mass; however, they play a key role in tumor progression, metastasis and resistance to current cancer therapies. The generation and maintenance of CSCs are usually linked to the epithelial–mesenchymal transition (EMT), a dynamic process involved in reprogramming cancer cells towards a more aggressive and motile phenotype with increased stemness potential. …”
