Influence of ageing on oil degradation and gassing tendency under high-energy electrical discharge faults for mineral oil and synthetic ester

open access: yesHigh Voltage, 2020
In this work, mineral oil and synthetic esters were selected at different ageing factors (based on acidity values). Fresh and aged oils have been subjected to high-energy discharges (repeated 100 breakdowns) to simulate electric faults of highly ...

How effective are entomopathogenic nematodes for vine weevil (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) biological control? A meta‐analysis

open access: yesPest Management Science, EarlyView.
Entomopathogenic nematodes provide reliable biological control of vine weevil larvae, reducing populations by 63% on average. All five tested species are effective, with temperature (18–30 °C) being the strongest predictor of success. Abstract BACKGROUND Vine weevil (Otiorhynchus sulcatus) is a globally important pest of soft fruit and ornamental crops

Coordinating representation registers: linear algebra students' understanding of orthogonal Legendre polynomials in the inner product space ℙn in a technology-assisted learning environment

open access: yesAnnales de Didactique et de Sciences Cognitives, 2018
The purpose of this research study was to understand how linear algebra students in a university in the United States make sense of the orthogonal Legendre polynomials as vectors of the inner product space ℙn in a DGS (Dynamic Geometry Software)-MATLAB ...

Inefficient star formation through turbulence, magnetic fields and feedback

open access: yes, 2015
Star formation is inefficient. Only a few percent of the available gas in molecular clouds forms stars, leading to the observed low star formation rate (SFR). The same holds when averaged over many molecular clouds, such that the SFR of whole galaxies is

Power transformer dissolved gas analysis through Bayesian networks and hypothesis testing [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Accurate diagnosis of power transformers is critical for the reliable and cost-effective operation of the power grid. Presently there are a range of methods and analytical models for transformer fault diagnosis based on dissolved gas analysis.

Overcoming barriers? The mixed results of social innovation accelerator programs for women entrepreneurs

open access: yesStrategic Management Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Research Summary Entrepreneurship accelerators are increasingly promoted as structural interventions to close gender gaps, yet studies have not established a differential impact of participation for women. This prior evidence—drawn from high‐tech, male‐dominated settings—may overlook how outcomes differ in more feminized domains such as social

On column density thresholds and the star formation rate [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
We present the results of a numerical study designed to address the question of whether there is a column density threshold for star formation within molecular clouds. We have simulated a large number of different clouds, with volume and column densities

‘We Are Only Playing’: Reflections on the Pandemic's Effects on Immigrant Preschoolers' Mentalisation and Play During the Sand Play Workshops

open access: yesChildren &Society, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Mentalisation and symbolisation are important processes to support children in understanding their lived experience. By expressing what is most salient to them through pretend play, children can normally develop their capacity to mentalise and symbolise, which helps them cope with adversity.

Fault Prediction for Power Transformer Using Optical Spectrum of Transformer Oil and Data Mining Analysis

open access: yesIEEE Access, 2020
Periodic preventive maintenance of power transformer should be conducted for its health monitoring and early fault detection. Transformer oil is a vital element where its contents and properties need to be monitored during the service life of a power ...
