Frequency and voltage partitioning in presence of renewable energy resources for power system (example: North Chile power network) [PDF]
This paper investigates techniques for frequency and voltage partitioning of power network based on the graph-theory. These methods divide the power system into distinguished regions to avoid the spread of disturbances and to minimize the interaction ...

Grain growth in ultrafine-grained Y-TZP ceramics [PDF]
Grain growth in dense ultrafine-grained (120–600 nm) tetragonal ZrO2-Y2O3 ceramics is studied as a function of temperature. At all temperatures investigated both segregation and phase partitioning occur.

Trace metal concentration and speciation in storm water runoff on impervious surfaces
Urban storm water runoff (USWR) often transports various trace metals, affecting the quality of receiving waters. Metal concentration and speciation in USWR were investigated by analysing data collected during a storm event on 19 July 2012.
