Performance improvement of MO surge arrester using high gradient arrester block against VFTOs [PDF]
It is well known that the metal oxide surge arrester is inoperative against very fast transients overvoltages (VFTOs) because of its strong stray capacitive effect.

Design of a Lightning Protection System for an Overhead 3 kV DC Electrified Railway Line: A Case Study from South Africa [PDF]
A protection scheme is proposed for the 3 kV DC railway, in Kwa-Zulu Natal province, a region with a high lightning occurrence density. The surge protection was sought by implementing three metal-oxide surge arresters and an overhead ground wire.

Aging of metal oxide surge arresters is mainly affected by the high electric stress near the high voltage electrode. It has been observed that the distribution of voltage and electric field along an arrester is non‐uniform.

Will Listing Rule Reform Deliver Strong Public Markets for the UK?
There is a general consensus that the UK needs strong public equity markets. To help to ensure Britain is well‐positioned on this front, the Financial Conduct Authority reformed the London Stock Exchange's listing regime in 2021 to foster initial public offerings (IPOs).

Wake structures and performance of wind turbine rotor with harmonic surging motions under laminar and turbulent inflows [PDF]
This study presents a comprehensive numerical analysis of a full-scale horizontal-axis Floating Offshore Wind Turbine (FOWT) subjected to harmonic surging motions under both laminar and turbulent inflow conditions. Utilizing high-fidelity Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations, namely Large-Eddy Simulation (LES) with Actuator Line Model (ALM ...

State of the Field: The Modern History of Childhood
Abstract This state of the field article presents three questions for students and scholars of childhood: first, who is included in the history of childhood? Second, why does the history of childhood matter? Third, how should we do the history of childhood? It argues that all historians of childhood need to reflect upon modern developmental concepts of

A closer look at arrested spinodal decomposition in protein solutions [PDF]
Concentrated aqueous solutions of the protein lysozyme undergo a liquid solid transition upon a temperature quench into the unstable spinodal region below a characteristic arrest temperature of Tf=15C. We use video microscopy and ultra-small angle light scattering in order to investigate the arrested structures as a function of initial concentration ...
