SAPF Parameter Optimization with the Application of Taguchi SNR Method

open access: yes, 2022
Non-linear devices draw non-sinusoidal currents from the source; hence, they cause harmonic distortions in power systems. The shunt active power filter (SAPF) is a well-known method for alleviating current harmonics, compensating the reactive power and ...

Objects of Affection: Deathly Encounters With Taxidermy, Stuffed Toys and Atmospheres

open access: yesChildren &Society, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper explores how children and young people relate to death through affective atmospheres and embodied, imaginative encounters with taxidermy and stuffed toy animals. Using arts‐based research (ABR), we explore how death, affective atmospheres, empathy and materiality entangle during multispecies relations.
