Conduit:Wire Connectors Fashion communication has adopted a decidedly political language of late.This is particularly evident in the ongoing debate about gender and clothing.While clothes, per se, have no definite gender connotations, on a symbolic level clothes do actually hold specific gender connotations.In the current climate of ongoing deconst
Geometry Design for DOA Estimation in Seismic 2D-Arrays: Simulation Study
Sensor array geometry has a direct impact on the direction-of-arrival (DOA) estimation of a seismic signal.In this paper, we design a planar array that aims to optimize the DOA estimation of a narrowband signal in the sense of the minimum mean-squared-periodic-error (MSPE) obtained by the maximum a-posteriori (MAP) estimator of the DOA.We investiga
Illusory Rotation of a Spoked Wheel
A disk was divided into 16 stationary sectors of different grey levels that stepped around clockwise.When thin stationary spokes of constant mid-grey separated the sectors, the spokes showed robust and striking counterclockwise Shorts apparent motion, and when stopped, they gave a brisk clockwise motion aftereffect.The spokes had to match the grey
Online Dispatch of Shared Energy Storage with Remote Renewable Generations
The sustained penetration of wind and solar generation is conducive to alleviating the energy crisis and environmental pollution.However, the finite capacity of transmission corridor limits the delivery of remote renewables and leads to curtailment.Energy storage plays an important role in renewables accommodation and improving equipment utilizatio
