The problem of securely reconnecting active distribution networks (ADNs) - e.g. microgrids - to their upstream grids at the point of common coupling (PCC) has been extensively discussed by the existing literature. The latter is commonly referred to as resy ...
Objective: To investigate (i) typical protocols used in research on biomechanical response to running-induced fatigue, (ii) the effect of sport-induced acute fatigue on the biomechanics of running and functional tests, and (iii) the consistency of analyzed ...
While the extant innovation literature has provided extensive evidence of the so-called "demand-pull" effect, the possible diverse impact of demand evolution on product vs process innovation activities has not been yet investigated. This paper develops a f ...
In 1909, Rafael Guastavino Jr. designed the 93-foot-wide dome of the Cathedral of St John the Divine, Harlem, NY. As the thinnest brick shell in the world, the dome is also a clear example of construction efficiency and material optimization. This paper re ...
We present a probabilistic approach to quantify the hazard posed by volcanic ballistic projectiles (VBP) and their potential impact on the built environment. A model named Great Balls of Fire (GBF) is introduced to describe ballistic trajectories of VBPs a ...
Trade credit arises when a buyer delays payment for purchased goods or services. Its nature has predominantly been an area of inquiry for researchers from the disciplines of finance, marketing, and economics but it has received relatively little attention ...
A good biocompatibility, excellent mechanical properties and high corrosion resistance characterize CoCrMo alloys. Therefore they are widely used for artificial joints in biomedical implants. However, the degradation of the implants during service life lea ...
Prior literature tells us VCs are responsible for ousting founders from their leadership positions and replacing them with professional management around IPO time. This argument assumes all founders are equally incapable of running a company beyond the ini ...
The Cu-Ge binary system was assessed thermodynamically using the CALPHAD method through Thermocalc (R) software package based on the evaluation of all available experimental data from the published literature. The solution phases, including liquid, fcc, hc ...
