(2016-12-19)
Procedures for determining the requirements for the connection of fluctuating installations in MV, HV, and EHV power systems are provided in IEC Technical Report 61000-3-7. The objective is to provide guidance to system ...
A New Solution to the Intersection Problem of Mendelsohn Triple Systems
(2012-03-29)
The thesis provides an alternate solution to the intersection problem, in which the goal is to determine the set of all values for which there exists a pair of Mendelsohn Triple Systems having this exact value of cyclic ...
A New Spin on an Old Crop for Bioenergy: Sorghum
(2010-08-02)
According to Renewable Fuels Standard (RFS) – Energy Policy Act of 2005, the U.S. must reduce foreign oil dependence, where the target is to produce 36 billion gallons of oil equivalent in 2022 (RFA, 2010). Cellulosic ...
New Statistical Learning for Next-Generation Functional Data and Spatial Data
(2022-03-18)
Advancements of modern technology have enabled the collection of sophisticated, high-dimensional data sets, such as 3D images, high dimensional data and other objects living in a functional space. As such, boosting the ...
New Venture Success: The Role of Principal's Social Capital and Social Effectiveness
(2007-08-15)
Previous empirical research indicates that founder social capital and founder social effectiveness may both be beneficial during the venture creation process. However, few, if any, studies have examined the combined influence ...
New Warehouse Designs: Angled Aisles and Their Effects on Travel Distance
(2011-07-07)
This dissertation presents new, improved aisle designs for warehouses where there are different material flows. The goal is to reduce travel distance to pick and store an item in a warehouse. The approach is to design cross ...
New-Generation Electron Propagators for Molecules, Ions, and Clusters
(2025-07-31)
New ab initio electron propagator self-energies (one-particle Green’s function methods) for calculating electron binding energies and Dyson orbitals have been derived from an intermediately normalized, Hermitized superoperator ...
Newcomers’ Trait Affectivity and Social Assimilation in Organizations
(2017-05-16)
Becoming assimilated into the organizational social environment is critical and challenging to newcomers. This study examined whether newcomers’ trait positive affectivity (PA) and negative affectivity (NA) could predict ...
