Unawareness and Partitional Information Structures
1999
Abstract We claim first that simple uncertainty is not an adequate model of a subject's ignorance, because a major component of it is the inability to give a complete description of the states of the world, and we provide a formal model of unawareness. In Modica and Rustichini (1994) we showed a difficulty in the project, namely that without weakening of the inference rules of the logic one would face the unpleasant alternative between full awareness and full unawareness. In this paper we study a logical system where non full awareness is possible, and prove that a satisfactory solution to the problem can be found by introducing limited reasoning ability of the subject. A determination theo…
Impedance of space-charge-limited currents in organic light-emitting diodes with double injection and strong recombination
2006
The impedance model for a one-carrier space-charge-limited (SCL) current has been applied to explain some experimental features of double carrier organic light-emitting diodes. We report the analytical model of impedance of bipolar drift transport in SCL regime in the limit of infinite recombination. In this limit the ac impedance function is identical to that of a single carrier device, with a transit time modified by the sum of mobilities for electrons and holes, μn+μp. The static capacitance C(ω→0) is a factor of ¾ lower than the geometric capacitance, as observed for single carrier devices, but it is shifted to higher frequencies. It follows that impedance measurements in the dual-carri…
Currents Distribution During a Fault in an MV Network: Methods and Measurements
2016
When a single line to ground fault happens on the MV side of a HV/MV system, only a small portion of the fault current is injected into the ground by the ground-grid of the faulty substation. In fact the fault current is distributed between grounding electrodes and MV cables sheaths. In systems with isolated neutral or with resonant earthing this may be sufficient to provide safety from electric shock. Experimental measurements were performed on a real MV distribution network: a real single line to ground fault was made and fault currents were measured in the faulty substation and in four neighboring substations. In this paper the problem of fault current distribution is introduced, the tes…
Arc Fault Detection Method Based on CZT Low-Frequency Harmonic Current Analysis
2017
This paper presents a method for the detection of series arc faults in electrical circuits, which has been developed starting from an experimental characterization of the arc fault phenomenon and an arcing current study in several test conditions. Starting from this, the authors have found that is it possible to suitably detect arc faults by means of a high-resolution low-frequency harmonic analysis of current signal, based on chirp zeta transform, and a proper set of indicators. The proposed method effectiveness is shown by means of experimental tests, which were carried in both arcing and nonarcing conditions and in the presence of different loads, chosen according to the UL 1699 standard…
Reducing DC Link Voltage Unbalance in a Fault-Tolerant Inverter
2014
Today, continuous working of power inverter drives is mandatory for several applications. Damages to materials, machines or even risks to human life have to be absolutely avoided. In the literature, fault-tolerant algorithms and architectures to achieve a successful fault handling are investigated. Researchers aim at reducing the number and cost of additional components, improving at the same time the inverter performances under postfault conditions. Cost, post-fault power derating and increasing distortion are usually conflicting requirements. In this paper, a fault-tolerant three phase inverter is presented. A reconfigurable architecture and a novel fault-tolerant algorithm is designed to…
Control of solid-state fault current limiter for DG-integrated distribution systems
2017
Fault current limier (FCL) is a device that limits the system current under fault conditions without disconnecting the system and affecting the power system protection components such as circuit breakers. Many types of FCLs have been proposed to limit the magnitude of the fault current. Solid-state fault current limiters (SSFCLs) can limit the peak value of the fault current by applying several methods, such as controlling the system impedance or controlling the voltage that appears across the fault. In this paper, a new control scheme for the SSFCL circuit is presented. The control method is based on controlling the duty cycle of solid state switches to control the rms value of the system …
Current and Voltage Behaviour During a Fault in a HV/MV System: Methods and Measurements

Limited English proficiency : case studies of Finns with limited English proficiency
2017
Englannin näkyvyys suomalaisessa yhteiskunnassa on kasvanut vahvasti viime vuosikymmenien aikana. Englannin rooli ja sen merkitys suomalaisten elämässä on lisääntynyt erityisesti nuorten parissa. Aikaisemmat tutkimukset työelämästä viittaavat siihen, että englannin kielen taito nähdään jopa perusosana ammatillista osaamista. Tiedemaailmassa taas on havahduttu siihen, että tiedekeskustelu tapahtuu yhä useammin englanniksi suomen kielen kustannuksella. Tämä saattaa vaikeuttaa osaltaan suomalaisten korkeakoulujen mahdollisuuksia käyttää suomenkielistä opetusmateriaalia. Samaan aikaan noin joka neljäs suomalainen arvio itse oman englannin kielen taitonsa puutteelliseksi. Näin ollen herääkin kys…

2010
Abstract In this paper we study a Fisher–Kolmogorov type equation with a flux limited diffusion term and we prove the existence and uniqueness of finite speed moving fronts and the existence of some explicit solutions in a particular regime of the equation.
