Harness Electricity, Free the Mules: Animal Rights and the Electrification of the Streetcars in New Orleans
<p>Prior to the streetcar lines being electrified in the late 1800s, equines pulled the cars. The quadrupeds that pulled the horsecars in New Orleans, Louisiana, were area specific: New Orleans had mules, not horses. The mule in the South is typically associated with the rural South; however, in …

ACCURACY IMPROVEMENT OF CABLE HARNESS MODELING & ANALYTICAL MODELING OF MULTI-REFLECTIONS IN HIGH-SPEED SIGNAL CHANNELS
<p>"Cable harnesses are widely used in modern vehicles to power electric systems locating at different locations throughout the vehicle and to establish signal channels for data communications between these systems. Generally, a cable harness consists of multiple wires and its geometry can be very …
