Power transformer magnetization under GIC/GMD
Geomagnetically induced currents (GIC) could saturate a transformer core. Two significant effects are the abnormal stray flux in transformers and extremely large harmonic contents in excitation currents, which can lead to serious equipment damage and power system misoperation. Such incidents have …

Optical absorption of pure and mixed silver halides a low temperatures
The low level indirect optical absorption of pure AgCl and AgBr has been measured between 4.20 K and0 77 K . The corresponding indirect optical absorption of AgCl~AgBr mixed crystals has also been measured in the same temperature range. The temperature dependence of the absorption spectra of pure …

I. Direct observation of o-xylylene (o-quinodimethane) in solution, Dimerization kinetics of some o-quinodimethanes; II. Kinetic and product studies on the dimerization of [alpha]-methyl-substituted o-quinodimethanes; III. Direct observation of 1,2-napthoquinodimethane and 9,10-phenanthroquinodimethane, Dimerization kinetics of resonance-stabilized o-quinodimethanes
<p>Fluoride ion induced 1,4-elimination from o (trimethylsilyl)- methyl benzyl trimethylammonium iodide (7) has been used to generate o-xylylene (1) in solution. o-Xylylene (1) was observed directly in solution by UV-visible spectroscopy. Using stopped-flow UV-visible spectroscopy it was determined …

Topics in Probabilistic Combinatorics
This thesis consists of an introduction and eight chapters, each devoted to a different combinatorial problem. In Chapter 2, we study problems regarding reconstructing the entirety, or a large subset, of a point set $V$ embedded in either $\mathbb{R}$ or $\mathbb{R}^d$, where the only information …
