Effects of particle shape and flexibility on suspension dynamics
Particles suspended in a Newtonian fluid may lead to non-Newtonian behaviour, depending on their shape and flexibility. Particles can now be precisely engineered from linked, double-stranded DNA sequences or rods. To design functional nano-materials from these systems, it is important to predict …

New methods for the protection of embedded generators against the loss of utility networks.
The importance of being able to reliably detect Loss of Mains (LOM) for Embedded Generation (EG) has been much documented. In particular it is very difficult for current methods to detect LOM when the EG is "islanded" with part of the Utility Load which has a similar capacity to the EG. For these …
