MANNING THE TVA: WHITE MASCULINITIES AND ENGINEERING AT THE TENNESSEE VALLEY AUTHORITY, 1933-1953
… identities at the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) between 1933 and 1953 through a model of multiple white masculinities. Predominantly drawing on oral histories, autobiographical text, and correspondence by and involving TVA engineers and administrators, it shows how these men combined and …

PD trending and TVA test readings are good indicators of the condition of aged stator bar insulation.
Keeping generators available on-line is a major factor in achieving maximum productivity in power generation. During operation, generator components are continuously exposed to thermal, electrical, mechanical and environmental stresses. The complex interactions of these stresses degrade the …

Using Magneto-Rheological Dampers in Semiactive Tuned Vibration Absorbers to Control Structural Vibrations
… in the early 1900s, Tuned Vibration Absorbers (TVAs) have shown to be effective in suppressing vibrations of machines and structures. A vibration absorber is a vibratory subsystem attached to a primary system. It normally consists of a mass, a spring, and a damper. Mounted to the primary system, …

The Dam Fighters: Commons Environmental Rhetoric, Rhetorical Citizenship, and Local Ethos
… concerns regarding a Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) proposal between 1961 and 1972. The TVA proposal included a plan for comprehensive water resource development in western North Carolina which would have required in the implementation of 14 dams, flooding of more than 18,000 fertile …

Retrofitting the Tennessee Valley Authority
… of the New Deal, the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) was a triumph of regional and environmental design that has since fallen on hard times. When writer James Agee toured the region in 1935, he described the massive dam construction underway as a great skeleton across the valley, to be fleshed …

Μελέτη της κλινικής σημασίας της αγγειογένεσης σε ασθενείς με νόσο hodgkin
… Microvessel density (MVD), total vascular area (TVA) and several size- and shape-related microvascular parameters were quantitated in the region of most intense vascularization using image analysis. RESULTS: An increase in microvessel caliber parameters (namely area, perimeter, major axis length …

Power for the public good : energy, race and class in the United States
… Utilizing the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) as the site of investigation, I approached the central question by asking three sub-questions: 1) does electric utility ownership mode matter in the delivery of energy services; 2) did discriminatory practices exist in the policy formation and …

Characterization of an Electromagnetic Tuned Vibration Actuator
Tuned vibration absorbers (TVA) have been discussed in literature since the early twentieth century. These devices are implemented to suppress the system's vibration by transferring energy to the absorber mass. This research examines an electromagnetic tuned vibration absorber that can have its …
