This work proposes an optimized design methodology for static converters applied to systems where the processed energy is discontinuous and/or variable over time. It will be demonstrated that in these cases, it is not ...

The use of renewable energy boosts economic growth combined with sustainable development. Photovoltaic solar energy generated from solar radiation is a renewable source that contributes to this. The building applied ...

The present work carried out a comparative study between static and dynamic analyses in a self-supporting steel lattice tower under action of extended pressure system (EPS) winds while considering soil-structure interaction ...

In the face of broad discussions about sustainable development, energy efficiency and bioclimatic architecture, more and more actions are needed to enable energy saving in civil construction. In order to do this, it has ...

The present work it’s about an study of protection of AC transmission lines connected to high voltage direct current (HVDC) systems. First, it presents a theoretical foundation regarding the protection functions and ...

New nanofiber materials composed of chitosan/nylon 6 and tannin/nylon 6 were prepared by the Forcespinning method and were used as adsorbents for the removal of chromium VI from aqueous solutions. Under optimum experimental ...

Behavioral Finance is a field that studies the influence of the psychological aspects of indi-viduals in the process of decision making regarding their finances. Generally, during the de-cision-making process, investors ...

Public management plays a fundamental role in stimulating economic development and reducing social inequality that mark the country. Inserted in an environment of approximation between society and public management, the ...

This master dissertation presents the development of current control strategies and the development of rotor speed observers using Backstepping algorithms. The Backstepping algorithm is a recursive method used for ...

The increase in traffic volume and the appearance of heavier vehicles are causing a greater degradation and deformation in the Brazilian road network, consequently raising maintenance costs, forcing managers and researchers ...
