The increase in floods as a consequence of climate change is causing considerable concern in vulnerable localities.The community of Pandora Oeste in Costa Rica has experienced increasingly frequent flooding.Therefore, the aim of this study was to describe the social vulnerability to flood risk, associated with people and housing characteristics, as

A method is proposed for reducing speed ripple of permanent magnet synchronous motors (PMSMs) controlled by space vector pulse width modulation (SVPWM).A flux graph and mathematics are used to analyze the speed ripple characteristics of the PMSM.Analysis indicates that the 6P (P refers to Alarms - Alarm Systems pole pairs of the PMSM) time harmonic

In recent times, the recommender systems (RSs) have considerable importance in academia, commercial activities, and industry.They are widely used in various domains such as shopping (Amazon), music (Pandora), movies (Netflix), travel (TripAdvisor), restaurant (Yelp), people (Facebook), and articles (TED).Most of the RSs approaches rely on a single-

Renal artery stenting has been established as the primary form of renal artery stenosis revascularization procedure.The no-touch technique is proposed in order to avoid renal artery injury and atheroembolism during renal artery stenting.We describe a modification of the no-touch technique by using an over-the-wire (OTW) balloon or a Quickcross cath

The article presents design engineering methods for the high-voltage pulse installations of technological purpose for disinfection of drinking water, sewage, and edible liquids by high field micro- and nanosecond pulsing exposure.Designing potentialities are considered of the principal elements of the high-voltage part and the discharge circuit of
