Pão integral. I. Parâmetros de processo.
No full textForam determinados os parâmetros de processo para a produção de pão de forma a partir de farinha integral. Observou-se que melhores resultados são obtidos com o método esponja, utilizando-se, para o desenvolvimento da massa, uma masseira lenta e cilindro ao invés de uma masseira rápida. A esponja preparada apresentou consistência mole e fermentação curta (1 hora). Também foi observado que a adição de diferentes aditivos (melhoradores) de panificação resultou em pães com diferentes características. Porém, todos os aditivos testados apresentaram efeito benéfico na qualidade final do pão de forma produzidoCBCTA; Ref. 170
Improved Superconducting Magnetic Energy Storage (SMES) Controller for High-Power Utility Applications
No full textSuperconducting magnetic energy storage (SMES) systems are getting increasing interest in applications of power flow stabilization and control in the transmission network level. This trend is mainly supported by the rising integration of large-scale renewable energy power plants into the high-power utility system and by major features of SMES units. In a SMES system, the power conditioning system (PCS) is the crucial component for controlling the power exchange between the superconducting coil and the ac system. The dynamics of the PCS directly influences the validity of the SMES in the dynamic control of the power system. This paper describes a novel PCS scheme of SMES to simultaneously perform both active and reactive power flow controls. Moreover, a detailed model of the SMES unit is derived and a three-level control scheme is designed, comprising a full decoupled current control strategy in the dq reference frame with a novel controller to prevent PCS dc bus capacitors voltage drift/imbalance. The dynamic performances of the proposed systems are fully validated by computer simulation.Fil: Molina, Marcelo Gustavo. Universidad Nacional de San Juan. Facultad de Ingeniería.

Analysis of integrated STATCOM-SMES based on three-phase three-level multi-pulse voltage source inverter for high power utility applications
No full textThis paper is aimed to investigate the operating characteristics of a static synchronous compensator (STATCOM) integrated with superconducting magnetic energy storage (SMES) for high power applications in the transmission network level. The STATCOM controller topology comprises multi-level multi-pulse neutral-point clamped-type (NPC) voltage source inverters (VSIs) using the harmonics cancellation technique, and incorporates a SMES coil. An innovative two-quadrant multi-level dcdc converter is proposed to effectively interface the STATCOM with the superconducting coil using a buck-boost topology with neutral point voltage control capabilities; thus enabling to simultaneously control both active and reactive power exchange with the high voltage power system. A detailed analysis of major system variables is presented, including analytical results and digital simulations using the MATLAB/Simulink environment. Moreover, a three-level control scheme is designed, including a full decoupled current control strategy in the dq reference frame with a novel controller to prevent the STATCOM dc bus capacitors voltage drift/imbalance and an enhanced power system frequency controller.Fil: Molina, Marcelo Gustavo.

On Watanabe\u27s theta graph diffeomorphism in the 4-sphere
No full textWatanabe\u27s theta graph diffeomorphism, constructed using Watanabe\u27s clasper surgery construction which turns trivalent graphs in 4-manifolds into parameterized families of diffeomorphisms of 4-manifolds, is a diffeomorphism of representing a potentially nontrivial smooth mapping class of . The (1,2)-subgroup of the smooth mapping class group of is the subgroup represented by diffeomorphisms which are pseudoisotopic to the identity via a Cerf family with only index 1 and 2 critical points. This author and Hartman showed that this subgroup is either trivial or has order 2 and explicitly identified a diffeomorphism that would represent the nontrivial element if this subgroup is nontrivial. Here we show that the theta graph diffeomorphism is isotopic to this one possibly nontrivial element of the (1,2)-subgroup. To prove this relation we develop a diagrammatic calculus for working in the smooth mapping class group of .16 pages, 11 figure
