Application of Conservative Power Theory for Active Power Filtering of Line-Commutated HVDC for Offhsore Wind Power
No full textThis work relates to active power filtering of line-commutated HVDC system using the definitions of active, reactive, and distortion power presented in one of the several power theories. The behavior of the rectifier terminal of a six-pulse, line-commutated, series compensated HVDC system is analyzed for instantaneous power oscillations. Shunt compensation is done based on the power theory under discussion and the results are compared to the system without shunt compensation. Simulation results reveal the adequateness of the suggested current injection strategy

The spread of luxury culture amongst Kuwaiti women. Analysis of luxury brand development in Kuwait from the oil discovery until present
No full textThis research investigates the distinct characteristics of Kuwaiti heritage in the context of textile and fashion accessories. Moreover, it addresses how these characteristics can be used in the creation of new contemporary designs that reflect Kuwaiti women’s cultural identity at the current time and are perceived as luxury fashion. Luxury has always been associated with privileged and high-class people who use it as a tool to distinguish themselves from the public in any society. This has been practiced as far back as ancient civilisations such as the Ancient Egyptians and Greeks. In Kuwait, before the discovery and production of oil, Kuwaiti society was predominantly living in modesty and poverty, luxury being exclusive to merchants and the ruling family since they could afford it and, importantly, had access to it. Nowadays, a phenomenon exists, mostly among women in Kuwaiti society, in which women’s identity and social status are determined by the visible brands and luxury fashion logos they choose to wear. This research concentrates on the spread of luxury culture in Kuwait from the period just before the discovery of oil until the current time. Furthermore, the research investigates the relationship between the formation of cultural identity and luxury fashion brands within the context of Kuwait. The purpose of this study is to investigate the main factors and events that have a significant impact on Kuwaiti women’s tendency towards the acquisition of Western luxury fashion brands. In addition, it aims to identify the factors that have remarkably contributed to changing the perception of luxury in Kuwaiti society, in order to understand the relationship between luxury and the formation of cultural identity. The researcher uses interviews as the main method for data collection and deploys observation, analysis of visual evidences and participation as supporting methods. Moreover, the chosen strategy is mainly employed in the form of a case study and action research. This study found that there is usually a model for the spread of luxury culture in any society. Kuwait passed through a number of phases in that model within almost 75 years. Currently, Kuwaiti women are recognizing the concept of luxury fashion through their access to Western luxury brands. They wear luxury fashion brands as a means of defining their social position in society, demonstrating that they are economically capable of purchasing expensive fashion labels. However, they are defining their cultural identity through other aspects than fashion. Moreover, both cultural identity and perception of luxury are constantly changing and are influenced and shaped by the surrounding dynamic environment
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods

Los subterfugios digitales de Jafar Panahi
Get PDFDos temas se encuentran en la aplaudida cinematografía de Jafar Panahi (1960): la exposición de las contradicciones de la sociedad iraní y el cuestionamiento del dispositivo cinematográfico. El abordaje de ambas problemáticas ha continuado en la última década, a pesar de la prohibición de dirigir impuesta por los ayatolás. Esto ha sido posible, en gran medida, por las oportunidades que supone la digitalización de las formas de registro y distribución del material audiovisual. En largometrajes como Este no es un filme (2011) y Taxi (2015), Panahi continúa con el examen de las convenciones cinematográficas que comenzó en El espejo (1997), e invita a ver un filme que “se hace solo”, es decir un dispositivo que funciona sin la participación de un director o narrador consciente, sino por la simple actividad de un camarógrafo (que no acepta instrucciones) o la operación de un artefacto (la cámara en la cabina del taxi o en el teléfono celular de uno de los pasajeros). De esta manera, Panahi elude la censura gubernamental, al mismo tiempo que hace evidentes ciertos rasgos de la narración audiovisual en el contexto de la digitalización y las nuevas tecnologías
