In-depth and systemic examination of distribution automation with specific focus on fault location and service restoration • Focuses on the detailed and systemic examination of fault location and service restoration in distribution grid • Arms the readers with a complete picture of what fault location and service restoration is from both theoretic...

Following the successful publication of the 1st edition in 2009, the 2nd edition maintains its aim to provide an application-driven package of essential techniques in image processing and GIS, together with case studies for demonstration and guidance in remote sensing applications....

We study the limiting distributions of the solution of fractional diffusion-wave systems with subordinated Gaussian random initial data. In our work, we use homogeneous random field to model the initial data and apply the spectral representation method and multiple Wiener integrals to studying the covariance matrix functions of the random solution....

Silicon carbide is the only wide band gap semiconductor that has a native oxide, and a leading candidate for development of next-generation, energy efficient, high power metal-oxide-semiconductor field effect transistors (MOSFETs)....

Orbital debris poses significant risks to space activities and is a threat extending into the foreseeable future. While identification and tracking of orbital threats is actively pursued in general, we focus on deorbiting very small satellites of the nanosat or cubesat size with miniature tether systems. Ch....

Ever since computer is invented, more powerful software have been developed, such as amazing PC applications, multithreading programs running in servers of major web sites, etc. These powerful software push hardware especially processor design to limit. Processor cache is key to system performance....

The goal of our research was to develop a test platform that can be used to validate theoretical results on DTM under well-controlled conditions, to identify the limitations of existing theoretical results, and also to develop new and practical DTM techniques. This dissertation details the background and our research efforts in this endeavor....

Singapore Sketchbook is a celebration of streets and buildings, classic scenes and marvelous architectural details. Singapore is a thriving, modern city; but a mixture of modernity and a rich heritage, often beautifully restored, gives it a unique character. The willingness to conserve the best of Singapore?...
