Stabilization of Pluronic P-105 Micelles with an Interpenetrating Network of N,N-Diethylacrylamide by Pruitt, John D.

“…The polymerizations resulted in an interpenetrating network of poly(NNDEA) and P-105 that stabilized the micelles at concentrations below the critical micellar concentration of free P-105. The NNDEA was cross-linked with N,N′-bis(acryoyl)cystamine (BAC), and the degree of micellar stability was determined using dynamic light scattering and the fluorescent probe diphenylhexatriene (DPH).The increased micellar stability was not permanent and disappeared over a time period of days to weeks.…”

A control algorithm to increase the efficient operation of wind energy conversion systems under extreme wind conditions by Nyam Jargalsaikhan (17380429)

“…<p dir="ltr">This paper aims to increase the power production of gearless permanent magnet synchronous generator (PMSG) based wind energy conversion systems (WECS) in strong (greater than 25 m/s) wind speed regions. In general, most wind turbines cut off when wind speed is over the cut-out rate; as a result, the power generation of the wind farm decreases. …”
