Behavior of axially loaded drilled shaft foundations with symmetric voids outside and inside the caging by Abishdid, Caesar

“…During the construction process, different types of anomalies such as necking, soft-bottom gap at the base, voids and soil intrusions can occur. Anomalies throughout the length can significantly reduce the axial load capacity of the drilled shaft. …”

Modular MV Naturally Balanced Converter With High-Frequency Isolation and No DC-Link Capacitor for EV Fast Charging by Andrei Blinov (17983822)

“…<p dir="ltr">This article presents and verifies the concept of a converter for a medium-voltage (MV) electric vehicle (EV) charging station that employs high-frequency (HF) galvanic isolation and features no dc link capacitor. The system is based on multicell boost (MCB) topology; however, instead of a conventional two-stage configuration with dc link, isolated current source converter (iCSC)-based cells are used. …”

Analysis of the Capacitor-Less D-STATCOM for Voltage Profile Improvement in Distribution Network With High PV Penetration by Wesam Rohouma (16904871)

“…Traditional approaches like switched capacitors cannot provide reactive power that is continuously adjustable at short time scales. This paper examines an alternative distribution static synchronous compensator (D-STATCOM) based on a matrix converter (MC) for the low voltage distribution networks with high PV penetration. …”

Ultraliser: a framework for creating multiscale, high-fidelity and geometrically realistic 3D models for <i>in silico</i> neuroscience by Marwan Abdellah (4435360)

“…<h3>Abstract</h3><p dir="ltr">Ultraliser is a neuroscience-specific software framework capable of creating accurate and biologically realistic 3D models of complex neuroscientific structures at intracellular (e.g. mitochondria and endoplasmic reticula), cellular (e.g. neurons and glia) and even multicellular scales of resolution (e.g. cerebral vasculature and minicolumns). …”
