New generation of cable screw connectors for electrical power engineering systems

The article presents a material analysis for a new generation of cable screw connectors with shear bolts designed for not only 1st and 2nd class of cables but also 5tth class of aluminium and copper conductors that have not been previously supported. The set of properties of aluminium series 6xxx designated for screw connectors production has been determined. Finite Element Method (FEM) simulation of the controlled shear of the bolt at the body of the screw connector has been carried out. The repeatability of the bolt shear in the actual conditions was also conducted in order to verify the prototypes of the new generation of cable screw connectors

Research on the threaded connection system from AlMgSi alloy for electrical power cables under various clamping loads

This article presents strain gauge tests showing the force loads in the connection system of power cables, with AlMgSi sheer bolts. Among others, the analysis of the influence of the tightening torque of the clamping unit on the distribution of forces and the evaluation of the strain in the entire system was carried out. The knowledge of the force conditions and loads in the threaded connection system allowed to develop, with the use of Finite Element Method (FEM) modelling, the optimal geometry and material of elements for the power cable connection system

A Systematic Review of the Efficacy of Cognitive Stimulation Therapy (CST) on Quality of Life in Persons with Dementia

Quality of life (QoL) is an established outcome measure of patients with dementia and is strongly influenced by an individual\u27s environment and mood. While there are many outcomes that can be examined with Cognitive stimulation therapy (CST) interventions, this systematic review focused on quality of life

Pre-Congestion Notification marking

Pre-Congestion Notification (PCN) builds on the concepts of RFC 3168, "The addition of Explicit Congestion Notification to IP". However, Pre-Congestion Notification aims at providing notification before any congestion actually occurs. Pre-Congestion Notification is applied to real-time flows (such as voice, video and multimedia streaming) in DiffServ networks. As described in [CL-DEPLOY], it enables "pre" congestion control through two procedures, flow admission control and flow pre-emption. The draft proposes algorithms that determine when a PCN-enabled router writes Admission Marking and Pre-emption Marking in a packet header, depending on the traffic level. The draft also proposes how to encode these markings. We present simulation results with PCN working in an edge-to-edge scenario using the marking algorithms described. Other marking algorithms will be investigated in the future

An edge-to-edge Deployment Model for Pre-Congestion Notification: Admission Control over a DiffServ Region

This document describes a deployment model for pre-congestion notification (PCN) operating in a large DiffServ-based region of the Internet. PCN-based admission control protects the quality of service of existing flows in normal circumstances, whilst if necessary (eg after a large failure) pre-emption of some flows preserves the quality of service of the remaining flows. Each link has a configured-admission-rate and a configured-pre-emption-rate, and a router marks packets that exceed these rates. Hence routers give an early warning of their own potential congestion, before packets need to be dropped. Gateways around the edges of the PCN-region convert measurements of packet rates and their markings into decisions about whether to admit new flows, and (if necessary) into the rate of excess traffic that should be pre-empted. Per-flow admission states are kept at the gateways only, while the PCN markers that are required for all routers operate on the aggregate traffic - hence there is no scalability impact on interior routers
