Low-Voltage High-Linearity Wideband Current Differencing Transconductance Amplifier and Its Application on Current-Mode Active Filter
A low-voltage high-linearity wideband current differencing transconductance amplifier (CDTA) is presented in this paper. The CDTA consists of a current differencing circuit and a cross-coupling transconductance circuit. The PSPICE simulations of the proposed CDTA show a good performance: -3dB frequency bandwith is about 900 MHz, low power consumption is 2.48 mW, input current linear range is ±100 µA and low current-input resistance is less than 20 Ω, high current-output resistance is more than 3 MΩ. PSpice simulations for a current-mode universal filter and a proposed high-order filter are also conducted, and the results verify the validity of the proposed CDTA
Highly Ionised Gas as a Diagnostic of the Inner NLR
The spectra of AGN from the ultraviolet to the near infrared, exhibit
emission lines covering a wide range of ionisation states, from neutral species
such as [O I] 6300A, up to [Fe XIV] 5303A. Here we report on some recent
studies of the properties of highly ionised lines (HILs), plus two case studies
of individual objects. Future IFU observations at high spatial and good
spectral resolution, will probe the excitation and kinematics of the gas in the
zone between the extended NLR and unresolved BLR. Multi-component SED fitting
can be used to link the source of photoionisation with the strengths and ratios
of the HILs.Comment: Proceedings of the IAU Symposium: Co-evolution of Central Black Holes

SimCrime: A Spatial Microsimulation Model for the Analysing of Crime in Leeds.
This Working Paper is a part of PhD thesis 'Modelling Crime: A Spatial Microsimulation Approach' which aims to investigate the potential of spatial microsimulation for modelling crime. This Working Paper presents SimCrime, a static spatial microsimulation model for crime in Leeds. It is designed to estimate the likelihood of being a victim of crime and crime rates at the small area level in Leeds and to answer what-if questions about the effects of changes in the demographic and socio-economic characteristics of the future population. The model is based on individual microdata. Specifically, SimCrime combines individual microdata from the British Crime Survey (BCS) for which location data is only at the scale of large areas, with census statistics for smaller areas to create synthetic microdata estimates for output areas ?(OAs) in Leeds using a simulated annealing method. The new microdata dataset includes all the attributes from the original datasets. This allows variables such as crime victimisation from the BCS to be directly estimated for OAs
Analysis of hadronic invariant mass spectrum in inclusive charmless semileptonic B decays
We make an analysis of the hadronic invariant mass spectrum in inclusive
charmless semileptonic B meson decays in a QCD-based approach. The decay width
is studied as a function of the invariant mass cut. We examine their
sensitivities to the parameters of the theory. The theoretical uncertainties in
the determination of from the hadronic invariant mass spectrum are
investigated. A strategy for improving the theoretical accuracy in the value of
is described.Comment: 13 pages, 5 Postscript figure
Coulomb Distortion Effects for (e,e'p) Reactions at High Electron Energy
We report a significant improvement of an approximate method of including
electron Coulomb distortion in electron induced reactions at momentum transfers
greater than the inverse of the size of the target nucleus. In particular, we
have found a new parametrization for the elastic electron scattering phase
shifts that works well at all electron energies greater than 300 . As an
illustration, we apply the improved approximation to the reaction
from medium and heavy nuclei. We use a relativistic ``single particle'' model
for as as applied to and to recently measured data
at CEBAF on to investigate Coulomb distortion effects while
examining the physics of the reaction.Comment: 14 pages, 3 figures, PRC submitte

A review of microgrid development in the United States – A decade of progress on policies, demonstrations, controls, and software tools
Microgrids have become increasingly popular in the United States. Supported by favorable federal and local policies, microgrid projects can provide greater energy stability and resilience within a project site or community. This paper reviews major federal, state, and utility-level policies driving microgrid development in the United States. Representative U.S. demonstration projects are selected and their technical characteristics and non-technical features are introduced. The paper discusses trends in the technology development of microgrid systems as well as microgrid control methods and interactions within the electricity market. Software tools for microgrid design, planning, and performance analysis are illustrated with each tool's core capability. Finally, the paper summarizes the successes and lessons learned during the recent expansion of the U.S. microgrid industry that may serve as a reference for other countries developing their own microgrid industries
