Efficient transient simulation of transmission lines

The paper focuses on revealing the salient structural aspects of a new transmission-line model with a view to exploiting them for gains in efficiency and accuracy. The new transmission-line model has as its basis the Telegraphers Equations but the manner of solution is what distinguishes the new approach from existing transmission-line simulation techniques. The technique is based on identifying natural modes of oscillation on the transmission line. The result is a model structure which can be tailored to the accuracy requirements of a simulation and which is amenable to tuning to fit measured admittance data

Modern Misconceptions on the Wall of Separation: An Analysis on the Influence and Misinterpretation of Jefferson’s Separation of Church and State

The symbolic concept of separation between church and state defines the relationship between government and religion. While Jefferson did not author the phrase, the third President of the United States promoted the philosophy of a wall of separation between church and state in his letter to the Danbury Baptists in 1802. Jefferson’s support for a wall of separation stemmed from a strong belief in liberty of conscience and relied heavily upon the conviction to protect religious liberty. Through an analysis on the contextual history of the phrase, the original intent and application of separation of church and state becomes evident. By examining Jefferson’s original intent behind the concept of a wall of separation, a proper interpretation of this philosophy will demonstrate appropriate protection for both religion and government. Later paraphrased “separation of church and state,” this political concept has been misconstrued from Jefferson’s original meaning. Recent Supreme Court interpretations have misinterpreted the concept as freedom from religion, instead of freedom of religion.The Supreme Court has mistakenly categorized the wall of separation as a summary of the First Amendment and cited Jefferson’s phrase as judicial precedent in numerous cases, resulting in a misrepresentation of Jefferson’s concepts. This misrepresentation subsequently affected the judicial rulings of succeeding courts

Accountability in International Project Finance: The Equator Principles and the Creation of Third-Party-Beneficiary Status for Project-Affected Communities

The creation of a third-party-beneficiary interest is a method to police the actions of entities doing business abroad. This Note discusses the viability of gleaning from the Principles a third-party-beneficiary right for project-affected communities to ensure compliance with the Industry\u27s social and environmental standards. Part I defines project finance, discusses the emergence of social and environmental standards, such as the Principles, and describes the requirements of each of the ten individual Principles. Part II provides real world examples of the lack of effectiveness of the Principles in practice and explains some of the forces contributing to this practical failure. Part II also provides an overview of third-party-beneficiary rights in US law, describes three relevant cases involving third-party-beneficiary rights, and explains barriers to enforcement of a third-party- beneficiary claim. Finally, Part III analyzes the viability of enforcing compliance with the Principles through third-party- beneficiary rights under US contract law
