Hardware Prototype for a Multi Agent Grid Management System

There is great effort in the power industry to incorporate Smart Grid functionalities to existing power systems. Distributed generation and the hardware necessary to interface the existing grid, as well as control algorithms to efficiently couple and operate these systems are being researched and implemented extensively. However, the added complexity of such components results in greater opportunities for failure in a system which is already challenging to protect.;There is great effort in the power industry to incorporate Smart Grid functionalities to existing power systems.

A Study of the Concert Arias for Bass by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart composed many arias for inclusion in his operas which were controlled in length and development by the physical conditions existing in an operatic production. However, in addition to those arias, Mozart also composed ten concert arias for the bass voice. These bass arias were intended primarily to be performed in concert with varied accompaniment, and without the additional personnel and scenery which is characteristic of an opera. It is the purpose of the writer to study these arias and present some of them in public performance. The purpose of this study is to present a detailed investigation of the concert areas for bass written by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. The writer\u27s research has revealed that the arias for the bass voice were composed during the last eight years of Mozart\u27s life. They were composed for individual persons as well as for a specific voice classification. This practice allowed Mozart to venture outside the normal range and degree of difficult in order to exploit the vocal capabilities of the individuals for whom the arias were composed. Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was one of the most prolific geniuses in the history of music. During his short life span of thirty-five years, he composed more than six hundred instrumental and vocal selections in various forms and lengths. However, in this great array of compositions only ten bass concert arias were written. Three of these arias were either lost or were never recorded except in the sketch book and notes of Mozart. This study presents information having a direct relationship to the concert arias composed for the bass voice. It is intended that through this study a keener understanding of the concert arias may be realized. Additionally, it is intended that the expectation Mozart envisioned in respect to the capabilities of the bass voice may be brought to light. To the writer\u27s knowledge no other analytical study has been made of these arias

Advancing Autonomous Operations Technologies for NASA Missions

This paper discusses the importance of implementing advanced autonomous technologies supporting operations of future NASA missions. The ability for crewed, uncrewed and even ground support systems to be capable of mission support without external interaction or control has become essential as space exploration moves further out into the solar system. The push to develop and utilize autonomous technologies for NASA mission operations stems in part from the need to reduce operations cost while improving and increasing capability and safety. This paper will provide examples of autonomous technologies currently in use at NASA and will identify opportunities to advance existing autonomous technologies that will enhance mission success by reducing operations cost, ameliorating inefficiencies, and mitigating catastrophic anomalies

Infectious Bovine Rhinotracheitis

Infectious Bovine Rhinotracheitis (IBR), also called Nectrotic Rhinitis, Red Nose, and Dust Pneumonia, has been a major feedlot problem for more than a decade. The disease was first reported from Los Angeles county California in 1954 by Schroeder and Mays. Miller observed the disease in Colorado and described it at this time as an acute respiratory condition characterized by high fever and a severe dyspnea resulting from abundant mucopurelent nasal and tracheal secretions
