The mechanical transduction gain of nanoelectromechanical systems (NEMS) has been thoroughly studied, but the drive power has always been a priori limited to the onset of non-linearities. Besides, the smaller the structures, the sooner non-linearities occur, reducing their dynamic range and even making extremely difficult to detect their oscillation. In this thesis, this limitation is reconsidered, i.e. the non-linear dynamics of M&NEMS, senso...

We examine the role of confidence in economic fluctuations. Empirically we examine Granger causality from consumer confidence indicator to growth of economic output in the Czech Republic and the United States. In case of the U.S., we confirmed the causality robustly. In case of the Czech Republic, we found the causality, but not a robust one. Generally, the causality is taken as evidence for macroeconomic models with shocks to consumers's expe...

Advancements in grid converter technology have been pivotal in the successful integration of renewable energy. The high penetration of renewable energy systems is calling for new more stringent grid requirements. As a consequence, the grid converters should be able to exhibit advanced functions like: dynamic control of active and reactive current injection during faults, and grid services support. This book explains the topologies, modulation...

Inlet air cooling of gas turbine is one of the most probable improvements in power station especially in Egypt. For example in north Cairo power station which has four gas turbines the rating output of one of them is 250 MW but at 45ºc atmospheric temperature the output is 230 MW and at 16ºc atmospheric temperature is 260 MW this different is enough for region as Aswan. The main effect of increasing atmospheric temperature is the decrease of i...
