For decades, the oil and gas industry has attempted to influence the American political system and downplay the severity of climate change. Corporations in the industry have donated massive sums of money to politicians, especially presidential candidates. This analysis explored the impact of those donations and whether there is a correlation between donations from the oil and gas industry and incr
Group exhibition. Theme :The Strength of SleepCohabitations of the LivingThe Quebec City Biennial will draw its inspiration from the Canadian winter and the sleeping earth to focus on human sleep and the multiple nuances of the process of waking. Both sleep and the cold season are times of latency, transition, and pause, of suspended productivity, and of resistance against the exploitation of bodi
This paper is concerned with the feasibility of the power flow in DC power grids with constant power loads. We introduce the notion of distance to infeasibility as a voltage stability index and robustness measure for power flow feasibility. In particular, we study the p-norm distance to infeasibility in the domain of the constant power loads, and show how this distance may be expressed as a mathem
New results on continuous time nonlinear consensus under varying topology are presented. The results are proved utilizing non Lyapunov based methods, i.e., the Hilbert metric, showing the possibility of further investigation of Hilbert metric for consensus and synchronization problems.
Integration of high-quality oxides on III-V materials allows for versatile design of electronic devices, suitable for RF and power applications. We here present an overview of our results of planar and non-planar III-V MOSFETs for RF electronics, highlighting possibilities and challenges.
In this paper we provide an analytical solution to an H2 optimal control problem, that applies whenever the process corresponds to a uniformly damped network of masses and springs. The solution covers both stable and unstable systems, and illustrates analytically how damping affects the levels of achievable performance. Furthermore, the resulting optimal controllers can be synthesised using passiv
This work demonstrates the utility of dual-arm robots with dual-wrist force-torque sensors in manipulating a Deformable Linear Object (DLO) within an unknown environment that imposes constraints on the DLO’s movement through contacts and fixtures. We propose a strategy to estimate the pose of unknown environmental contacts encountered during the manipulation of a DLO, classifying the induced const
