The article presents a study on low-power voltage transformers (LPVTs). Considering their increasing spread among Smart Grids, it is fundamental to assess their accuracy behavior in as realistic conditions as possible. Therefore, this article presents a detailed calibration procedure to test LPVTs’ accuracy when various external influence quantities are simultaneously acting on them. In the calibration procedure, the considered quantities are frequency, air temperature, and external electric field. Afterwards, the designed procedure is applied on three different off-the-shelf LPVTs using a measurement setup developed in a laboratory environment. The presented results (i) confirm the easy applicability of the designed calibration procedure; (ii) highlight the various effects of the influence quantities on the accuracy of different types of LPVTs; (iii) confirm the need to include more realistic tests, like the type-tests presented, into the standards to appreciate a wider set of possible in-field behaviors.

The multiaffine analysis is used to study the internal structures of the transmittance in three different cases: a homogeneous random chain in the mesoscopic regime, an inhomogeneous random chain and a random chain in the presence of an external electric field. We find large fluctuations of transmittance in all three different types of systems and these obey anisotropic multiaffine scaling. This method provides a unified description of transmittance fluctuations in very different systems.

Abstract A matrix calibration procedure has been developed that uniquely relates the electric fields measured at the aircraft with the external vector electric field and net aircraft charge. The calibration method can be generalized to any reasonable combination of electric field measurements and aircraft. A calibration matrix is determined for each aircraft that represents the individual instrument responses to the external electric field. The aircraft geometry and configuration of field mills (FMs) uniquely define the matrix. The matrix can then be inverted to determine the external electric field and net aircraft charge from the FM outputs. A distinct advantage of the method is that if one or more FMs need to be eliminated or deemphasized (e.g., due to a malfunction), it is a simple matter to reinvert the matrix without the malfunctioning FMs. To demonstrate the calibration technique, data are presented from several aircraft programs (ER-2, DC-8, Altus, and Citation).

Background: Boron Nitride Nanotubes (BNNTs) have recently emerged as an interesting field of study, because they could be used for the realization of developed, integrated and compact nanostructures to be formulated. BNNTs with similar surface morphology, alternating B and N atoms completely substitute for C atoms in a graphitic-like sheet with nearly no alterations in atomic spacing, with uniformity in dispersion in the solution, and readily applicable in biomedical applications with no obvious toxicity. Also demonstrating a good cell interaction and cell targeting. Aim and Objective: With a purpose of increasing the field of BNNT for drug delivery, a theoretical investigation of the interaction of Melatonin, Vitamin C, Glutathione and lipoic acid antioxidants using (9, 0) zigzag BNNTs is shown using density functional theory. Methods: The geometries corresponding to Melatonin, Vitamin C, Glutathione and lipoic acid and BNNT with different lengths were individually optimized with the DMOL3 program at the LDA/ DNP (fine) level of theory. Results: In the presence of external electric field Melatonin, Vitamin C, Glutathione and lipoic acid could be absorbed considerably on BNNT with lengths 22 and 29 Å, as the adsorption energy values in the presence of external electric field are considerably increased. Conclusion: The external electric field is an appropriate technique for adsorbing and storing antioxidants on BNNTs. Moreover, it is believed that applying the external electric field may be a proper method for controlling release rate of drugs.
