Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordUsing Worldview-2 Satellite Imagery to Support Geoscience Studies on Phlegraean AreaPasquale Maglione, Claudio Parente, Andrea VallarioWorldView-2 satellite imagery includes half-meter panchromatic resolution and 2 m multispectral resolution. Because of the reduced dimensions of pixels and articulated spectral acquisition these images supply detailed information that can be used for geoscience applications, above all to investigate areas, identify land cover, bound vegetated zones, outline transformations (change detection). The aim of this study is to remark possibilities to … …Current Research in Geoscience, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 4 Sep 2013 · 7,939 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordStatic and Dynamic Location of Variable Impedance Devices for Stability StudiesN. Magaji, M. W. Mustafa, Ado Dan-Isa, A. U. LawanThis study used the concept of model controllability and observability in product form called residue factor to find the best location of Thyristor-Controlled based series and shunt devices called variable impedance devices. The success of this controller depends on its best possible location in busbar or line of power system network. The method is based on the relationship between the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 5 · 31 May 2013 · 6,625 accessesView PDFCite
