Several stress meters have been proposed over the years, however still a reduced number of variables were considered mainly the skin conductivity and/or heart rate. Additional variables can be considered such as respiratory rate can be relevant to the estimation of stress level. In this paper, a prototype to measure and predict the stress levels is presented together preliminary experimental values. Moreover, a mobile application was also developed for users' stress assessment.","PeriodicalId":359645,"journal":{"name":"2021 12th International Symposium on Advanced Topics in Electrical Engineering (ATEE)","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-03-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134362697","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Currently, a major issue for society in the field of environmental protection is the sustainable management of waste. This has been debated at EU level, leading to the issue of several directives for regulating, monitoring, controlling, and mitigating the impact of pollution. After joining the EU, Romania had to make serious efforts for implementing waste management by adopting European directives or transposing them into national law. As a result, private or state-owned companies involved in selling various categories of products must pay attention to waste collecting and meeting specific recycling quotas. Unfortunately, in Romania there is no software application that offers all the facilities needed by those companies. This paper presents an open system application dedicated to waste management.","PeriodicalId":359645,"journal":{"name":"2021 12th International Symposium on Advanced Topics in Electrical Engineering (ATEE)","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-03-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133649607","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These low-voltage devices that usually exhibit an E+I iron-core shape geometry, are to be commonly found in actual electric and electronic installations. Their operation under no- or light load conditions in circuits that also include capacitive elements, favors the ferroresonance occurrence, which is usually initiated by a switching process. Thus, adopting a suitable magnetization description of the laminated transformer core, a time domain analysis is conducted by numerically solving the nonlinear and nonautonomous differential equations system that models the transients. Hence, the transformer current and voltage time variations are predicted and critically examined by modern investigation tools, specific to nonlinear dynamic systems such a ferroresonant circuit – harmonic analyses, 3D phase portrait and Poincaré map representations.","PeriodicalId":359645,"journal":{"name":"2021 12th International Symposium on Advanced Topics in Electrical Engineering (ATEE)","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-03-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133534626","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Specific recommendations on the rational choice of current-limiting can be given on the basis of their comparative analysis, classification, determination of advantages, etc. It has been found that the use of traditional current-limiting devices (high-speed fuses, circuit breakers) for the designed and newly developed low voltage energy-saving electricity transport systems does not provide a limitation of short-circuit currents to the required level. It is necessary to overestimate the nominal parameters of the elements of power supply systems to increase their resistance to short-circuit currents. This is due to the forced increase in the metal consumption of networks, the use of complicated designs of electrical devices, and an increase in the investment component in electric networks. Intensification of work towards the development of new current-limiting devices, obtaining practical results will clarify the scope of each of the current-limiting devices in power supply systems.","PeriodicalId":359645,"journal":{"name":"2021 12th International Symposium on Advanced Topics in Electrical Engineering (ATEE)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-03-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116565311","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The results are validated against the literature. The numerical simulations are carried out for both steady state (time independent) and unsteady state (time dependent) flow regimes using the FreeFEM++ software. In the unsteady regime, the flow becomes unsteady when it reached a critical Reynolds number of $sim 46.5$ and a vortex shedding develops downstream the cylinder. The results of linear global stability analysis for both steady and mean flows are presented. The eigenvalues obtained from the linear stability analysis were compared to the data available in literature. The linear stability analysis of the steady flow correctly predicted the growth rate of the instabilities, but it failed to predict the frequency. The linear stability analysis of the mean flow correctly predicted the frequency of the instabilities, but it underestimated the growth rates. At last, the sensitivity maps of the wavemaker were computed to determine the zone which is more receptive to a modification of the base flow to control the onset of the instability.","PeriodicalId":359645,"journal":{"name":"2021 12th International Symposium on Advanced Topics in Electrical Engineering (ATEE)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-03-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125215600","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
