Comparison of methods applied to measuring the lightning impulse breakdown voltage of insulating pressboard impregnated with mineral oil and natural ester

The aim of this paper is to compare three different methods of analysis of results of lightning impulse breakdown voltage measurements of solid materials such as insulating pressboard.These three methods are the series method, the step method and the up-and-down method which are applied to withstand voltage estimation commonly in high voltage engin

A Generic Software Architecture for Prognostics (GSAP)

Prognostics is a systems engineering discipline focused on predicting end-of-life of components and systems.As a relatively new and emerging technology, there are few fielded here implementations of prognostics, due in part to practitioners perceiving a large hurdle in developing the models, algorithms, architecture, and integration pieces.Similarl

Oral-Gut-Brain Axis in Experimental Models of Periodontitis: Associating Gut Dysbiosis With Neurodegenerative Diseases

Periodontitis is considered a non-communicable chronic disease caused by a dysbiotic microbiota, which generates a low-grade systemic inflammation that chronically damages the organism.Several studies have associated periodontitis with other chronic non-communicable diseases, such as cardiovascular or neurodegenerative diseases.Besides, the oral ba
