Stress Detection System Using Internet of Things
Abstract: A change in electrical potential is caused by the confluence of hundreds of brain neurons, which is reflected by a brainwave. When a neuron has accumulated enough energy, it receives messages from nearby neurons and begins a cyclic discharge process. People also emit brainwaves on a regular basis for this reason. According to researchers at Michigan University's Laboratory of Brain Recognition and Behavior, long-term multitasking reduces productivity, and filtering out …

The Transient Performance of Power Line Towers
Abstract: This paper presents a refined approach to the transient analysis of power line towers. Each section of the tower’s steel structure is accurately modeled as a non-uniform transmission line. Among other features, an efficient representation of the towers’ cross-arms as open-ended non-uniform lines and their subsequent approximation by lumped capacitors will be explored. Furthermore, the error introduced by neglecting the presence of the cross-arms, as well as the effect of …
