Due to advantages such as high energy density, high power density, rapid charge and discharge, high cyclic-life, and environmentally friendly, flywheel energy storage systems (FESs) are widely used in various fields. However, the performance of FES systems depends on the performance of a high...

This paper investigated a 12-slot/11-pole flux switching permanent magnet (FSPM) machine used for electric vehicles (EVs). Five novel rotor teeth shapes are proposed and researched to reduce the cogging torque and torque ripple of the FSPM machine. These rotor teeth shapes are notched teeth,...

Droplet evaporation coupled with gravity and surface tension on a wall with the radial temperature gradients is numerically studied based on Arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian method. The influence of wall temperature distribution, droplet temperature coefficient of surface tension and the viscosity...

This thesis first considers some extensions of the existing discrete choice models. One such extension is to use the scale mixture of multivariate normal distributions for the random part of the utility in a random utility maximization framework. By doing so, we expand the horizon of discrete...

The main goal of this was to examine the impact of the SNAP program on the allocation of food and nonfood spending expenditures across six subgroups: food, utilities, apparel, transportation, medical care, and other nonfood spending. The empirical analysis is conducted using a consumer demand...

This study extends the early empirical evidence of sentiment risk spillovers on firms within the same category (Barberis, Shleifer and Wurgler, 2005) and across the overlapping category (Ambrose et al., 2007) to other firms in a non-overlapping but correlated category. Using the first six REITs'...
