Impact factor

Institutional performance that “displays the full list of indicators and shows how each is correlated with this summary index.” He defends this choice by saying that “combining these diverse indicators into a single index reduces the idiosyncratic impact of any single measure… our composite measure is both comprehensive and internally consistent.” (74) With that being said, there is a validity issue with the indicators in Making Democracy Work. Validity means that the measurement is indeed…

Mesozoic-Cenozoic period. 65 million years ago a meteorite roughly 10 km across hit the earth’s surface, and the impact would be a catalyst to the extinction of 75% of the species living on earth at the time, including the dinosaurs. The impact of the meteorite would have instantly killed any organisms within proximity. But a majority of destruction happened after the impact. The impact blew enough dust, and debris into the atmosphere…

need to provide higher reactive power, thus operating with a lower power factor (pf) [9], [11]- [17]. For example, in [9], the power factor of IPMSMs at 0.2 modulation index is shown to be 0.52. The power factor of SynRMs also varies between 0.3-0.7 based on designed saliency [17]. Hence, the three-level inverters for these applications need to be controlled appropriately at lower modulation indices and lower power factors for optimum…
