Voltage quality (VQ) analyzers are permanently installed in some 110kV substations in the Czech Republic. Selected VQ parameters are evaluated according to the EN 50160 standard when recorded data available from several years are analyzed.
The best known analyses to date of nuclear proliferation networks are qualitative analyses of networks consisting of just hundreds of nodes and edges. We propose SPINN — a computational framework that performs the following tasks. Starting from existing lists of sanctioned entities, SPINN automatically builds a highly augmented network by scraping connections between individuals, companies, and government...
