The European Union (EU) imposed sanctions on Zimbabwe in 2002 and this article aims at evaluating the success of that decision.Applying a broader definition of success, this article assumes that sanctions can coerce, constrain and signal.Contrary to most of the literature holding that sanctions are imposed to change the behaviour of targets, this a
In the recent years, several short-term forecasting models of household electricity demand have been proposed in the literature.This is partly due to emerging smart-grid applications, which require these kinds of forecasts to manage systems such as smart homes, prosumer aggregations, etc., and partly thanks to the availability of data from smart me
This paper investigates the behavior of SiC MOSFETs body diode reverse recovery as a function of different operating conditions.The knowledge of their effects is crucial to properly designing and driving power converters based on SiC devices, in order to optimize the MOSFETs commutations aiming at improving efficiency.Indeed, reverse recovery is a
In a gradually more interlinked world, the formation of collaborations with partners is increasingly regarded as an important driver for generating innovation.Although multidimensional proximities are important factors influencing interorganizational coinnovation performance, electric swingarm lenses relevant empirical studies have not reached cons
