TL;DR: In this article, the authors developed a regional flood frequency procedure based on canonical correlation analysis (CCA) and its application to data from a northern Canadian basin in which floods are dominated by spring snowmelt.
Abstract: It is often necessary to estimate extreme events at sites where little or no hydrometric data are available. In such cases, one may use a regional estimation procedure, utilizing data available from other stations in the same hydrologic region. In general, a regional flood frequency procedure consists of two steps, delineation of hydrologically homogeneous regions and regional estimation. This paper focuses on the development of a regional flood frequency procedure based on canonical correlation analysis (CCA) and its application to data from a northern Canadian basin in which floods are dominated by spring snowmelt. This CCA-based procedure allows the joint regional estimation of spring flood peaks and volumes. The CCA method allows the determination of pairs of canonical variables such that the correlation between the canonical variables of one pair is maximized and between the variables of different pairs is equal to zero. Therefore, it is possible to infer hydrological canonical variables, knowing the physiographical-meteorological canonical variables. The methodology developed was applied to the St. Maurice River basin system, which is operated by Hydro-Quebec and characterized by the relatively low precision of flow data available. Results show that the proposed method allows for a significant reduction in the 100-year spring flood and volume quantile estimation bias and mean square error. The study also shows that, in 60% of cases, the method that was previously used overestimates quantile values, which leads to an overdesign of retention structures.

TL;DR: In this article, the temperature rise in power transformers subjected to a DC source of excitation was measured on core-form single-phase 735 kV autotransformers rated 370 MVA and 550 MVA.
Abstract: The temperature rise in power transformers subjected to a DC source of excitation was measured on core-form single-phase 735 kV autotransformers rated 370 MVA and 550 MVA. The measurements were compared to the temperature rise values obtained on the same transformers operating in overexcitation at 1.95 T. The results show that the tie plates of this particular type of transformer are the components most susceptible to rapid temperature rise. Smaller-scale tests on 100 kVA transformers were performed to take a specific look at these tie plates under the effect of a temperature increase. Finite-element simulations combined with analytical studies of temperature rise were performed in an attempt to determine a tolerable DC current limit based on permissible temperature standards.

TL;DR: In this article, room temperature, high energy ball milling was applied to various transition aluminas (γ, K, χ), producing thermodynamically stable α-alumina.
Abstract: Room temperature, high energy ball milling was applied to various transition aluminas (γ, K, χ), producing thermodynamically stable α-alumina–a phenomenon that could otherwise be achieved only by high temperature (1100–1200 °C) heat treatment. The transformation proceeds in two steps. The first one consists of rapid microstructural rearrangements with continuously increasing α-transformation rate. In the second step (1–2 h from the start), only relatively small changes in morphology are observed with a constant α-transformation rate. The rate is influenced only by the milling intensity. The presence or the absence of oxygen in the milling atmosphere has a large influence on the final surface area of α-alumina.
