Most of the proposed methods for investigating the transient and short-term voltage (STV) stability have assumed that only one of the two phenomena exists, i.e. either transient instability or STV instability. While these two phenomena exist simultaneously with one of them being dominant, according to the operating point of the system and disturbance condition. A unified online prediction method is presented in this paper to distinguish between the stable and unstable conditions. In the proposed method, by employing the intelligent wide area measurement system (IWAMS), the frequency deviation and the active power imbalance are calculated by the generation buses, which are considered as the intelligent generation buses (IGB). By tracking the trajectories of the frequency deviation and the active power imbalance and checking some simple defined rules, early prediction of both transient and STV instability can be achieved. In order to evaluate the performance of the proposed algorithm, the method has been tested on single machine infinite bus (SMIB) system, single machine load bus (SMLB) system, IEEE 39-bus system and IEEE 118-bus system. According to the obtained results, the proposed algorithm has the overall accuracy of 99.5% under symmetrical and asymmetrical faults, PMU measurement error, different operating points and topological changes.

As social networks grow, they become more and more complex, and analyzing them becomes complicated. One way to reduce this complexity is to divide the network into subnets, which are also called communities. Dividing social networks into desirable communities can help analysts and experts to understand the behavior and function of the networks. Community detection in networks is a challenging topic in network science and various methods have been proposed for that. Modularity maximization is one of the state-of-the-art methods suggested for community detection. Modularity maximization is an NP-hard problem meaning that no polynomial-time algorithm exists that could solve the problem optimally unless P=NP. A group of approaches that could solve such problems is approximate algorithms. Identifying the influential nodes has many important applications in social networks. This technique could also be used in community detection. To maximize modularity, in this paper, we propose approximate algorithms based on identifying the influential nodes and their influence domain. We used the concept of scale-free networks to prove the approximate factor. Experiments on real-world networks show that the proposed algorithm can compete with the state-of-the-art methods of community detection algorithms. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Information technology developed the "Block chain": a computerized storage system distributed in a dis-centralized way to register facts, transactions and addresses. Each transaction is sent to a user. This system allowed the appearance of a "crypto currency", an electronic currency far from the official monetary institutions 'control. The spread and circulation of this currency between individuals through the network far from any governmental control services presented a real challenge to the monetary law systems and to the criminal protection of the public funds. Here we will face a big challenge when trying to regulate all crimes resulting from the use of Blockchain technology, this technology has a high ability to prove and authenticate, but at the same time, it has a high ability to maintain privacy, and achieve complete confidentiality of transactions.
