The paper presents an efficient modeling technique for the fluxset magnetic field sensor. Using separate numerical solutions for the electric and magnetic fields, an equivalent SPICE circuit is extracted in the postprocessing phase. The main contribution of the paper is the technique used to model the distributed capacitive effects in insulation between coils, by concentrating them in an “Extended II scheme”, an infinite circuit which is optimally reduced to a finite one. The results are in qualitative agreement with the experimental ones.

The numerical solution of electromagnetic field nonlinear problems requires successive building and solving of linear systems of equations. This is the most time–consuming part, especially for large problems. Both fast linear solvers and efficient nonlinear iterative algorithms, are critical for the overall efficiency of the nonlinear electromagnetic field solver. This paper presents an analysis of a variety of techniques that can be efficiently used to reduce the solution time of nonlinear magnetic field equations in large finite element method (FEM) problems.

This paper presents a hybrid algorithm used, in conjunction with the Finite Integration Technique (FIT), for solving static and quasistatic electromagnetic field problems in nonlinear media. The hybrid technique is based on new theoretical results regarding the similarities between the Picard‐Banach fixed‐point (polarization) method and the Newton method. At each iteration, the solution is obtained as a linear combination of the old solution, and the new Picard‐Banach and Newton solutions. The numerical solutions are calculated through a “triangle” (bidimensional) minimization of the residual or of the energy functional. The goal of this combination is to increase the robustness of the iterative method, without losing the quadratic speed of convergence in the vicinity of the solution. The proposed method generalizes and unifies in a single algorithm the overrelaxed Picard‐Banach and the underrelaxed Newton methods.

During the last three decades or so, the introduction of gender studies into higher education in Romania as a field of teaching and research has proved to be a very uneven and sometimes precarious process. The notion of gender has not been properly integrated into scholarly research, and women’s and gender studies have therefore been seen as an appendix to mainstream research in the humanities and the social sciences. This chapter aims at providing a meaningful picture of how gender studies have become part of the higher education system in Romania, what challenges have been met on the way and what future gender studies have in the education landscape. It also provides a comprehensive overview of the significance and importance of the TARGET project for the implementation of the first gender equality plan in the Romanian higher education system.
