for power systems. Nonlinearloads, such as the power supplies for electronic devices, introduce harmonic currents into the power system,which can cause failures in power system equipment as well as in other loads. Evidence of harmonic problemsinclude circuit breakers tripping when they shouldn’t or failing to trip when they should, overheated neutralconductors or transformers, erratic operation or tripping of adjustable speed drives, blown power factorcorrection capacitors, and communication interference. The problems are different, but their causes are related. Since every user of the power system contributes to the problem, I believe all electrical engineers andtechnicians need to have a basic understanding of power quality issues

LE data, typically gathered through self-reports, provides insightsinto students’ perceptions and emotions within educational settings [10]. However, the subjectivenature of self-reported data and its temporal variability introduce challenges in accuratelycapturing engagement dynamics, necessitating advanced NLP and time-series forecastingtechniques [6].

The problem encountered when working with speechrecognition projects is the fact that the processed data comes in the form of a large collection ofvectors (e.g., matrix) that typically represent energies of a speech sounds at various frequencybands [1].
