COVID-19 non-pharmaceutical interventions (NPIs) are changing human mobility patterns; however, the effects on power systems remain unclear.Previous loads and timings along with weather features are often used in literature as input features in load forecasting, but these may be insufficient during COVID-19.As a result, this paper proposes an analy
Techno-economic sensitivity analysis for combined design and operation of a small modular reactor hybrid energy system
With increasing grid-penetration of renewable energy resources and a rising need for carbon-free dispatchable power generation, nuclear-hybrid energy systems (NHES), consisting of small modular reactors, are an increasingly attractive option for maintaining grid stability.NHES can accomplish this with a minimal carbon footprint but there are signif
Quality Of Electrophotographic Prints On Foil Substrates
Electrophotographic printing uses many types of substrates, our study focuses on plastic substrates.Six types ofregular and self-adhesive foil substrates were chosen to be printed using two electrophotographic presses: XeroxColour 1000 Press and Corn Flour Canon imagePress C7000VP.A test chart containing tone value scales and a set of samplesfor pr
The Neuromuscular Disorder Mediated by Extracellular Vesicles in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) represents a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by the progressive loss of both upper and lower motor neurons, resulting in muscular atrophy and eventual paralysis.While much research has concentrated on investigating the impact of major mutations associated with ALS on motor neurons and central nervous #St
Development of a 3D, networked multi-user virtual reality environment for home therapy after stroke
Abstract Background Impairment of upper extremity function is a common outcome following stroke, to the detriment of lifestyle and employment opportunities.Yet, access to treatment may be limited due to geographical and transportation constraints, especially for those living in rural areas.While stroke rates are higher in these areas, stroke surviv
