Modeling the risk-based decisions of the microgrid in day-ahead energy and reserve markets considering stochastic dispatching of electrical and thermal energy storages by Bahramara, Salah

“…However, the proposed robust two-stage stochastic model leads to a smaller reduction of the MGO's first-stage decisions in the worst case in comparison with the conventional methods, i.e. deterministic and probabilistic ones. This issue proves the effectiveness of the proposed approach to protect the MGO's decisions against the uncertainties.…”

Kappa-Distributed Electrons in Solar Outflows: Beam-Plasma Instabilities and Radio Emissions by Lazar, M.

“…Electron beam waves are Landau resonant and with frequencies of the fastest growing modes close to but below the plasma frequency (i.e., ω≲ ωpe ). Suprathermal Kappa tails tend to inhibit the instability by reducing the growth rates, but these effects become minor if the drift speed of the beam is sufficiently high compared to the thermal speed of the electrons. …”

Effects of SARS-CoV-2 Alpha, Beta, and Delta variants, age, vaccination, and prior infection on infectiousness of SARS-CoV-2 infections by Qassim, Suelen H.

“…Children <10 years of age had 2.18 higher Ct cycles (95% CI: 1.88-2.48) than those 10-19 years of age. Compared to unvaccinated individuals, the Ct value was higher among individuals who had received one or two vaccine doses, but the Ct value decreased gradually with time since the second-dose vaccination. …”
