Geomorphological changes in the coastal area of Farasan Al-Kabir Island (Saudi Arabia) since mid Holocene based on a multi-proxy approach by Pavlopoulos, Kosmas

“…The mid Holocene evolution of the borehole area is resulted from the detailed analysis of five sedimentary units detected along the core Matar-1, and includes three distinct stages: (a) from 5253 ± 223 y cal BP to 3138 ± 223 y cal BP, carbonate coarse-grained material consisting of coral fragments, molluscs, calcareous algae and benthic foraminifera are deposited on a shallow marine fringing reefal platform, which becomes progressively a nearshore backreef (around 3675 ± 215 y cal BP), and later (around 3138 ± 223 y cal BP) a reef ramp; (b) since 3040 ± 220 y cal BP the borehole area obtains the characteristics of a high-energy beach that receives increasing inputs of terrigenous material; (c) subsequently, a supratidal backshore setting is established influenced mostly by terrestrial processes and occasionally by marine processes, as it is indicated by the decreasing and sometimes sporadic presence of benthic foraminifera, and recently, a sedimentary veneer consisting of terrigenous, carbonate and evaporite material is formed by terrestrial, mainly wadi and aeolian, processes. © 2018 Elsevier Ltd and INQUA…”

Dispatchable capacity optimization strategy for battery swapping and charging station aggregators to participate in grid operations by Mingze, Zhang

“…Also, the aggregator does not worsen the original power load while meeting the EV swapping demand and can decrease the daily load fluctuations by 0.65% and 12.89%, reduce the peak–valley difference by 5.81% and 7.80%, and increase the load rate by 3.67% and 4.08% in working and non-working day situations through providing the dynamic dispatchable capacity for the grid.…”

Design and analysis of PV fed high-voltage gain DC-DC converter using PI and NN controllers by Madisa V.G., Varaprasad

“…When the converter switch comes under active state two capacitors are discharged in series, similarly when the converter switch under inactive state those two capacitors are charged in parallel through the coupled inductor (CI) energy so, to get a high voltage at the converter output side. To reuse the leakage-inductor (LI) energy of the CI with the help of a passive clamp circuit for reducing the voltage stress across the switch, similarly switch has less resistance so conduction losses also decreased. …”
