Optimum sizing of steam turbines for concentrated solar power plants by Poullikkas, Andreas

“…Thus, there is significant efficiency gains to be realized and large cost savings in increasing the turbine size up to 50MWe. Finally, although the cost of electricity of a CSP plant with capacities greater than 1MWe is significantly reduced to less than 1US$/kWh, currently such technology can only become economically viable through supporting schemes.…”

Photocatalytic UV degradation of 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzofuran in the presence of silver zeolite by Samara, Fatin

“…The toxicity of the intermediate and resultant products was further analyzed with the aid of an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The optical density showed that in contrast to all the samples, the TCDF irradiated with 254 nm in the presence of AgY2 was high at 40 min inferring a decrease in toxicity of the resultant product. …”

Age–sex differences in the global burden of lower respiratory infections and risk factors, 1990–2019: results from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2019 by Hmwe Hmwe Kyu (8674014)

“…Age-standardised incidence and mortality rates were 1·17 times (95% UI 1·16–1·18) and 1·31 times (95% UI 1·23–1·41) greater in males than in females in 2019. Between 1990 and 2019, LRI incidence and mortality rates declined at different rates across age groups and an increase in LRI episodes and deaths was estimated among all adult age groups, with males aged 70 years and older having the highest increase in LRI episodes (126·0% [95% UI 121·4–131·1]) and deaths (100·0% [83·4–115·9]). …”
