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

“…The results indicate that the estimated efficiency and the expected specific capital cost of the power block are very important criteria in choosing the best steam turbine size of a CSP plant. For capacity sizes of 10kWe up to 50MWe, the steam turbine efficiency increases and the steam turbine expected specific capital cost of the power block decreases at a high rate, whereas for larger sizes they remain almost constant. …”

Renewable Energy Consumption and Carbon Emissions: Evidence from an Oil-Rich Economy by Shahriyar Mukhtarov (19325662)

“…According to the findings, a 1% increase in renewable energy consumption leads to a 0.26% decrease in consumption-based CO₂ emissions, while a 1% rise in real GDP per capita leads to a 0.46% rise in consumption-based CO₂ emissions. …”

Simultaneous EEG-fMRI: Evaluating the Effect of the EEG Cap-Cabling Configuration on the Gradient Artifact by Muhammad E. H. Chowdhury (14150526)

“…Average artifact subtraction (AAS), the most commonly used method for GA correction, relies on the EEG amplifier having a large enough dynamic range to characterize the artifact voltages. …”
