Abstract Three studies examined the effort and performance of rock climbers in context processing efficiency theory. Anxiety was manipulated by different means three studies. In each study, due only to physical exertion climbing controlled for. Anxiety, effort, were measured via self-report, an integrated heart rate measure, belayer observation. Consistent with theory, results showed that higher levels anxiety usually associated commensurately performance. However, also suggested cognitive...

ABSTRACT We challenge the notion of steady‐state equilibrium in context progressive cliff retreat on micro‐tidal coasts. Ocean waves break at or close to abrupt seaward edge near‐horizontal shore platforms and then rapidly lose height due turbulence friction. Conceptual models assume that wave decays exponentially with distance from platform edge, does not erode under stable sea‐level. These assumptions combine a view Holocene retreat. argue this model is generally applicable. Recent data...

The percentage of generation provided by wind power sites is ever-increasing, bringing with it additional challenges and benefits. An increasing number in Great Britain are subject to export limitation schemes (ELS) that ensure does not exceed the rated capacities distribution network infrastructure. This leads reduced resulting loss revenue increased costs. exclusively performed on a site-by-site basis, contrast large-scale curtailment meet national limits. paper presents for first time...

Recent evidence suggests that adult patients with IgA tissue transglutaminase levels of ≥10× the upper limit normal could be accurately diagnosed coeliac disease without undergoing endoscopy and biopsy. We aimed to evaluate cost-benefits environmental impact implementing no-biopsy approach for diagnosing in clinical practice. calculated overall direct indirect costs conventional serology-biopsy diagnosis based on national average unit Office National Statistics data. further estimated...

Due to the intermittent nature of power generation within a wind farm, often either exceeds or does not meet export limits site. Excess generated above limit is considered as breach and can cause fines from local grid operator. The excess energy be exploited supplement periods low generation, smoothing output farm providing larger total their resilience high cycle rates, flywheels are ideally suited act an store in this scenario.

Frequency response services are one of the key components used by major electrical networks worldwide, acting to help control frequency within set boundaries. Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESSs) commonly deployed for this purpose; however, their potential is limited susceptibility cycle-based degradation and widely reported safety incidents. Flywheel (FESSs) do not share these weaknesses hence could be a candidate longer-term participation in markets. This study presents most in-depth...
