Military bases, communities, and university-scale microgrids are being implemented to serve critical loads of high priority. Remote switch scheduling distributed energy resources (DERs) operation strategies for post-disaster service restoration have been explored in previous literature. Flexible buildings offer the central microgrid management system an opportunity ensure available is directed loads. This work presents a novel bi-level optimal sequence operations managing controllable...
Obesity is a complex disease of global epidemic proportions. Adipose tissue expansion and chronic low-grade inflammation, locally systemically, are hallmark features obesity. associated with several other diseases, which also characterized by inflammation. Determination adipocyte size macrophage content in adipose critical step assessing changes this Here, we introduce complete standalone software package, AdipoGauge, to analyse microscopic images derived from haematoxylin eosin...
ABSTRACT South Asia is one of the most populous regions world. At present, Asians make up more than 25% world’s population but little effort has been dedicated to studying trends and etiological factors driving aging aging-related conditions in this part Even less characterization done on brain-related conditions, particularly all-cause dementia Asia. To address this, we examined data from US Census Bureau, World Health Organization Global Dementia Observatory Burden Disease (GBD) 2019...
During emergencies or natural disasters, at remote areas, the main electrical grid might be damaged not accessible, therefore, a sustainable electricity generation is critical for human survivals other needs. This paper presents sustainable, portable, and efficient delivery (SPEED) system community emergency, disaster relief, power supply areas. A demonstrated with utility-level AC output built up 180 W photovoltaics (PV) array which consists of six serial-connected solar panels, 1.8 kWh...
In this paper, a sustainable, portable, and efficient electricity delivery (SPEED) system is designed built for community emergency/disaster relief with sustainable power solutions. The consists of 180W PV array six serial-connected solar panels, 1.8kWh battery system, SYNDEM converter, human-machine interface. Advanced electronics control technologies are implemented to guarantee the autonomous operation SPEED at either islanded mode or grid-tied cope scenarios. Field testing conducted...
PURPOSE Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in the United States (US) worldwide. Previous studies have identified several behavioral biological risk factors CRC, including lack physical activity, smoking, alcohol use, poor dietary patterns, obesity type 2 diabetes. Emerging factors, e.g., air pollution pesticide exposure may also exacerbate colorectal risk. Furthermore, rural populations show poorer CRC outcomes compared to urban ones within US. METHODS In...
<title>Abstract</title> Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in the US. Previous studies have identified several behavioral, biological environmental risk factors CRC. Within US, there are geographical regions with poorer CRC outcomes compared to others - indicating possible variations factor occurrence. To quantitatively assess this, we examined US county-level data from Surveillance, Epidemiology End Results (SEER) program prevalence Behavioral Risk Factor...
Community-scale microgrids play an essential role in serving critical loads during emergency conditions, involving the operation of breakers, tie-switches, distributed energy resources (DERs), and loads. Electric are primarily considered as lumped without many granular levels controls. Flexible buildings offer central microgrid management system opportunity to shed multiple noncritical at by adopting Internet-of- Things (IoT) based This work presents a novel bi-level optimal sequence...
In this paper, a finite-time formation control protocol for double-integrator multi-agent system is studied via heterogeneous communication typologies. detail, the topology to share position information and velocity can be different when controlling agents achieve desired formation. Based on Lyapunov method LaSalle invariance principle, proposed achieves with typologies both fixed-topology switching cases. Different combinations of vary performance system, such as convergence, or cost....
