Photovoltaic System For Supplying Public Lighting As Peak Demand Shaving
Eletrônica de Potência, 2007 This paper describes the design and implementation of a grid connected photovoltaic system aimed to supply energy to the public lighting during the time of high peak demand of the grid. The system is made of two main parts: the solar energy storage unit

What's Wrong With Self‐Censorship?
Philosophy &Public Affairs, EarlyView.ABSTRACT In recent years, discourse on freedom of speech has shifted away from exclusive focus on the state and towards societal threats to speech. Amidst this change, the notion of “self‐censorship” has gained increased prominence. Not only has self‐censorship emerged as a common reference point, several recent studies identify it as embodying a ...

Continuous surface wave and impact methods of measuring the stiffness and density of railway ballast
, 2002 Continuous surface wave and transient impact excitation tests were performed on strips of ballast to monitor their compaction. The ballast's shear wave velocity, hence the ratio of its shear modulus and density, increased with depth.

The downward legacy of a phytoplankton bloom in the oligotrophic North Pacific Subtropical Gyre
Limnology and Oceanography, Volume 71, Issue 10, October 2026.Abstract Ocean particles are a heterogeneous collection, including living and dead cells, feces, mucus‐rich aggregates, and mineral shells and frustules. In the well‐lit upper ocean, phototrophic processes fuel production of particulate matter; however, only a relatively small percentage (< 10% per day) of this material (mostly detrital) escapes the ...

Exploration of Alkaliphilic Bacteria Alkalitalea saponilacus Identifies Glycoside Hydrolases With Biotechnological Potential. [PDF]
Microb BiotechnolSoda lakes represent an excellent resource in the search for microbes adapted to alkaline and hypersaline conditions. In this study we demonstrate the ability of Alkalitalea saponilacus to degrade multiple carbon sources representing a promising bacterium for biotechnological applications where performance under alkaline or strongly ionic conditions is

Community Awareness and Evidence of Dugong (Dugong dugon) Presence in Anjouan, Comoros
Marine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 4, October 2026.ABSTRACT The dugong (Dugong dugon), listed as Vulnerable globally, is poorly documented in the Western Indian Ocean, including the Comoros. We combined Local Ecological Knowledge (LEK) and Passive Acoustic Monitoring (PAM) to assess occurrence and reported encounters around the island of Anjouan.

Where is mineral ballast important for surface export of particulate organic carbon in the ocean? [PDF]
, 2014 Correlations between particulate organic carbon (POC) and mineral fluxes in the deep ocean have inspired the inclusion of ‘ballast effect’ parameterizations in carbon cycle models. A recent study demonstrated regional variability in the effect of ballast
