Comparative Assessment and Benchmarking of Metaheuristic Algorithms for Dynamic Photovoltaic Array Reconfiguration Under Diverse Shading Environments

open access: yesEnergy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The solar photovoltaic (PV) installations, which are essential for renewable energy systems, are vulnerable to partial shading, resulting in considerable power losses and operational inefficiencies. The dynamic reconfiguration of PV arrays has become an effective strategy to mitigate these effects by adaptively modifying the array topology to ...

The Revival of Teleology, After Its Death By Darwin [PDF]

open access: yesPizhūhish/hā-yi Falsafī- Kalāmī
Two distinct teleological perspectives emerge from the ancient Greek tradition. (1) Platonic teleology, which represents teleology as the result of intentional agency and is the origin of the idea of design; and (2) Aristotelian teleology, which ...

Darwin's pickles [PDF]

open access: yesCurrent Biology, 2002
AbstractLondon's Natural History Museum has one of the largest and oldest collections of specimens in the world but only a tiny fraction has been on show to the public, until now. The first phase of a new Darwin Centre aims to change all that. Nigel Williams reports.

Decadal Changes of UV Aerosol Optical Depth in Hobart, Australia Measured With a Brewer MKIII: Relationship to Bushfire Events and Climate Indices

open access: yesInternational Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
Monthly average aerosol optical depth at 320 nm obtained with a Brewer MKIII spectrophotometer for Hobart, Australia (42.8806° S, 147.3250° E) over a 21‐year period. There is a linear trend of 15.4% per decade. There are 9 months when the average aerosol optical depth exceeds twice the monthly standard deviation.

Maurice Renard et la science en récit au temps du Docteur Lerne et du Péril bleu

open access: yesReS Futurae, 2018
The epistemological debates are far from being serene in the 1900s. The traumatic impact of the sciences of the nature putting a starting point in the human story or the extrapolations inherent to the development of the astronomy, increasing the ...

Systemic Darwinism [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2008
Darwin's 19th century evolutionary theory of descent with modification through natural selection opened up a multidimensional and integrative conceptual space for biology. We explore three dimensions of this space: explanatory pattern, levels of selection, and degree of difference among units of the same type.

Computer Simulation of Musical Evolution: A Lesson from Whales [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Simulating musical creativity using computers needs more than the ability to devise elegant computational implementations of sophisticated algorithms. It requires, firstly, an understanding of what phenomena might be regarded as music; and, secondly, an ...
