Energy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.Approximately 64% of the population in sub‐Saharan Africa lacks access to electricity, despite the region's high solar potential, making concentrated solar power a promising solution for decentralized and sustainable energy supply. This study presents the design, construction, and testing of a parabolic solar concentrator with two focal‐point receivers

Graph presentations for moments of noncentral Wishart distributions and their applications
, 2010 We provide formulas for the moments of the real and complex noncentral Wishart distributions of general degrees. The obtained formulas for the real and complex cases are described in terms of the undirected and directed graphs, respectively.

Moderate Deviation Principles for Lacunary Trigonometric Sums
Mathematische Nachrichten, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Classical works of Kac, Salem, and Zygmund, and Erdős and Gál have shown that lacunary trigonometric sums despite their dependency structure behave in various ways like sums of independent and identically distributed random variables. For instance, they satisfy a central limit theorem (CLT) and a law of the iterated logarithm.

Combinatorial identities related to degenerate Stirling numbers of the second kind
The study of degenerate versions of certain special polynomials and numbers, which was initiated by Carlitz's work on degenerate Euler and degenerate Bernoulli polynomials, has recently seen renewed interest among mathematicians. The aim of this paper is to study some properties, certain identities, recurrence relations and explicit expressions for ...

People and Nature, EarlyView.Abstract Conservation performance payments are becoming an increasingly popular instrument to tackle human–wildlife conflicts. In Sweden, Sámi communities practicing reindeer husbandry receive performance payments as compensation for reindeer losses caused by lynxes and wolverines.
