Treatment planning with a 2.5 MV photon beam for radiation therapy
Abstract Purpose The shallow depth of maximum dose and higher dose fall‐off gradient of a 2.5 MV beam along the central axis that is available for imaging on linear accelerators is investigated for treatment of shallow tumors and sparing the organs at risk (OARs) beyond it.

Energy Consumption of Bitcoin Mining
After its introduction in 2008, increasing Bitcoin prices and booming number of other cryptocurrencies lead a growing discussion of how much energy is consumed during the production of these currencies. Being the most expensive and the most popular cryptocurrency, both the business world and the research community have started to question the energy ...

Data-Driven Probabilistic Energy Consumption Estimation for Battery Electric Vehicles with Model Uncertainty [PDF]
This paper presents a novel probabilistic data-driven approach to trip-level energy consumption estimation of battery electric vehicles (BEVs). As there are very few electric vehicle (EV) charging stations, EV trip energy consumption estimation can make EV routing and charging planning easier for drivers.

Knowledge of energy consumption [PDF]
Knowledge of energy consumption by various appliances was assessed. A paired-comparison scale of relative subjective energy consumption was established for the different appliances, and the resulting scale values were correlated with actual energy consumption by the same appliances.

Prediction of Energy Consumption for Variable Customer Portfolios Including Aleatoric Uncertainty Estimation [PDF]
Using hourly energy consumption data recorded by smart meters, retailers can estimate the day-ahead energy consumption of their customer portfolio. Deep neural networks are especially suited for this task as a huge amount of historical consumption data is available from smart meter recordings to be used for model training.

Simulation of Energy Consumption in Multi Cluster Wireless Sensor Networks [PDF]
Energy conserving protocols in wireless sensor networks (WSNs), such as S-MAC, introduce multi-cluster network. The border nodes in multi cluster WSNs have more active time than the other nodes in the network; hence have more energy depletion rate. Since

Taurine promotes glucagon‐like peptide‐1 secretion in enteroendocrine L cells
Taurine, a sulfur‐containing amino acid, is likely taken up by enteroendocrine L cells via the taurine transporter. This process increases the levels of cytosolic ATP. The increase in intracellular Ca2+ concentrations and glucagon‐like peptide‐1 secretion through membrane depolarization is caused by the closure of ATP‐sensitive potassium channels ...
