Recommendations concerning energy information model documentation, public access, and evaluation [PDF]
, 1979 In this study we provide an analysis of the factors underlying Congressional concern regarding model documentation, policies for public access, and evaluation procedures of the Energy Information Administration (EIA) and its predecessor agencies; we also

A Reappraisal of the Principle of Maximum Power
EcologiesLiving organisms continuously capture and transform free energy to survive and grow. The Maximum Power Principle (MPP) states that life evolves to maximize power—the rate of energy acquisition and conversion into useful forms—within prevailing ...

Ecology and Evolution, 2023 Parasites are ubiquitous, yet their effects on hosts are difficult to quantify and generalize across ecosystems. One promising metric of parasitic impact uses the metabolic theory of ecology (MTE) to calculate energy flux, an estimate of energy lost to ...

Influence of the upper gravity-wave damping layer on precipitation over complex terrain
Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2022 The upper boundary condition of a numerical model can significantly influence the model prediction results. This study used the Weather Research and Forecasting model to introduce the Rayleigh damping layer in the complex terrain of southern Gansu, China.

Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Patients with chronic kidney disease undergoing hemodialysis commonly experience reduced physical function, fatigue, poor sleep quality, and impaired health‐related quality of life. Intradialytic exercise has been proposed as a non‐pharmacological strategy to improve these outcomes.

Rough Design of a Double-Stator Axial Flux Permanent Magnet Generator for a Rim-Driven Marine Current Turbine [PDF]
, 2012 This paper deals with the rough design of a Double-Stator Axial Flux Permanent Magnet Machine (DSAFPM) for a rim-driven Marine Current Turbine (MCT). The DSAFPM machine will be compared to a previously developed and realized Radial Flux Permanent Magnet ...

Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Chronic micro‐inflammation in patients with end‐stage renal disease (ESRD) is a significant driver of cardiovascular complications and diminished quality of life. While standard hemodialysis (SHD) effectively manages small‐molecule clearance, its ability to remove medium‐to‐large uremic toxins—the primary catalysts of systemic ...

Ignition of a rectangular solid by an external heat flux [PDF]
, 1994 The influence of corners on the ignition of a solid exposed to a surface energy flux is analyzed with large activation energy asymptotics. We begin with the analysis of the ignition of semi-infinite wedges by a constant heat flux.
