A Review of Power System Flexibility With High Penetration of Renewables
IEEE Transactions on Power Systems, 2019The notion of secure operation of power systems, with its present semantic, dates back to the last decade. Since then, tremendous research effort has investigated secure operation of the power system. Nevertheless, operators are still faced with security

Annual Review of Biophysics and Biophysical Chemistry, 1988 Both microscopic and macroscopic models of DNA flexibility should lead to the same quantitative description of the elastic properties of the DNA helix. This belief is reinforced by the fact that essentially all experimental (solution) studies to date support the macroscopic, elastic model.

Flexible flexibility! Food categorization flexibility and utilitarian preference
Journal of Consumer Marketing, 2018Purpose The purpose of this study is to propose that high categorization flexibility’s positive influence on hedonic or affect-laden choice is attenuated by conservation and nutrition mind-sets.

Flexible power for flexible electronics [PDF]
Science, 2016 Materials Science A challenge for flexible electronics is to couple devices with power sources that are also flexible. Ideally, they could also be processed in a way that is compatible with current microfabrication technologies. Huang et al. deposited a relatively thick layer of TiC on top of an oxide-coated Si film.
