Efficient approach for optimal parameter estimation of PV using Pelican Optimization Algorithm

open access: yesCogent Engineering
In order to optimize the performance of a Solar Photovoltaic (PV) system, it is necessary to develop an appropriate PV cell model and accurately determine the unknown parameters associated with the model.

A novel drifter designed for use with a mounted Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler in shallow environments [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
We present a novel design for a surface drifter, mounted with a pulse-coherent Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP) for measuring near-surface (depths 0.18-1 m) flows.

Should more teams “trust the process” of tanking?

open access: yesContemporary Economic Policy, EarlyView.
Abstract In many professional sport leagues, the worst‐performing teams receive higher probability of earning top draft picks. This provides teams incentives to purposefully lose, or “tank,” if they are not likely to contend for the playoffs or championships.

Combining radar and direct observation to estimate pelican collision risk at a proposed wind farm on the Cape west coast, South Africa.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2018
Pre-construction assessments of bird collision risk at proposed wind farms are often confounded by insufficient or poor quality data describing avian flight paths through the development area.

The wide gape of snakes: A comparison of the developing mandibular symphysis in sauropsids

open access: yesJournal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
Our analysis explores the adaptations at the mandibular symphysis required to allow extreme lower jaw mobility in macrostomate snakes taking a comparative approach. Abstract The origin and evolution of snakes has been marked by the acquisition of many morphological and functional novelties, one of which is the possession of a highly kinetic skull ...

A macro-anatomic study of white pelican (pelecanus onocrotalus) hearts [PDF]

open access: yesEurasian Journal of Veterinary Sciences
The aim of this study is to reveal the macroanatomy of the heart valves of the 5 white pelicans. The left atrioventricular valve consists of one septal and two parietal leaves (cuspis).

Citizen science reveals host‐switching in louse flies and keds (Diptera: Hippoboscidae) during a period of anthropogenic change

open access: yesMedical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.
A study of louse flies in the United Kingdom, Isle of Man, and Ireland found 212 different interactions between Hippoboscidae and their hosts, of which 70 were previously unrecorded. No louse flies were found on aquatic species of birds. Host‐switching to gulls (Laridae) has occurred during a period in which these species have started relying on ...

Enhancing distribution generator impact mitigation using an adaptive protection scheme based on modified pelican optimization algorithm and active database management system

open access: yesEnergy Science & Engineering, 2023
This paper addresses the challenge of protecting electrical networks in the presence of distribution generators (DGs). The use of DGs affects fault currents, leading to miscoordination between protection relays and causing constraints on network ...
