Comparison of financing costs for wind turbine and fossil powerplants

open access: yes, 1995
This paper compares the financing costs of wind turbine powerplants with those of fossil powerplants. The goal of this examination is to determine the extent to which these costs differ and what the sources of such differences may be.

Intensity Measures for Short‐Period Structures and Their Non‐structural Components

open access: yesEarthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 54, Issue 5, Page 1361-1375, 25 April 2025.
ABSTRACT Selecting (near) optimal intensity measures (IMs) for seismic fragility assessment is fundamental for the accurate and unbiased assessment of risk. While moderate/long‐period structures benefit from a variety of well‐established options, short‐period structures and their non‐structural components (NSCs) present a more ambiguous scenario ...

Impact loading of a space nuclear powerplant

open access: yesFrattura ed Integrità Strutturale, 2013
Preferred formulation of the problem in two space dimensions are described for solving the three fundamental equations of mechanics (conservation of mass, conservation of momentum, and conservation of energy). Models of the behavior of materials provide the closure to the three fundamentals equations for applications to problems in compressible fluid ...

Optimizing Photovoltaic Soiling Loss Predictions in Louisiana: A Comparative Study of Measured and Modeled Data Using a Novel Approach

open access: yesProgress in Photovoltaics: Research and Applications, Volume 33, Issue 4, Page 560-579, April 2025.
Traditional soiling models assume complete cleaning of PV panels after rain reaches a threshold, but in‐field testing shows this assumption is flawed. Improved Kimber and HSU models were developed to more accurately represent postrainfall soiling recovery, achieving RMSE reductions of up to 23% and MAPE under 1%.

Epichlöe festucae endophyte mediated maternal inheritance of dollar spot disease resistance in hard fescue

open access: yesCrop Science, Volume 65, Issue 2, March/April 2025.
Abstract Hard fescue (Festuca brevipila) is a fine‐leaved cool‐season turfgrass and is well adapted for low‐maintenance areas, such as home lawns, parks, and roadsides. Breeding for improved disease resistance is a major objective in utilizing hard fescue under low‐input management.
