Performance of Snow Ablation Optimization for Solving Optimum Allocation of Generator Units

IEEE Access
The snow ablation optimization (SAO) is a new metaheuristic motivated by the melting and sublimation properties of snow. In this work, the economic load dispatch (ELD) problem, one of the key components of a power system, is solved using the SAO.

How can children and young people have a voice in urban treescapes?

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Scientific understanding of climate change has, to date, failed to result in sufficient action. This paper proposes that a deficit model of top‐down learning and dissemination in relation to public engagement with science may be part of the problem, particularly when considering the attitudes, values and empowerment of children and young ...

What Is a Polyolefin? A Critical Overview of Ethylene Copolymers Used as Solar Photovoltaic Module Encapsulants

Progress in Photovoltaics: Research and Applications, EarlyView.
Polyolefin encapsulants are gaining dominance in PV modules, yet confusion persists around PO, POE, and TPO definitions. This study clarifies terminology, reviews materials, and properties and proposes a taxonomy to improve understanding, communication, and reliability in solar module manufacturing.

A Reliable Medium for Monitoring Atmospheric Deposition near Emission Sources by Using Snow from Agricultural Areas

Atmosphere
Atmospheric deposition is an important source of heavy metal in soil and the use of dust collection cylinders is a traditional monitoring method. This method has limitations in agricultural areas because polluted soil particles may become resuspended and eventually deposited into these cylinders, leading to overestimates in the amount of atmospheric ...

Overall outcome, functioning, and disability in older adults 3 to 14 years after traumatic brain injury

PM&R, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Epidemiological studies show an increasing incidence of traumatic brain injury (TBI) among people aged 65 years and older. Advances in neurointensive care have improved survival after TBI. There is a need for knowledge about long‐term outcome after TBI among older survivors of TBI.

Subsurface Investigations of Cryo‐Hydrogeological Features in a High Arctic Catchment Under Transition

Permafrost and Periglacial Processes, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In this study, the internal structure and seasonal variations of cryo‐hydrogeological features were investigated in the Fuglebekken catchment, located near the Polish Polar Station Hornsund in Svalbard. Over a few years, rising air temperatures and intensified water circulation have significantly altered the distribution, extent, and state of ...

Landless peasants, soilless cultivation: British agricultural experimentation and intervention in post‐independence Iraq (1932–1958)

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
‘Greening’ is often depicted as an inherently benevolent practice, turning arid stretches of land into arable and fertile plots. However, by considering a longer history of place and taking archival records into account, such transformations are rendered more complex and, often, more fraught.

Towards a spatial snow climatology for Switzerland: Comparison and validation of existing datasets

Meteorologische Zeitschrift
In the European Alps, surface snow cover is of high relevance and a major factor for environmental, ecological and economical systems. The provision of accurate and timely climatological information on the spatio-temporal distribution of Alpine snow ...
