Performance Comparison of Monocrystalline, Polycrystalline, Low Concentrated, and Bifacial PV Modules in a Particular Geographic Location of South India

Energy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
This study aims to conduct a performance comparison of irradiation and temperature on different commercially available PV modules like PPVM, MPVM, LPVM, and BPVM. Here, the TPVM is not considered in the analysis due to its toxic nature. This study has considered the LPVM because researchers have not focused on it due to the higher area requirement for ...

Functional Bread From Bambara Groundnut and Orange Peel Attenuates Hyperglycemia and Oxidative Stress in a High‐Fat Diet/Streptozotocin‐Induced Type 2 Diabetes Rat Model

Food Chemistry International, EarlyView.
This study evaluated Bambara groundnut–wheat composite bread fortified with orange peel in diabetic rats. Diets significantly lowered blood glucose, inhibited α‐glucosidase and α‐amylase, and boosted antioxidant enzymes compared to controls. Results emphasize BG‐based functional foods' potential to help manage type 2 diabetes through regulation of ...

Effects of hydrocarbon spills on the temperature and moisture regimes of Cryosols in the Ross Sea region [PDF]

, 2002
Hydrocarbon spills have occurred on Antarctic soils where fuel oils are utilized, moved or stored. We investigated the effects of hydrocarbon spills on soil temperature and moisture regimes by comparing the properties of existing oil contaminated sites ...

Climate Change Has Already Reshaped North American Forest Pest Dynamics: Insights From Multidecadal Process‐Based Modelling

Global Change Biology Communications, EarlyView.
Climate change has rapidly expanded and shifted suitable climate conditions for eight major forest pests across North America, especially toward northern and higher elevation areas. Host exposure and overlap among pests are increasing, raising ecological and economic risks, and signaling accelerating future impacts under continued warming.
