The countercyclical effect of fiscal rules in Russia

The instability of economic processes fuels the inconsistency of the revenue flow to the budget system. In order to overcome the cyclical nature of the budget process, which depends on cyclical fluctuations of economic conditions, fiscal ru...

Spatial Optimization of Wind and Solar Farm Location in Electric Power Systems Considering Power System Flexibility Characteristics

The rapid development of wind and solar energy necessitates a solution to the problem of the optimal spatial placement of wind farms (WFs) and solar farms (SFs) within electric power systems. The non-stationary generation schedules of WFs a...

A comprehensive review on the adoption of insulated block/eco-block as a green building technology from a resident perspective

Green building technologies (GBTs) have gained significant momentum as a result of the environmental, energy management and societal problems within the building sector. The insulated block/eco-block is a GBT, which consists of an insulatio...

Renewable Energy and Energy Storage Systems

The use of fossil fuels has contributed to climate change and global warming, which has led to a growing need for renewable and ecologically friendly alternatives to these. It is accepted that renewable energy sources are the ideal option t...

Pattern Recognition with Artificial Intelligence in Space Experiments

The application of advanced Artificial Intelligence (AI) techniques in astroparticle experiments represents a major advancement in both data analysis and experimental design. As space missions become increasingly complex, integrating AI too...

SEC22B modulates ClC-5/TMEM9 trafficking and serves as a urinary marker for Dent's Disease.

A maladaptive ER stress response triggers dysfunction in highly active muscles of mice with SELENON loss

Selenoprotein N (SELENON) is an endoplasmic reticulum (ER) protein whose loss of function leads to human SELENON-related myopathies. SelenoN knockout (KO) mouse limb muscles, however, are protected from the disease, and display no major alt...
