Evaluating Battery Degradation Models in Rolling-Horizon BESS Arbitrage Optimization

Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) can benefit from price volatility in electricity markets, but frequent cycling increases degradation and reduces long-term value. This study develops a rolling-horizon dispatch framework in which batter...

Calibration improves estimation of linkage disequilibrium on low sample sizes.

Validation and Recalibration of Modified Mayo Delirium Prediction Tool in a Hospitalized Cohort.

Forecasting the future of American mass shootings with Bayesian agent-based model calibration.

Beyond overall accuracy: subgroup performance and threshold calibration of AI-assisted chest radiography for equity-oriented pulmonary tuberculosis screening.

Mangrove taxon mapping from Sentinel-1/2 using a compact one-dimensional network with probability calibration, predictive entropy, and frozen transfer evaluation.

Calibration of Microscopic Traffic Simulation in an Urban Environment Using GPS-Data

Accurate traffic models are of decisive importance for well-founded traffic engineering and represent the basic framework for comprehensive simulation studies as modelling of traffic demand. Using traffic count and speed measurements of roa...

Charlson comorbidity index has no incremental value for mortality risk prediction in nursing home residents with COVID-19 disease

Abstract Background During the COVID-19 pandemic, nursing home (NH) residents faced the highest risk of severe COVID-19 disease and mortality. Due to their frailty status, comorbidity burden can serve as a useful predictive indicator of vul...

ICESat‐2 Pointing Calibration and Geolocation Performance

Abstract ICESat‐2 science requirements are dependent on the accurate real‐time pointing control (i.e., geolocation control) and postprocessed geolocation knowledge of the laser altimeter surface returns. Prelaunch pointing alignment errors ...

Linha de Calibração Gravimétrica Observatório Nacional - Agulhas Negras

A Linha de Calibração Gravimétrica Observatório Nacional - Agulhas Negras foi implantada com o objetivo de monitorar as características dos gravímetros utilizados nos levantamentos da Rede Gravimétrica Fundamental Brasileira. Trata-se de um...

<i>Escherichia coli</i> Optoelectronic Sensors for In Situ Monitoring of Selected Materials Across Water Supply Systems

Chemical monitoring of pollutants and hazardous materials in water supply systems traditionally depends on centralized laboratories, advanced instrumentation, and trained personnel, limiting accessibility and preventing real-time, on-site a...

Semi-Resolved CFD-DEM Study on the Influence of ‘Surface Energy’ Factors on the Deposition of Lignin Particles in Ceramic Membrane Pores

This study adopted a semi‑analytical CFD‑DEM coupling method to simulate the movement and deposition of lignin particles in ceramic membrane pores, with the aim of elucidating the microscopic mechanisms of membrane fouling. The movement of ...

Ground calibration tests of the laser altimeter (LIDAR) for MMX mission

Abstract The spacecraft for the Japanese Martian Moon eXploration mission is equipped with a LIDAR laser altimeter. The slant range continuously measured by the LIDAR is used for the correction of the local topography and the orbit and atti...

Assessment of sediment yield and accumulation in reservoir: The case of Gibe One Reservoir, Southwestern Ethiopia

Soil erosion and sediment buildup are the factors that speed up the decline in capacity and function of reservoirs, agricultural products, and water resources. In order to simulate sediment and runoff and map high sediment-yielding sub-basi...

Admission prognostic nutritional index improves risk stratification for the carbapenem-resistant phenotype in culture-positive Klebsiella pneumoniae: a retrospective cohort study

BackgroundCarbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP) remains an infection-control challenge. We assessed whether admission immuno-nutritional status, measured by the Prognostic Nutritional Index (PNI), is associated with the CRKP phe...

An Improved Design of the MultiCal On-Site Calibration Device for Industrial Robots

MultiCal is an affordable, high-precision measuring device designed for the on-site calibration of industrial robots. Its design features a long measuring rod with a spherical tip that is attached to the robot. By restricting the rod’s tip ...

Simultaneous analysis of creatinine and uric acid in human urine samples using mean centering, ratio subtraction, and derivative spectrophotometric techniques as a green analytical protocol

Four rapid, accurate, and straightforward derivative spectrophotometric methods were developed to quantify a binary mixture of creatinine (CRT) and uric acid (UA) in human urine samples. The first technique was based on a zero-crossing tech...

Validation in Forensic Text Comparison: Issues and Opportunities

It has been argued in forensic science that the empirical validation of a forensic inference system or methodology should be performed by replicating the conditions of the case under investigation and using data relevant to the case. This s...

A sustainable supramolecular deep eutectic solvent system for dispersive liquid–liquid microextraction followed by HPLC for the determination of melamine in milk samples

This work presents the development and application of an innovative green supramolecular deep eutectic solvent (SUPRADES)-based DLLME approach for the extraction and quantification of melamine in milk matrices. For this purpose, thymol and ...

Assessing the impact of forest structure disturbances on the arboreal movement and energetics of orangutans—An agent-based modeling approach

Agent-based models have been developed and widely employed to assess the impact of disturbances or conservation management on animal habitat use, population development, and viability. However, the direct impacts of canopy disturbance on th...
