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...

Identification of Interfunctional Coordination Items Important for Business Performance of SMEs

This paper provides a deeper analysis of the relationships between interfunctional coordination (IFC) and business performance (BP). IFC is studied in many fields such as marketing, management, logistics, informatics or human resources. The...

Spatial and Temporal Variability of Bed Exchange Characteristics of Fine Sediments From the Weser Estuary

Sedimentation of fine-grained sediments in estuaries is a natural physical phenomenon influenced by biogeochemical processes. In the estuarine turbidity maximum (ETM), enhanced net deposition of sediments is observed even in areas with high...

A Study of Factors Influencing the Selectivity and Batch Reaction Kinetics of Raney Nickel-Catalyzed Nitrile Hydrogenation.

Antiaromatic expanded porphyrin enables redox-tunable photoconductivity in columnar liquid crystals.

Discursive Means and Tactics of Forming the Media Image of the President of Russia in the German Political Media Discourse

Hemispherical Microelectrode Array for Ex Vivo Retinal Neural Recording

To investigate the neuronal visual encoding process in the retina, researchers have performed in vitro and ex vivo electrophysiological experiments using animal retinal tissues. The microelectrode array (MEA) has become a key component in r...

Transcutaneous permeation enhancer complex for polymer-based transdermal patches

Selecting a permeation enhancer complex (PEC) for inclusion in a matrix-type transdermal patch (TP) is a primary task in creating a new dosage form with percutaneous administration. Objective: to develop a biologically safe PEC capable of r...

ROS/Enzyme Dual-Responsive Drug Delivery System for Targeted Colorectal Cancer Therapy: Synergistic Chemotherapy, Anti-Inflammatory, and Gut Microbiota Modulation

Objectives: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a leading cause of cancer-related mortality, driven by chronic inflammation, gut microbiota dysbiosis, and complex tumor microenvironment interactions. Current therapies are limited by systemic toxicit...

Mechanochemical Synthesis of TiO₂-CeO₂ Mixed Oxides Utilized as a Screen-Printed Sensing Material for Oxygen Sensor

TiO2 and CeO2 are well known as oxygen sensing materials. Despite high sensitivity, the actual utilization of these materials in gas detection remains limited. Research conducted over the last two decades has revealed synergistic effects of...

A Neurocinematic Study of the Suspense Effects in Hitchcock's Psycho

As a new and rapidly emerging cross-disciplinary research field, neurocinematics focuses on movie research from an empirical perspective, adopting functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), and other cognitive neuroscience technologies a...

On the Structure of Oxygen Deficient Amorphous Oxide Films

Abstract Understanding defects in amorphous oxide films and heterostructures is vital to improving performance of microelectronic devices, thin‐film transistors, and electrocatalysis. However, to what extent the structure and properties of ...

Antibacterial effects of nano-imprinted moth-eye film in practical settings.

BACKGROUND:Recent studies report that surfaces displaying micrometer- or nanometer-sized undulating structures exhibit antibacterial effects. In previous work, we described the use of an advanced nanofabrication technique to generate an art...

Modified electrode voltammetric sensors for trace metals in environmental samples

Nafion-modified mercury thin film electrodes have been investigated for the analysis of trace metals in environmental samples of waters and effluent by batch injection analysis with square wave anodic stripping voltammetry. The method, invo...
