This paper presents a comprehensive error analysis of the day-ahead photovoltaic (PV) production multi-step forecasting model that uses chained support vector regression (SVR). A principal component (PCA) is also implemented to investigate possible improvements SVR prediction accuracy. Special attention was given hyper-parameter tuning and PCA+SVR models; specifically, dispersion errors when fi...

Paracoccidioidomycosis is a chronic infection that primarily affects the lungs. Here we investigated cellular and humoral immune responses after intrathoracic Paracoccidioidesbrasiliensis infection in BALB/c mice. P. brasiliensis-colony-forming units (CFUs), fungal DNA and granulomas in lungs increased progressively, peaking at day 90 postinfection (p.i.). IFN-gamma production was highest on da...

Three pilot-scale anaerobic digesters (two of a unique fixed-film design, of which one was fed micronutrients, one not, and an identically sized plug-flow digester, which served as the control) were monitored for methane production as a comparative indication of performance. All of these pilot-scale digesters were loaded daily with high-solids dairy manure, passed through a 1.5" x 3" mesh scree...
