The continued relevance of the second-order elections (SOE) theory is one most widely debated issues in study European Parliament (EP) elections. While has been criticised from many angles, recent success populist, extremist, and Eurosceptic parties raises additional questions about applicability a model that depicts EP as low-stakes affair revolving around national issues. This article tests S...

OBJECTIVES: The US Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality sponsored a comparative effectiveness review of interventions for preschoolers at risk for attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). METHODS: Medline, Cochrane CENTRAL, Embase, PsycInfo, and Education Resources Information Center were searched from 1980 to November 24, 2011. Selected studies were comparative, and enrolled chil...

Wholesale electricity markets are undergoing reforms to allow greater participation of energy storage. These raise questions regarding the roles market operators in energy-storage management and design market-participation models offer parameters for This paper examines implications state-of-energy (SOE) management. To this end, we develop a bi-level stochastic optimization model, wherein upper...

Canada has two core payment systems for processing funds transfers between financial institutions: the Large Value Transfer System (LVTS) and Automated Clearing Settlement (ACSS). These will be replaced in next few years by three new systems: Lynx, Optimization Engine (SOE) Real-Time Rail (RTR). We employ historical LVTS ACSS data use discrete choice demand estimation approach to uncover end us...

Summary High-temperature electrolysis for reducing H2O (and CO2) to H2 CO) converts concentrated solar energy into fuels and chemical feedstock. We invented an integrated reactor concept comprising a cavity receiver reactant heating, solid oxide electrolyzer (SOE) stack water electrolysis, photovoltaic (PV) cells the SOE stack's electricity demand. A nu...

To ensure the safety and reliability of an echelon-use lithium-ion battery (EULIB), performance a EULIB is accurately reflected. This paper presents method estimating combined state energy (SOE) charge (SOC). First, aiming to improve accuracy SOE SOC estimation, third-order resistor-capacitance equivalent model (TRCEM) established. Second, long short-term memory (LSTM) introduced optimize Ohmic...
