The “multi-energy era”, which is complementary to new energy and fossil energy, has arrived. Demand-side management (DSM) gradually gained worldwide attention because of its advantages high flexibility great response potential. However, the appearance integrated system (IES) broken existing mode independent operation traditional systems, made different forms multi-energy flow more closely coupl...

Integrated energy system (IES) is an effective solution for and environment problems. In view of the difficulty traditional reliability assessment methods to reasonably effectively assess IES, supply method based on sequential Monte Carlo simulation proposed in this study. The optimal operation realised by mobilising multi-energy complementary characteristics during device failure. under three ...

The integrated energy system (IES) plays a key role in conservation and emission reduction. In order to realize the low-carbon economic dispatch of IES, current studies usually utilize fixed ladder-type pricing mechanism-based carbon unit cost (CEUC) optimal model. However, those mechanisms fail take emissions levels into account, relevant parameters, such as interval length, are hard set. tack...

The Ricardian model predicts that countries should produce and export relatively more in industries in which they are relatively more productive. Though one of the most celebrated insights in the theory of international trade, this prediction has received little attention in the empirical literature since the mid-1960s. The main reason behind this lack of popularity is the absence of clear theo...

Magnetoencephalography and electroencephalography (MEG, EEG) are essential techniques for studying distributed signal dynamics in the human brain. In particular, the functional role of neural oscillations remains to be clarified. For that reason, imaging methods need to identify distinct brain regions that concurrently generate oscillatory activity, with adequate separation in space and time. Y...

BACKGROUND A man-made chemical disaster occurred in the Amur River, leading to posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in the Nanai people indigenous to the river's surrounding area. PTSD severity measured by the total scores of Impact of Event Scale-Revised (IES-R) (Total-I) and Clinician-Administered PTSD Scale (CAPS) (Total-C) were not always identical in terms of demographic and ethnocultural ...

Integral equation techniques are often used to extract models of integrated circuit structures. This extraction involves solving a dense system of linear equations, and using direct solution methods is prohibitive for large problems. In this paper, we present IES (pronounced \ice cube"), a fast Integral Equation Solver for three-dimensional problems with arbitrary kernels. Extraction methods ba...

Spontaneous, informal gatherings among colleagues often spur greater exchanges of ideas than formal meetings. The K22 project aims to support these spontaneous collaborative interactions by embedding intelligent kiosks, small networked Intelligent Environments (IEs), in hallways, break rooms, and other informal meeting spaces. These kiosks will enable private capture and indexing of casual meet...
