Renewable energy systems (RES) have been proposed as an effective solution for sustainable development. However, the impact of municipal contextual conditions on development RES is still unclear. One literature gaps lack understanding whether balanced economic, social, and environmental aspects sustainability – triple bottom line (TBL) perspective can support policy. We conducted a quantitative...

BACKGROUND Using the reverse Trendelenburg position (RTP) during functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) is a safe, simple, and cost-free method that has been found to reduce intraoperative blood loss. However, the critical angle of RTP that produces the least amount of bleeding without compromising surgical technique and safety remains unanswered. The objective of this study was to assess t...

1. Certain nonlinear properties of molluscan neurones suggest that network activity could be described in relation to nonlinear relaxation oscillators. 2. A specific example is fitted by the Van der Pol equation with an exponentially decaying damping coefficient, and changes in the associated energy and sensitivity are considered. 3. More precise details of the interaction pattern determined by...

The U.S. final demand categories such as household consumption, private fixed investments, government purchases and investments, and export of goods and services have a wide range of environmental, economic, and social impacts. Analysis of these impacts, termed as the Triple Bottom Line (TBL), stimulated a tremendous interest by policy makers over the last decade. Therefore, current research ai...

A piecewise Tolman-Bondi-Lemaitre (TBL) cell-model for the universe incorporating local collapsing and expanding inhomogeneities is presented here. The cell-model is made up of TBL underdense and overdense spherical regions surrounded by an intermediate region of TBL shells embedded in an expanding universe. The cell-model generalizes the Friedmann as well as Einstein-Straus swiss-cheese models...
