-Numerical computations of tsunamis are made for the 1992 Nicaragua earthquake using different governing equations, bottom frictional values and bathymetry data. The results are compared with each other as well as with the observations, both tide gauge records and runup heights. Comparison of the observed and computed tsunami waveforms indicates that the use of detailed bathymetry data with a s...

Abstract Lidar-based minute-scale wind power forecasts are valuable to support grid stability and electricity trading. Current methodologies able outperform the benchmark persistence only during transient situations unstable stratification. So far, methods that extend lidar-based observer-based by embedding turbine operational data not stable atmospheric conditions either. In this paper we ther...

As research on large regions of earth progresses, many geographical subdivision grids have been established for various spatial applications by different industries and disciplines. However, there is no clear relationship between the different grids and no consistent spatial reference grid that allows for information exchange and comprehensive application. Sharing and exchange of data across de...

INTRODUCTION The aim of this study was to evaluate the biofilm dissolution and cleaning ability of different irrigant solutions on intraorally infected dentin. METHODS One hundred twenty bovine dentin specimens were infected intraorally by using a removable orthodontic device. Thirty samples were used for each irrigant solution: 2% chlorhexidine and 1%, 2.5%, and 5.25% sodium hypochlorite (Na...

A critical aspect of power systems research is the availability suitable data, access to which limited by privacy concerns and sensitive nature energy infrastructure. This lack in turn, hinders development modern avenues such as machine learning approaches or stochastic formulations. To overcome this challenge, paper proposes a systematic, data-driven framework for reconstructing high-fidelity ...

Generation of the grid was co-ordinated by Michael Carron (presently at NATO SACLANT Undersea Research Centre) with major input provided by the gridding efforts of Bill Rankin and Lois Varnado at the US Naval Oceanographic Office, Andrew Goodwillie and Peter Hunter at Southampton Oceanography Centre. Significant regional contributions were also provided by Martin Jakobsson (University of New Ha...

a suitable diet and oviposition substrate are two basic needs for successful mass rearing of orius spp. and this may reduce their production costs. the effect of various foods containing eggs of ephestia kuehniella and sitotroga cerealella with various pollens were investigated on the biological parameters of o. albidipennis in the laboratory. moreover, survival, hatching rate and fecundity of ...

Because of the high variability of solar generation, integrating solar energy into the grid requires estimating the total energy demand and total solar generation behind a node using such available data as load measurements at the node and irradiance data. In this work, we propose a flexible, robust semiparametric solar generation estimation methodology with uncertainty bounds, which nonparamet...

Continuous access to energy for commercial and industrial sites across the United States to cover their needs is essential for them to keep producing goods and providing services. Nonetheless, the price of electricity provided by utilities is variable throughout the day. In addition, Commercial and Industrial customers have to pay demand charges that are proportional to the maximum power drawn ...
