Features of Modeling the Operating Modes of Outdoor Lighting Lines by V. N. Kalechyts

“…The rational operation mode of the outdoor lighting line is determined by the magnitude of the voltage deviation from the nominal value, the indicators of non-sinusoidality and voltage asymmetry at the power supply point. Additional possibilities for modeling the modes of operation of lighting lines are to search for damage (detection of short circuits, determination of the presence of faulty lamps).…”

Numerical Study of the Aerodynamics of a Hovering Hummingbird’s Wing with Dynamic Morphing by Yuanbo Dong, Bifeng Song, Dong Xue, Yuanbo Li, Wenqing Yang

“…A significant enhancement in aerodynamic forces was found during the downstroke, along with a large number of power consumptions. We found that the asymmetry in the time-averaged vertical force between the two half strokes was 3.5, and the value was higher than that reported earlier. …”

Single-cell profiling of penta- and tetradactyl mouse limb buds identifies mesenchymal progenitors controlling digit numbers and identities by Victorio Palacio, Anna Pancho, Angela Morabito, Jonas Malkmus, Zhisong He, Geoffrey Soussi, Rolf Zeller, Barbara Treutlein, Aimée Zuniga

“…A second, peripheral LMP (pLMP) population is anteriorly biased and reduction/loss of its asymmetric distribution underlies the loss of middle digit asymmetry and identities in Grem1 tetradactyl and pig limb buds. pLMPs depend on BMP activity, while dLMPs require GREM1-mediated BMP antagonism. …”

SEMANTIC SYNCRETISM AS A REGULATOR OF DYNAMIC STABILITY IN THE LEXICAL SYSTEM OF A LANGUAGE by Marina Vas. Pimenova

“…The article aims to describe the peculiarities of historical evolution in the lexical-and-semantic system of the Russian language stipulated by the development of the phenomenon of syncretism – formal substantive linguistic asymmetry, which is noted to be insufficiently studied. …”

Study on the dynamic load sharing characteristics of nutation face gear transmission by Wang Li, Yufeng Gao, Jingzi Zhang

“…Reducing the radial support stiffness of the left branch, increasing the radial support stiffness of the right branch, and increasing the coupling stiffness between the oblique axis segment of the input shaft can improve the system's load-sharing performance by 76%. The asymmetry of the comprehensive meshing error parameters in the two power transmission branches can increase the system's load-sharing coefficient up to 1.8. …”

Tools for assessing risk of reporting biases in studies and syntheses of studies: a systematic review by Julian P T Higgins, Joanne E McKenzie, Matthew J Page

“…Various criteria are used across tools to designate a synthesis as being at ‘high’ risk of bias due to selective publication (eg, evidence of funnel plot asymmetry, use of non-comprehensive searches). However, the relative weight assigned to each criterion in the overall judgement is unclear for most of these tools. …”

A Novel Hybrid Improved RIME Algorithm for Global Optimization Problems by Wuke Li, Xiong Yang, Yuchen Yin, Qian Wang

“…However, RIME comes with a couple of disadvantages: a limited exploratory capability, slow convergence, and inherent asymmetry between exploration and exploitation. An improved version with more efficiency and adaptability to solve these issues now comes in the form of Hybrid Estimation Rime-ice Optimization, in short, HERIME. …”

Field‐Aligned Currents Induced by Magnetopause Motions Under Pressure Perturbations by Boyi Wang, Xinyu Xu, Yukitoshi Nishimura, Yen‐Jung Wu, Zhonghua Xu, Primož Kajdic, De‐Sheng Han, Yi Wang, Xueshang Feng

“…The inward and azimuthal motions of magnetopause caused equatorward‐moving auroral arcs, which extended westward or eastward, centered in the prenoon (12–13 MLT) or postnoon (9–10 MLT) sectors, respectively. The dawn‐dusk asymmetry in this distribution may be due to the contribution from foreshock activities. …”

Performance Study of Intermittent Heating Mode Combining Air-Source Heat Pump with Radiator in Hot Summer and Cold Winter Zones of China by Mingjing Fan, Haifeng Cheng, Mengting Nian, Shiqi Xie

“…The results show that the water supply temperature of 60°C at the startup stage can rapidly increase the indoor air temperature; in the stable stage, the water supply temperature is 40°C, the indoor air maintains a suitable temperature and relative humidity, and the indoor thermal environment is basically unaffected by the change in outdoor temperature and humidity; the inner surface temperature of the envelope (except the window) presents a similar trend to the indoor air temperature, which reduces the asymmetry of the thermal radiation field around the human body. …”
