CONCEPTS OF IMPROVING CURRENT PROTECTION OF POWER-GRID LINES by F. A. Romaniuk, M. A. Shevaldin

“…The  6–35  kV  power-grid  current  protection  serves  to  protect  the  transmission  lines against phase-to-phase short-circuits. The major disadvantage of it lies in the relatively large time delays of the last stages especially in the main sections of the grid owing to the stepped relay characteristics as well as a large number of the steps. …”

Simulation of Novel NEMS Contact Switch Using MRTD with Alterable Steps by Wen-Ge Yu, Kang-Qu Zhou, Zheng-Zhong Wu, Ting-Hong Yang, Jing Zhao

“…The Haar-wavelet-based multiresolution time domain (MRTD) with compactly supported scaling function is used for modeling and analyzing the nanomachine switch for the first time. The major advantage of the MRTD algorithms is their capability to develop real-time time and space adaptive grids through the efficient thresholding of the wavelet coefficients. …”

Gas Transport Arising from the Decomposition of Methane Hydrates in the Sediments of the Arctic Shelf to the Atmosphere: Numerical Modeling by Mariia Trimonova, Nikolay Baryshnikov, Sergey Turuntaev

“…This study investigates the transport of methane released from gas hydrate decomposition through sedimentary layers to quantify its flux into the atmosphere, a critical process given methane’s role as a major greenhouse gas. A novel methodology was developed to model two-phase, unsteady gas flow in regions of hydrate decomposition, incorporating key factors such as relative permeability curves, capillary pressure, hydrostatics, and gas diffusion. …”

Critical mobility in policy making for epidemic containment by Jesús A. Moreno López, David Mateo, Alberto Hernando, Sandro Meloni, José J. Ramasco

“…Despite its simplicity, our model shows the emergence of a critical mobility level, inducing major outbreaks when surpassed. We explore the interplay between mobility restrictions and the infection in recent intervention policies seen across many countries, and how interventions in the form of closures triggered by incidence rates can guide the epidemic into an oscillatory regime with recurrent waves. …”

Nitrogen and Sulphur Relations in Effecting Yield and Quality of Cereals and Oilseed Crops by B.K. Nad, T.J. Purakayastha, D.V. Singh

“…Easily available forms of sulphur, like ammonium sulphate and gypsum, as compared to pyrite or elemental sulphur, maintained adequate N to S ratio in rice, resulting in a reduction in the percent of unfilled grain, a major consideration in rice yield. A narrow N to S ratio, with both at higher levels, increased the oil content but raised the saponification value of the oil, a measure of free fatty acids. …”
