The impact of spatial representation in energy transition modelling on systemwide energy return on investment by Hasret Sahin, Abebe Asfaw Solomon, Arman Aghahosseini, Christian Breyer

“…Further additional capacities of complementary technologies along with an upsurge in renewable capacities drive EROI values down. Disregarding the physical distances in the energy modelling results in large EROI enhancement due to the artificial smoothing effect of the aggregation method. …”

Internal gravity waves versus inertial waves in the laboratory by Joubaud, Sylvain, Boury, Samuel, Odier, Philippe

“…Even though their dispersion relation is very similar, internal gravity waves and inertial waves have different structural characteristics and arise from distinct physical mechanisms. Understanding the analogies and the differences in their behaviors is crucial for studying their respective roles. …”

Through restful waters and deep commotion: A study on burnout and health impairment of Italian seafarers from the JD-R model perspective. [version 1; peer review: 1 approved, 2 app... by Lara Colombo, Lara Bertola, Margherita Zito, Clarissa Cricenti, Lorenzo Cena, Francesco Buscema

“…Results The results show that burnout plays a mediating role between job demands (such as workload and cognitive strain) and resources (such as social support and transformational leadership), influencing variables related to health impairment (such as sleep quality and physical well-being). Furthermore, the findings highlight the direct influence of occupational resources on seafarers’ health. …”

A Comparative Study on Removal of Hazardous Anions from Water by Adsorption: A Review by Yasinta John, Victor Emery David, Daniel Mmereki

“…The surface area of the adsorbents does not contribute to the adsorption capacity of these anions but rather a combination of other physical and chemical properties. The adsorption capacity for the anions depends on the combination of all the factors: pH, ionic strength, coexisting substances, pore volume and particles size, surface modification, pretreatment of the adsorbents, and so forth. …”

The Variance of Energy Estimates for the Product Model by David Smallwood

“…An estimate of the energy (the zero order temporal moment, only in special cases is this physical energy) of the random process, {x(t)}, is defined as m0=∫∞∞|x(t)|2dt=∫−∞∞|w(t)g(t)|2dt Relationships for the mean and variance of the energy estimates, m0, are then developed. …”

Hybrid Energy Storage Control Method for Wave Energy Power Supply System in Comprehensive Observation Buoys by Xu LIU, Zhen CHEN, Zhen LIU, Ming LI

“…This paper focused on energy distribution and power control methods of energy storage systems in wave energy supply and proposed a power distribution and control strategy for hybrid energy storage system based on deep deterministic policy gradient(DDPG), so as to maintain bus stability and leverage the advantages of two energy storage technologies of batteries and supercapacitors. Simulation and physical experiments demonstrate that this strategy greatly reduces peak battery charge/discharge power, keeps bus voltage ripple below 1.6%, and significantly enhances the stability of the wave energy power supply system.…”
