Monte Carlo Simulation of Linear Polymer Thermal Depolymerization under Isothermal and Dynamic Modes by Elena V. Bystritskaya, Oleg N. Karpukhin, Alla V. Kutsenova

“…Treatment of the model kinetic curves of degradation using the nonlinear regression method by the Avrami equation, under both isothermal and dynamic modes, gives correct activation energy and pre-exponential factor values independently of the initial PDI. Data obtained in the dynamic mode were also treated by two isoconversion methods, widely applied to kinetic analysis of TGA curves (Flynn-Wall-Ozawa method and Kissinger-Akahira-Sunose (KAS) method).…”

Enhancing 7 MW solar power plant performance in Thailand: Power management via energy time shift and voltage range control mode by Chattariya Sirisamphanwong, Karthikeyan Velmurugan, Narathip Manakul, Phairot Phanukan, Sirinuch Chindaruksa, Buntoon Wiengmoon, Kongrit Mansiri, Rattaporn Ngoenmeesri, Maruphong Konyu, Chatchai Sirisamphanwong

“…In this study, to maintain the grid voltage within an allowable range, a fixed lagging 0.975 PF reactive power control without a Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) and energy time shift and voltage range control mode using BESS are performed independently. It was found that the reactive power control method effectively maintained the grid voltage within the allowable range, although it reduced the energy generation by 5670.8 MWh and 4505.8 MWh compared to the other two modes. …”

Genetically Engineered Islets and Alternative Sources of Insulin-Producing Cells for Treating Autoimmune Diabetes: Quo Vadis? by Feng-Cheng Chou, Shing-Hwa Huang, Huey-Kang Sytwu

“…Islet transplantation is a promising therapy for patients with type 1 diabetes that can provide moment-to-moment metabolic control of glucose and allow them to achieve insulin independence. However, two major problems need to be overcome: (1) detrimental immune responses, including inflammation induced by the islet isolation/transplantation procedure, recurrence autoimmunity, and allorejection, can cause graft loss and (2) inadequate numbers of organ donors. …”
