A Dynamic Modeling Approach: Simplifying DFIG Theory, Simulation, and Analysis by Mehmet Dal, Ralph M. Kennel

“…The stand-alone model consists of a hybrid modeling approach and more closely resembles the real structure of a stand-alone DFIG system. The modeling technique used for the stand-alone DFIG provides a practical, non-mathematical way to solve the challenge of defining the dynamic equation of the stator voltage when different sizes and types of loads are connected to the stator. …”

“Loneliness is a sad disease”: oldest old adults’ empirical definition of loneliness and social isolation from a mixed-method study in Northern Italy by Sara Santini, Mauro Colombo, Antonio Guaita, Paolo Fabbietti, Georgia Casanova

“…Methods Between January and March 2019, 132 older people, most aged 80+, living in a northern Italian town, were asked to answer a questionnaire and a semi-structured interview. According to a mixed-method analysis the definitions of loneliness and social isolation were analysed by respondents’ gender, living arrangement (e.g., living alone or with partners or other people), and years of education to find possible associations to the meanings attributed to the two concepts. …”

On the nature of picobirnaviruses by A. Yu. Kashnikov, N. V. Epifanova, N. A. Novikova

“…The data presented in the review show that the belonging of PBV­like progeny to prokaryotic or eukaryotic viruses is determined not only by its genome saturation level with a prokaryotic motif, standard or mitochondrial genetic code. The primary structure of the gene encoding the viral capsid protein responsible for the presence or absence of specific proteolytic properties of the virus that determine its ability for independent horizontal transmission into new cells may also be a decisive factor.…”

Improved Estimation of Aboveground Biomass in Rubber Plantations Using Deep Learning on UAV Multispectral Imagery by Hongjian Tan, Weili Kou, Weiheng Xu, Leiguang Wang, Huan Wang, Ning Lu

“…Multispectral sensors mounted on unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) can obtain high spatiotemporal resolution imagery of rubber plantations, offering significant advantages in capturing fine structural details and heterogeneity. However, most previous studies primarily focused on developing biomass estimation models for rubber using machine learning (ML) algorithms in conjunction with feature selection methods based on UAV-acquired multispectral imagery. …”

Improving remote sensing dehazing quality through local hybrid correction and optimization of atmospheric attenuation model based on wavelength by Daihong Zhao, Kun Shi, Zheng Li, Zheng Li, Meixiang Chen

“…The quantitative analysis of the dehazed images, using gray-level co-occurrence matrix (GLCM) metrics, indicated that the LHC method offered a balanced advantage in enhancing image details, texture consistency, and structural complexity. Specifically, images processed by LHC exhibit moderate contrast and correlation, low homogeneity and high entropy, all these made the LHC method a very suitable solution for near-ground remote sensing tasks that required enhanced image detail and reduced artifacts. …”
