Economic Evaluation of Three Available Solutions for Promotion of Wind Power Integration by Hong-Kun Chen, Yan-Juan Yu, Lei Chen, Xin Jiang, Ren-Yan Yu

“…The limited operational flexibility of combined heat and power (CHP) units is the main cause of wind power curtailment in the thermal-electrical power system of Northern China. Pumped hydrostorage (PHS), heat storage (HS), and electric boiler (EB) are investigated as three alternative options for the promotion of wind power integration. …”

Large-scale terminal access algorithm based on slot ALOHA and adaptive access class barring by Zhenyu ZHU, Xiaorong ZHU, Yan CAI, Hongbo ZHU

“…In order to solve the problem of high collision rate and low timeliness of large-scale terminals access in the Internet of things, a large-scale terminal access algorithm based on slot ALOHA and adaptive access class barring (ACB) was proposed.Firstly, the services were classified based on the data from each terminal by the volume of the services processed and the requirements for delay.For the services that were not time-sensitive and whose effective data portion was less than 1 000 bit, a slot-based ALOHA-based competitive access method was used.ACB-based random access was used for the services that were time-sensitive or whose data portion was greater than 1 000 bit.On this basis, a method was proposed for predicting the access application volume based on the quantitative estimation, and dynamically adjusting the ACB control parameters based on this predicted value.Simulation results show that compared with other existing access algorithms, the proposed algorithm reduces the collision rate and improves the system access success rate under the premise of ensuring the high priority service delay requirements.…”

Citrus/Cydonia Comp. Can Restore the Immunological Balance in Seasonal Allergic Rhinitis-Related Immunological Parameters In Vitro by E. W. Baars, H. F. J. Savelkoul

“…It is in vitro capable of neutralizing (to some extent) the changes, characteristic to allergic rhinitis, with regard to the maturation, differentiation, and activity of the immune system. Thus, Citrus/Cydonia comp. can potentially restore the disturbed immune state of rhinitis patients, which essentially could be sufficient to make allergic symptoms disappear permanently.…”

A continuous phenotype space model of RNA virus evolution within a host by Andrei Korobeinikov, Conor Dempsey

“…Due to their very high replication and mutation rates, RNA virusescan serve as an excellent testing model for verifying hypothesis andaddressing questions in evolutionary biology.In this paper, we suggest a simple deterministic mathematical modelof the within-host viral dynamics, where a possibility for random mutations incorporates.This model assumes a continuous distribution of viral strainsin a one-dimensional phenotype space where random mutations aremodelled by Brownian motion (that is, by diffusion).Numerical simulations show that randommutations combined with competition for a resource result in evolutiontowards higher Darwinian fitness: a stable pulse traveling waveof evolution, moving towards higher levels of fitness,is formed in the phenotype space.The advantage of this model, compared with the previously constructedmodels, is that this model is mechanistic and is based on commonlyaccepted model of virus dynamics within a host, and thus it allowsan incorporation of features of the real-life host-virus system such as immuneresponse, antiviral therapy, etc.…”
