Adaptive smooth-switching control strategy for soft open points based on dynamic short-circuit ratio identification

Purpose This paper aims to address stability issues from dynamic short-circuit ratio (SCR) variations caused by high distributed energy penetration. The limitations of soft open points using single control strategies, which are challenged by varying grid strengths, are overcome a...

Objectivity as a shield: Journalistic voice and the strategic use of quotation in Iranian newspapers

This paper identifies and analyses a distinctive journalistic practice in Iranian political news reporting, termed the “projecting voice”. This practice, observed in reports from both conservative ( Kayhan ) and reformist ( Etemaad ) newspapers, involves a near-complete absence o...

Equity in the contemporary oceans governance framework: a stocktake of UNCLOS and its implementing agreements

Abstract Inequity is one of the many challenges ocean governance faces. Equity principles are increasingly receiving attention; for example, the ‘principle of equity and the fair and equitable sharing of benefits’ was included in the Agreement for Biodiversity Beyond National Jur...

Delivering building demand flexibility for grid-interactive operation: from perception and cognition to decision, execution, and verification

As both buildings and power systems undergo rapid decarbonization, demand flexibility (DF) in buildings has emerged as a key enabler for renewable energy integration, grid reliability, energy resilience, and efficient and low carbon operation. By dynamically adjusting building en...

Direct Solar Power‐Driven Durable Ammonia Electrosynthesis From Nitrate Under Fluctuating Voltage Conditions

ABSTRACT Nitrate electroreduction (NO 3 RR) powered by solar energy offers a sustainable platform for ammonia (NH 3 ) synthesis. However, the variability of solar energy, leads to fluctuating voltages and frequent start‐stop of the system, presents significant challenges for cata...

Experimental Investigation on the Impact of Intact Hailstones on Thin Steel Sheets

Abstract This paper first outlines a method for producing water-based artificial hailstones that remain intact upon impact on thin steel sheets at high velocities. The objective is to simulate certain natural hailstones that remain intact after hitting steel roofings at terminal...

Minimal self-sentience

Abstract This article develops the concept of minimal self-sentience to extend the phenomenological notion of minimal self-awareness to non-human animals. Drawing on the phenomenological account of minimal pre-reflective self-awareness (e.g., Zahavi), and on the view that such a...

Telephone versus in-person administration of the Early Childhood Development Index 2030: a crossover study, Brazil, Canada, India and Malawi.

Objective: To examine agreement between telephone and in-person administration of the Early Childhood Development Index 2030 (ECDI2030) survey. Methods: -tests and intraclass correlation coefficients. Findings: : -0.36), regardless of modality. However, pooled and stratified intr...
