Equalities in education outcomes in Korea, Sweden and Norway by Goh, HC

“…Reading for change (OECD, 2002) has also shown similar results: in Korea, the range of scores from the 90" to the 10" percentile on the combined reading scale is around 175 points, just under two and a half proficiency levels; in Sweden the range of scores is around 240 points; in Norway the range of scores is around 270 points.…”

Measurement of mass attenuation coefficient of paraffin wax by using low energy x-ray by Daud, Nurul Shazliana Mohamad

“…This study explores the mass attenuation coefficient properties of paraffin wax at kilovoltage x-ray energies and compares these properties with those of solid water phantom, water, and Perspex, which are commonly used to mimic human tissue. Using the Half-Value Layer (HVL) method, we determined the effective energies for 60, 81, and 125 kVp, finding values of 35.22, 37.57, and 41.20 keV, respectively. …”

Fear of childbirth among pregnant mothers at Hospital USM, Kelantan by Yi, Ong Yi

“…Pearson's chi-square test showed statistical significance in the age group with FOC (p = 0.044), while Fisher's test revealed that FOC interference was significantly associated with age (p = 0.008) and parity (p = 0.019). Almost half of the birthing mothers were found to be moderate to severe FOC, respectively, and associated with age. …”

Non-invertible Condensation, Duality, and Triality Defects in 3+1 Dimensions by Choi, Yichul, Córdova, Clay, Hsin, Po-Shen, Lam, Ho T., Shao, Shu-Heng

“…These include condensation defects from higher gauging of the one-form symmetries on a codimension-one manifold, each labeled by a discrete torsion class, and duality and triality defects from gauging in half of spacetime. The universal fusion rules between these non-invertible topological defects and the one-form symmetry surface defects are determined. …”

Stability of internal gravity wave modes: from triad resonance to broadband instability by Akylas, T.R., Kakoutas, Christos

“…For short-scale perturbations such that 𝜇 ≪ 1 but 𝛼 = 𝜇/𝜖 ≫ 1, this triad resonance instability reduces to the familiar parametric subharmonic instability (PSI), where triads comprise fine-scale perturbations with half the basic-wave frequency. However, as 𝜇 is further decreased holding 𝜖 fixed, higher-frequency perturbations than these two subharmonics come into play, and when 𝛼 = 𝑂(1) Floquet modes feature broadband spectrum. …”

The Expansion of Incentive (Performance-Based) Regulation of Electricity Distribution and Transmission in the United States by Joskow, Paul L.

“…The new obligations are a consequence primarily of aggressive targets for decarbonizing the electricity sector in nearly half the states and the goal of using “clean” electricity to electrify transportation, buildings, and other sectors. …”

Deep Water Subsea Energy Storage, Lessons Learned from the Offshore Oil and Gas Industry by Juhlin, Rasmus, Slocum, Alexander H., Assadi, Mohsen

“…This paper introduces a robust methodological framework for calculating the costs of concrete SPHS tanks, factoring in longevity and best installation practices for structures designed to endure for half a century. The results indicate that with an optimized design, the cost of an SPSH concrete storage tank is approximately $0.15/Wh. …”

Impedance-sum stability criterion for power electronic systems with two converters/sources by Zhong, Qing-Chang, Zhang, Xin

“…In this paper, it is shown at first that in order for a converter/source to be stable both the impedance and its inverse should be stable, that is, the impedance should not have any right-half-plane (RHP) zeros or RHP poles. Then, it is shown that a system with two individually stable converters/sources is stable if and only if the sum of the individual impedances does not have any RHP zeros or, equivalently, the impedance sum does not encircle the origin clockwise. …”
