Design and modelling of microgrid by Vadlamudi Sai Datta Venkateshwara Rao

“…Microgrids are low voltage networks, designed to deliver energy to relatively smaller areas rather than massive regions. The coordinated control of generation sources with presumably contradictory requirements, limited communication and significantly high transmission losses enforces the adoption of distributed intelligence techniques. …”

Mapping the extent and exploring the drivers of cocoa agroforestry in Nigeria, insights into trends for climate change adaptation by Koralewicz, A, Vlcek, J, Oliveras-Menor, I, Hirons, M, Akinyugha, A, Sikiru Olowoyo, O, Oluyemi, M, Owen, O

“…This research can contribute to improved monitoring of cocoa-driven tree loss and provide important context for policy and program design to enhance climate change adaptation in similar cocoa producing regions.…”

Systematic assessment of COVID-19 host genetics using whole genome sequencing data by Schmidt, A, Casadei, N, Brand, F, Demidov, G, Vojgani, E, Abolhassani, A, Aldisi, R, Butler-Laporte, G, DeCOI host genetics group, Alawathurage, TM, Augustin, M, Bals, R, Bellinghausen, C, Berger, MM, Bitzer, M, Bode, C, Boos, J, Brenner, T, Cornely, OA, Eggermann, T, Erber, J, Feldt, T, Fuchsberger, C, Gagneur, J

“…Burden testing in the largest population subgroup (i.e., Europeans) suggested nominal enrichments of rare variants in coding and non-coding regions of interferon immune response genes in the overall analysis and male subgroup. …”

Investigating factors contributing to enhancer-promoter interaction by Cornell, LJ

“…Enhancer promoter interactions usually occur within topologically associated domains (TADs); large regions (200-2000kb) of interacting chromatin delimited by binding sites for the insulating factor CTCF. …”

Accessing inclusive well-being to leave no one behind by Seth, S, Alkire, S

“…We examine the inclusiveness of multidimensional well-being changes for 75 developing countries across six geographic regions. We observe robust improvements in well-being levels for most countries, but only around three-fifths of these countries overall have positive robust inclusivity premiums, and fewer than one-third in sub-Saharan Africa. …”

Friend request accepted: fundamental features of social environments determine social affiliation decisions by Garud, S

“…Next, in a 7T fMRI study (n=24), I found that the subcortical dorsal raphe nucleus represented density-related effects and the substantia nigra (SN) represented friendliness-related effects. Further, cortical regions like the anterior insula (aI) represented both friend- liness and density related effects. …”

“…RBD pathophysiology is not fully clarified yet, but clinical and basic science suggest that ɑ-syn pathology begins in the lower brainstem where REM atonia circuits are located, including the sublaterodorsal tegmental/subcoeruleus nucleus and the ventral medulla, then propagates rostrally to brain regions such as the substantia nigra, limbic system, cortex. …”

Structure of mushy layers grown from perfectly and imperfectly conducting boundaries. Part 2. Onset of convection by Hitchen, JR, Wells, AJ

“…Scaling arguments characterise variation of the critical Rayleigh number and wavenumber based on the potential energy contained in order-one aspect ratio convective cells over the high-porosity regions. The Stefan number characterises the ratio of latent and sensible heats, and has moderate impact on stability via modification of the background temperature and porosity. …”
