Coordinated energy management strategy for multi-energy hub with thermo-electrochemical effect based power-to-ammonia: A multi-agent deep reinforcement learning enabled approach

Xiong, Kang; Hu, Weihao; Cao, Di; Li, Sichen; Zhang, Guozhou; Liu, Wen; Huang, Qi; Chen, Zhe (Elsevier, 2023-09)

Power-to-ammonia (P2A) technology has attracted more and more attention since ammonia is recognized as a natural zero-carbon fuel. In this context, this paper constructs a renewable energy powered multi-energy hub (MEH) ...
Biomechanics of landing in injured and uninjured chickens and the role of meloxicam

van Staaveren, Nienke; Tobalske, Bret W.; Brost, Jacob; Sharma, Rahul; Beaufrère, Hugues; Elias, Audrey; Harlander-Matauschek, Alexandra (Poultry Science Association, 2023-08)

Birds use their legs and wings when transitioning from aerial to ground locomotion during landing. To improve our understanding of the effects of footpad dermatitis (FPD) and keel bone fracture (KBF) upon landing biomechanics ...
Early-life interventions to prevent feather pecking and reduce fearfulness in laying hens

Kliphuis, Saskia; Manet, Maëva W.E.; Goerlich, Vivian C.; Nordquist, Rebecca E.; Vernooij, Hans; Brand, Henry van den; Tuyttens, Frank A.M.; Rodenburg, T. Bas (Poultry Science Association, 2023-08)

Severe feather pecking, the pulling out of feathers of conspecifics, is a major welfare issue in laying hens. Possible underlying causes are fearfulness and lack of foraging opportunities. Because early life is a crucial ...
Spatially-explicit assessment of carbon stocks in the landscape in the southern US under different scenarios of industrial wood pellet demand

Duden, A S; Verweij, P A; Faaij, A P C; Abt, R C; Junginger, M; van der Hilst, F (Academic Press Inc., 2023-09-15)

Whether the use of industrial wood pellets for bioenergy is part of the problem of climate change or part of the solution to climate change has been heavily debated in the academic and political arena. The uncertainty ...
Blood-brain barrier perturbations by uremic toxins: key contributors in chronic kidney disease-induced neurological disorders?

Faucher, Quentin; van der Made, Thomas K; De Lange, Elizabeth; Masereeuw, Rosalinde (Elsevier, 2023-08-01)

Chronic kidney disease is multifactorial and estimated to affect more than 840 million people worldwide constituting a major global health crisis. The number of patients will continue to rise mostly because of the aging ...
Effects of high pressure and temperature conditions on the chemical fate of flowback water related chemicals

Faber, Ann-Hélène; Brunner, Andrea M; Schimmel, Mariska; Schot, Paul P; de Voogt, Pim; van Wezel, Annemarie (Elsevier bedrijfsinformatie b.v., 2023-08-25)

Environmental risk assessment is generally based on atmospheric conditions for the modelling of chemical fate after entering the environment. However, during hydraulic fracturing, chemicals may be released deep underground. ...
Childhood lower respiratory tract infections linked to residential airborne bacterial and fungal microbiota

Fakunle, Adekunle G; Jafta, Nkosana; Bossers, Alex; Wouters, Inge M; Kersen, Warner van; Naidoo, Rajen N; Smit, Lidwien A M (Academic Press Inc., 2023-08-15)

Residential microbial composition likely contributes to the development of lower respiratory tract infections (LRTI) among children, but the association is poorly understood. We aimed to study the relationship between the ...
Analyzing mechanisms of action of antimicrobial peptides on bacterial membranes requires multiple complimentary assays and different bacterial strains

Wang, Xiaoqi; van Beekveld, Roy A M; Xu, Yang; Parmar, Anish; Das, Sanjit; Singh, Ishwar; Breukink, Eefjan (Elsevier, 2023-08)

Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) commonly target bacterial membranes and show broad-spectrum activity against microorganisms. In this research we used three AMPs (nisin, epilancin 15×, [R4L10]-teixobactin) and tested their ...
Tell me what you want, what you really really want: Estimands in observational pharmacoepidemiologic comparative effectiveness and safety studies

Luijken, Kim; van Eekelen, Rik; Gardarsdottir, Helga; Groenwold, Rolf H H; van Geloven, Nan (John Wiley and Sons Ltd, 2023-08)

PURPOSE: Ideally, the objectives of a pharmacoepidemiologic comparative effectiveness or safety study should dictate its design and data analysis. This paper discusses how defining an estimand is instrumental to this ...
Preference change in stakeholder group-decision processes in the public sector: Extent, causes and implications

Kuller, M.; Beutler, P.; Lienert, J. (Elsevier, 2023-08-01)

Public decisions are typically related to large investments leaving long legacies. We should therefore strive for wide societal agreement regarding such decisions, which meet the diversity of preferences between stakeholders ...
Multivariate Small Area Estimation of Social Indicators: the Case of Continuous and Binary Variables

Moretti, Angelo (SAGE Publications Ltd, 2023-08)

Large-scale sample surveys are not designed to produce reliable estimates for small areas. Here, small area estimation methods can be applied to estimate population parameters of target variables to detailed geographic ...
Evaluating Recommender Systems: Survey and Framework

Zangerle, Eva; Bauer, Christine (Association for Computing Machinery (ACM), 2022-12-23)

The comprehensive evaluation of the performance of a recommender system is a complex endeavor: many facets need to be considered in configuring an adequate and effective evaluation setting. Such facets include, for instance, ...
Cooling curves for neutron stars with hadronic matter and quark matter

Yin, S.; van Heugten, J. J. R. M.; Diederix, J.M.; Kater, M.; Vink, J.; Stoof, H.T.C. (American Physical Society, 2011)

The thermal evolution of isothermal neutron stars is studied with matter both in the hadronic phase as well as in the mixed phase of hadronic matter and strange quark matter. In our models, the dominant early-stage cooling ...
