Abstract Background Natural disturbance is a fundamental component of the functioning of tropical rainforests let to natural dynamics, with tree mortality the driving force of forest renewal.With ongoing global (i.e.land-use and climate) changes, tropical forests are currently facing deep and rapid modifications in disturbance regimes that may hamp

Distribution system operators (DSOs) have difficulty in scheduling distributed energy resources owing to the increasing power demand 1042 and penetration of renewable energy.The goal of this study is to determine the charging/discharging of PV energy-integrated energy storage system (PV-ESS), EV charging price, and demand response (DR) incentive va

Introduction: Midwifery practice is involved with clinical judgments which have direct effect on mother;aposs and embryo;aposs health.A midwife should be able to make vital decisions based on her knowledge and skills in emergency situations.A midwife can reach correct decisions by using critical thinking.Materials and Methods: In this cross-section

The response of the polar ionosphere–thermosphere (I-T) system to electromagnetic (EM) energy input is fundamentally different to that from particle precipitation.To understand the I-T response to polar energy input one must know the intensities and spatial distributions of both EM and precipitation energy deposition.Moreover, since individua

Abstract Background Woodlice are recognized as keystone species in terrestrial ecosystems due to their role in the decomposition of organic matter.Thus, they contribute to lignocellulose degradation and nutrient cycling in the environment together with other macroarthropods.Lignocellulose is the main component of plants and is composed of cellulose
