Global warming, driven by carbon emissions mainly from fossil fuels, has caused a 1.07 °C rise in global surface temperature during the 2010s compared with the pre-industrial era1. This warming poses substantial climate challenges to natural systems and human societies2. The 2015 Paris Agreem...
For more than a century, researchers have explored the idea of ocean thermal energy conversion. There's nothing fundamentally new to the idea of extracting power from temperature differences. In fact, the underlying technology is similar to the way coal, gas and geothermalpower plantscreate electri...
An upturn kink of exchange field and coercivity with decreasing temperature was observed from 40K to 20K, which is consistent with the two-dimensional to three-dimensional antiferromagnetic transition at N茅el temperature (~26K). In contrast to the conventional mechanism of magnetization pinned by ...
are designed to provide switching capability under high current conditions, and are used to switch lines/transformers in and out of service. In contrast, disconnect switches (item 5) can open only if the current flow is near zero. Lightningarresters(item 8) prevent voltage spikes from damaging ...
(year 70). We applied this calculation to the spatial temperature fields from each model and then calculated the ensemble mean of the nine models. We considered the ensemble mean as the best estimate of the RTCRE values and represented the uncertainty range using one standard deviation of the ...
Heat from an external combustion source is transmitted to a fluid contained within the tubes in the boiler shell. This fluid is delivered to an end-use at a desired pressure, temperature, and quality. bonding - an electrical conducting path formed by the permanent joining of metallic parts. ...

As temperature and humidity influence electricity demand, especially in warmer periods that increase the heated air temperatures, the effects of weather must be considered in re-training the proposed TCN model and the Monte Carlo dropout and maximum likelihood used in this study is adoptable in quant...
The annual electricity generated yearly by the PV mini-grid was calculated for each settlement using a combination of models20: (1) a model for effective irradiance with hourly solar radiation measured from satellites (combined with temperature and wind speed data from re-analysis); (2) a PV ...
It has been estimated that climate change will stimulate a 25–58% increase global energy demand by mid-century10, but a key caveat is that this result is derived using coarse spatial (national) and temporal (annual) scale measures of both energy and temperature11. By contrast, populations’...
