this type of waveform is not used in practice, as a long discharge period is required before a subsequent excitatory pulse, preventing damage to neural tissue. In the case of biphasic waveform stimulation, the anodic phase quickly and accurately balances the charge. In some monophasic stimulation ...
Disadvantageous shift in energy balance is primarily expressed in high-quality sleepers after a decline in quality sleep because of disturbance Epidemiologic studies have shown an inverse or U-shaped relation between sleep duration and body mass index (BMI; in kg/m(2)). Moreover, associations bet...
Energy expenditure and energy intake need to be balanced to maintain proper energy homeostasis. Energy homeostasis is tightly regulated by the central nervous system, and the hypothalamus is the primary center for the regulation of energy balance. The hy
the intermittent nature of renewable energy and the decline in the Energy Availability Factor (EAF) due to aging infrastructure. EAF is the percentage of maximum energy generation that a plant is capable of supplying to the electrical grid, limited only by planned and ...

The aim of this study is to undertake a global state-of-the-art review of the techno-economic and regulatory status of energy storage and power quality services at the distribution level. The review will establish the global trends in electricity markets that have seen high levels of renewable...
“Affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy for all” as an objective for the implementation of the 2030 Agenda. The European Pillar of Social Rights affirms that energy is an essential source which any household should be granted. Hence, energy poverty is a core issue in civil ...
The train is expected to achieve fuel savings of over 40 percent. Compared to traditional internal combustion locomotives, this new energy locomotive can reduce the emissions of nitrogen oxide, hydrocarbon and carbon monoxide by 45, 73 and 83 percent, respectively, according to the company.与传统...
Obesity is caused by a prolonged positive energy balance1,2. Whether reduced energy expenditure stemming from reduced activity levels contributes is debated3,4. Here we show that in both sexes, total energy expenditure (TEE) adjusted for body composition and age declined since the late 1980s, wh...
The similarity to the Ising model is obvious. In ferromagnetic materials, “spin-up” and “spin-down” are reflected by “1” and “-1”, respectively. One could now easily connect “1” to “lattice site occupied by an ion” and “-1” (or “0”) to “lattice site not occupied ...
