In formicine ants, the hair fields associated with the neck and the petiole (alitrunk-petiole and petiole-gaster joints) have long been established to function in graviception. Here, we examine a possible role of these hair receptors in three-dimensional (3-D) path integration of the (formicine) desert ant, Cataglyphis fortis. Cataglyphis judge the ground distance when travelling over hills, al...

The aim of this paper is to address the challenges regarding safety and economics power system operation after integration a high proportion wind power. In response limitations literature, which often fails simultaneously consider both aspects, we propose solution based on stochastic optimization scheduling model. Firstly, uncertainty day-ahead forecasting errors establish multi-scenario By bal...

this study illustrates the process of removal of chromium from chrome tanning waste-water by fly ash which was drive from chrome shaving dust. this experiment was carried out in a batch process with laboratory prepared adsorbent samples and chrome tanning water collected from local tanneries. the influence of various factors likes adsorbent doses, contact time, and initial concentration of chro...

Geopolymers are inorganic aluminosilicate materials, which have been a great research interest as material for sustainable development. However, they possess relatively low toughness properties similar to brittle solids. The limitation may be altered by fiber reinforcement improve their strength and toughness. This describes the synthesis of bamboo shaving (BS) reinforced geopolymer composites ...

Driven by the goals of carbon neutral and peak, coal power units need increased flexibility in peak shaving to accommodate intermittent renewables, especially for a region with large proportion combined heat (CHP) China. In this study, data-mining-based method is proposed revealing utilizing heat–power coupling mechanism CHP units, which can be used solve mentioned issues. Specifically, extract...
