Deltamethrin (DLM) is a relatively potent and widely used pyrethroid insecticide. Inefficient detoxification has been proposed to be the primary reason for the greater sensitivity of immature rats to the acute neurotoxicity of DLM. The objective of this study was to test this hypothesis by characterizing the age dependence of DLM metabolism in vitro, as well as toxic signs and blood levels of t...

In this paper a new concept for control and performance assessment of compressed air energy storage (CAES) systems in a hybrid energy system is introduced. The proposed criterion, based on the concept of energy harvest index (HEI), measures the capability of a storage system to capture renewable energy. The overall efficiency of the CAES system and optimum control and design from the technical ...

This paper describes design options and comparative results of new compressed air energy storage (CAES) technologies for electric utility applications. Results are based on a CAES technical scoping study for energy storage applications in the California grid. The results show that CAES allows less expensive night-time electric energy to be effectively stored and redelivered to the grid to repla...

Pumped heat electricity storage (PHES) has been recently suggested as a potential solution to the large-scale energy storage problem. PHES requires neither underground caverns as compressed air energy storage (CAES) nor kilometer-sized water reservoirs like pumped hydrostorage and can therefore be constructed anywhere in the world. However, since no large PHES system exists yet, and theoretical...

The interest in energy storage is currently increasing, especially from the perspectives of matching intermittent sources of renewable energy with customer demand and storing excess nuclear or thermal power during the daily cycle. Technologies to be considered for load leveling for large-scale energy systems, typically in the range of hours to days of discharge time, include pumped-storage hydr...

Plitidepsin is a cyclic depsipeptide of marine origin in clinical development in cancer patients. Previously, some depsipeptides have been linked to increased cardiac toxicity. Clinical databases were searched for cardiac adverse events (CAEs) that occurred in clinical trials with the single-agent plitidepsin. Demographic, clinical and pharmacological variables were explored by univariate and m...

The use of photovoltaic (PV) cells in domestic and industrial applications has grown rapidly through the recent years. Constructing PV plants is a very smart measure to produce free electricity in large scales, especially in the countries with higher solar irradiation potential. On the other hand, compressed air energy storage (CAES) has already been proposed to be employed for energy storage a...

The clean Energy router based on advanced adiabatic compressed air energy storage (AA-CAES) has the characteristics of large capacity, high efficiency and zero carbon emission which are an effective mitigation scheme for integration renewables peak-shaving a new technology storing in world. A novel solar-thermal-assisted AA-CAES (ST-AA-CAES) is proposed this paper, integrating variable thermal ...

Abstract Power generation around the world is changing dramatically as a consequence of demand to lower greenhouse gas releases and present mix power supplies. Energy storage technology considered be fundamental address these challenges has great potential. This paper presents current development feasibilities compressed air energy (CAES) provides implications for upcoming advancement. The intr...

The majority of articles on Adiabatic Compressed Air Energy Storage (A-CAES) so far have focussed on the use of indirect-contact heat exchangers and a thermal fluid in which to store the compression heat. While packed beds have been suggested, a detailed analysis of A-CAESwith packed beds is lacking in the available literature. This paper presents such an analysis. We develop a numerical model ...
