Classic Russet is an earlyto mid-season russet potato variety that produces a high proportion of U.S. No. 1 tubers. Storage characteristics of Classic Russet potatoes—A95109-1—were studied for 3 storage years—2003-’04 to 2006-’07—at the University of Idaho Kimberly Research and Extension Center Potato Storage Research Facility. Study results are detailed in this publication along with storage m...

We develop a game theoretic model for shared natural gas storage facilities. We analyse the effects of strategic interaction, given that deliverability is a function of overall pressure within the store, on the expected value of the storage facility in equilibrium. Our results have significant implications for the economic efficiency of storage facilities, price stability in the gas market and ...

Grid-connected battery energy storage systems with fast acting control are a key technology for improving power network stability and increasing the penetration of renewable generation. This paper describes two battery energy storage research facilities connected to the UK electricity grid. Their performance is detailed, along with hardware results, and a number of grid support services are dem...

This paper may be of particular interest to the readers as it provides a new environmental risk assessment system for phosphogypsum tailing dams. In this paper, we studied the phosphogypsum tailing dams which include characteristics of the pollution source, environmental risk characteristics and evaluation requirements to identify the applicable environmental risk assessment methods. Two analyt...

E-tailing websites are often perceived to be static, impersonal and distant. However, with the movement of the World Wide Web to Web 2.0 in recent years, these online websites have been found to display personalities akin to ‘humanistic’ qualities and project impressions much like its retailing counterpart i.e. salespeople. This paper examines the personality of e-tailing websites and their imp...

First, concentrating on the seasonal (s = 52) lags, the ACF shows a strong peak at h = 1s and lesser, but still statistically significant peaks at h = 3s , 4s, 5s, and 7s. The PACF shows statistically significant peaks at only h = 1s. It appears that: • the ACF is cutting off after lag 1s and the PACF is tailing off in the seasonal lags • the ACF is cutting off after lags 3s, 4s, 5s, or 7s, and...

Electricity cannot yet be stored on a large scale, but technological advances leading to cheaper and more efficient industrial batteries make grid-level storage of electricity surpluses a natural choice. Because electricity prices can be negative, it is unclear how the presence of negative prices might affect the storage policy structure known to be optimal when prices are only non-negative, or...
