This paper presents mathematical models of a photovoltaic (PV) module. Then, the characteristics I-V and P-V are simulated using the software MAPLE for different temperatures and different irradiances in each case : the single diode model with no resistors, with a series resistor, and with both series and parallel resistors. These simulation result...

Economists rarely model the economy as explicitly bound by earth’s ecological systems. Modeling the dynamic interactions of both human and non-human systems is admittedly a challenging task, as it requires expertise from multiple disciplines. Within the last 10 years, a wide variety of research papers have been published that include some biophysic...

BackgroundCRISPR gene drive systems allow the rapid spread of a genetic construct throughout a population. Such systems promise novel strategies for the management of vector-borne diseases and invasive species by suppressing a target population or modifying it with a desired trait. However, current homing-type drives have two potential shortcomings...

Magnetic bearing applications have been going through continuous evolution. Several researchers, in cooperation with specialized companies, have proposed numerous new applications. Among them, not only those related to transportation system but also to the energy conversion area. Nevertheless, due to its particular characteristics, the magnetic bea...

Globally, there has been dedicated research on mangrove ecosystems, however, the modeling of wave-mangrove interaction is seldom considered in the operational wave prediction for vegetated coastlines. This review work apprises on the significant impact of mangroves on surface gravity wave characteristics. Prediction and quantification of wave atten...

A decline in water levels in plains has been caused by reductions in precipitation, restriction of water resources, and ever-increasing demands for groundwater exploitation. This study utilized monthly data on the piezometric level for 5 years (2009–2010 to 2013–2014) derived from 8 piezometers in the Loor-Andimeshk plain aquifer. Using the Thiesse...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the potentials of rutin on 2,5-hexanedione-induced toxicities. Two successive phases were involved using in silico and in vivo approaches. The in silico was adopted for potential oral toxicity and docking. The in vivo was carried-out in two stages for two weeks; the ameliorative (stage 1, first week), preventiv...

Power electronics converter and inverter systems for microgrid operations are always stochastic. When the system is operating in grid-tied mode, the attached load is not constant, so the current which drawn from the DC grid also varies leads to a voltage drop and that causes steady-state error in between the actual and desired output voltage in mic...

Soil erosion caused by climate and land-use changes is one of the biggest environmental challenges in highland Ethiopia. The aim of this study was to assess the future soil erosion risks and evaluate the potential conservation measures in the Rib watershed, northwestern highland Ethiopia. We used the HadGEM2-ES model with a moderate greenhouse gas ...
