The soft normally-open point (SNOP) is a multi-terminal power electronic device installed between two or more feeders in the low and medium voltage distribution network, which can adjust the active power LIQUID IRON and reactive power between the feeders.A small-signal model of SNOP connected to the distribution network is established.The model inc
Bush encroachment is a habitat change phenomenon that threatens savanna and grassland ecosystems worldwide.In Africa, large carnivores in bush encroached landscapes must adjust to increasing woody plant cover and biomass, which could affect predation success at multiple stages through complex and context-dependent pathways.We highlight, interpret,
A phase change material (PCM) is an energy storage mass with high heat storage performance.In buildings, PCMs can be utilized to save energy in radiant floor heating systems.This study aims to analyze the thermal performance and energy saving potential by the PCM radiant floor heating system based on wet construction method and hot water.For such a
A new species, Medinilla theresae Fernando, from ultramafic soils on Dinagat and Mindanao Islands, Philippines is described and illustrated.The species is characterized by its terrestrial Plug erect habit, non-setose nodes, 3-plinerved, lanceolate and coriaceous leaves arranged in whorls, cauline or axillary and pendulous inflorescences, rounded fl
