This paper presents the development of a heuristic-based algorithm for a Home Electric Energy Management System (HEEMS).The novelty of the proposal resides in the fact that solutions of the Pareto front, minimizing both the energy consumption and cost, are obtained by a Genetic Algorithm (GA) considering the renewable energy availability as well as
INTRODUCTION: We present the initial experience of a novel surgical chair for laparoscopic pelvic surgery, the ETHOS TM (Bridge City Surgical, Portland, OR).MATERIALS AND METHODS: The ETHOS chair has an adjustable saddle height that ranges from 0.89 to 1.22 m high, an overall width of 0.89 m, PURE FOOD WOM 50+ and a depth of 0.97 m.The open straddl
IntroductionWith the warming global climate, drought stress has become an important abiotic stress factor limiting plant growth and crop yield.As the most rapidly drought-sensing organs of plants, roots undergo a series of changes to enhance their ability to absorb water, but the molecular mechanism is unclear.Results and methodsIn this study, we f
Extant rhinos are the largest extant herbivores exhibiting dietary specialisations for both browse and grass.However, the adaptive value of the wear-induced tooth morphology in rhinos has not been widely studied, and data on individual cusp and tooth positions have rarely been published.We evaluated upper cheek dentition of browsing Diceros bicorni
