Modeling the Operation of Small‐Scale Integrated Energy Systems Based on Data‐Driven Robust Optimization

To facilitate energy system integration, it is imperative that a multienergy system produce and deliver in a coordinated way the energy in its different component forms. In particular, a small‐scale integrated energy system must accommodate renewable energy resources, flexible loads, and energy coupling technologies, which creates new challenges to the interactions between the energy vectors. Hence, an energy management model for a microenergy system in grid‐connected mode under uncertainties is proposed to perform the decision‐making for shifting energy modes for all energy sources and end‐use applications with the aim of optimally scheduling controllable energy resources in the system and minimizing the net management cost under uncertainty. To address the stochastic nature of the price of electricity, a data‐driven robust optimization approach is introduced. It uses the available sample data to design the appropriate uncertainty set using statistical hypothesis tests, and a combination of conditional value‐at‐risk and a worst‐case optimization problem is used to formulate the energy management problem under uncertainty. We explore a computationally tractable robust counterpart of the original optimization problem. The optimal energy scheduling solution obtained from the proposed approach is immune against any worst‐case realizations. Numerical results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach and its performance of less conservation. © 2019 Institute of Electrical Engineers of Japan.

Bioanalytical Studies of the Assessment of Vitamin D Status

The most widely used and clinically accepted biochemical marker for assessing vitamin D status is the total serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25-OHD) concentration. In highthroughput clinical diagnostic laboratories, there is a trend towards the use of fullyautomated clinical analysers for such assays. This means that immunoassays are commonly used, despite significant inter-assay variability due to varying concentrations of other related vitamin D metabolites and sample-to-sample matrix differences. It is important for clinicians requesting 25-OHD analyses to understand these issues and limitations, and where necessary to confront laboratories for details of analytical methods used. The availability of reference measurement procedures for 25-OHD based on liquid chromatography and tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS), whilst not intended for routine clinical sample analysis, should be utilised to improve assay harmonisation and reduce interlaboratory variability. The development of higher-throughput, semi-automated LC-MS/MS methods for routine application is also increasing due to recognition of the pitfalls of immunoassay-based methods for 25OHD analysis, as well as the opportunity to individually measure multiple vitamin D metabolites. This thesis will discuss the reasons for ongoing 25-OHD assay variability, but will also discuss the novel application of LC-MS/MS to larger molecules related to the assessment vitamin D status. These include the analysis of parathyroid hormone (PTH) and PTH variants, and the three major isoforms of vitamin D binding protein.
THE JOINT EFFECT OF ORGANIZATIONAL STRATEGY, ORGANIZATIONAL CULTURE AND EXTERNAL ENVIRONMENT ON ORGANIZATIONAL PERFORMANCE OF LARGE PRIVATE HEALTH FACILITIES IN KENYA

The goal of this study was to determine the joint effect of organizational strategy, organizational culture and external environment on organizational performance, using data from Sixty-one large private health facilities in Kenya. A descriptive cross-sectional design grounded on positivism research philosophy was used. Multiple linear regression analyses were employed to analyze the data. Generally, the results revealed that the joint effect of organizational strategy, culture and external environment on performance dimensions, which include efficiency, effectiveness, relevance and financial viability was statistically significant. Consequently, it was concluded that organizational culture and strategy are not separated from the external environment in which they are embedded. It was recommended that in order to maximize on performance, the private health facilities must establish an optimal balance among the three factors.
Capturing volumetric dynamics at high speed in the brain by confocal light field microscopy

Neural network performs complex computations through coordinating collective neural dynamics that are fast and in three-dimensions. Meanwhile, its proper function relies on its 3D supporting environment, including the highly dynamic vascular system that drives energy and material flow. Better understanding of these processes requires methods to capture fast volumetric dynamics in thick tissue. This becomes challenging due to the trade-off between speed and optical sectioning capability in conventional imaging techniques. Here we present a new imaging method, confocal light field microscopy, to enable fast volumetric imaging deep into brain. We demonstrated the power of this method by recording whole brain calcium transients in freely swimming larval zebrafish and observed behaviorally correlated activities on single neurons during its prey capture. Furthermore, we captured neural activities and circulating blood cells over a volume ⌀ 800 μm × 150 μm at 70 Hz and up to 600 μm deep in the mice brain.

Comparison of document similarity measurements in scientific writing using Jaro-Winkler Distance method and Paragraph Vector method

The purpose of this research is to study the methods of measuring the similarity of documents and tell us which is the most suitable for Indonesian Scientific Writing. This research method used was Jaro-Winkler Distance as method. Jaro-Winkler is a method that calculates the distance between strings and then measures the similarity. Doc2Vec (Paragraph Vector) is a method that aims to represent documents in vector form for comparison with the machine learning process. The results of this study compare the results of plagiarism detection between the Jaro-Winkler Distance method and the Doc2Vec method. The best measurement comparison method used is the accuracy of the comparison of documents and their speed. Using the dataset created, Doc2Vec outperformed the Jaro-Winkler Distance algorithm in comparing document similarities. Therefore, the development of a document similarity method will be easier in the future by using Doc2Vec (Paragraph Vector) in Indonesian scientific works.
A calibration function from change points using linear mixed models

The change point problem is an interesting topic in both cross-sectional and longitudinal settings. In the cross-sectional scenario, the change point problem has been studied extensively. In longitudinal settings, authors usually suggest fitting linear mixed models but to find the change points in this scenario is not an easy task. In this way, identifying change points in linear mixed models (LMMs) is an open problem that has been studied by few authors. Recent contributions on this topic were done by \citeasnoun{lai2014}. However, to the best of our knowledge, there is neither proposal in which change points had been obtained for each subject nor about a calibration function fitted from these change points. The purpose of this proposal is to develop a solution to the change points problem under a linear mixed model when several covariates are considered into the model. If we obtain the change point for each subject under a longitudinal setting, this yields a change function instead of a single change point. We fit a calibration function that allows predicting the change point given some referenced values of time-independent variables or fixed effects. The solution is given by considering a linear mixed model (LMM) under the assumption that this model has a continuous change point for each subject, that is, a broken-stick model (profile) is associated with each subject in the data set. We considered both a parametric and a Bayesian approach, standard linear mixed models assumptions, and a first order autoregressive ($AR(1)$) covariance structure on the random errors. We found that there is not a close or analytical expression to obtain the change point for linear mixed models; this is why we suggest an adapted methodology to estimate subject-specific change points from linear mixed models. We show the results of both a parametric approach of the calibration function from change points, and some asymptotic properties of the calibration function parameters. %by executing a simulation study and formalize the results through a theorem. Additionally, we show the results of a Bayesian approach of the calibration function through a simulation study, by considering classical prior distributions of the parameters and random effects of the linear mixed model. Also, we illustrate this proposal in a practical situation with real data about dried Cypress wood slats \cite{botero1993}, and we compare the results obtained in the parametric case with the ones obtained by using the Bayesian approach. All algorithms and calculations were implemented by means of paralleling programmed routines in the statistical software R (team2014R) on advanced computational clusters, and high-performance computers. This proposal is useful because predicting a time in which the model changes is so important in productive processes, so that this prediction allows to avoid some additional drawbacks, and for example, it could help to decrease the storage expenses.
Structure of the Glutamate-Like Receptor GLR3.2 ligand-binding domain

Glutamate-like receptors (GLRs) in plants play an important role in a number of physiological processes, including wound response, stomatal aperture control, seed germination, root development, innate immune responses, pollen tube growth and morphogenesis. GLRs share amino acid sequence similarity with ionotropic glutamate receptors (iGluRs) that mediate neurotransmission in the nervous system of vertebrates. In contrast to iGluRs, however, for which numerous full-length structures are available, the structural information about the plant GLRs has been missing. Here we determine crystal structures of Arabidopsis thaliana GLR3.2 ligand-binding domain (LBD) in complex with glycine and methionine to 1.57 and 1.86 Å resolution, respectively. Our structures show a fold similar to iGluRs, with several secondary structure elements either missing or different. The closed clamshell conformation of GLR3.2 LBD suggests that both glycine and methionine act as agonists. The structures reveal molecular determinants of ligand binding and explain the promiscuity of GLRs’ ligand activation compared to iGluRs. Structural similarities of LBDs confirm an evolutionary relationship between GLRs and iGluRs and predict common molecular principles of their gating mechanisms that are driven by the bilobed clamshell-like LBDs.
Graphitic‐Shell Encapsulation of Metal Electrocatalysts for Oxygen Evolution, Oxygen Reduction, and Hydrogen Evolution in Alkaline Solution

Developing highly efficient, cost effective, and environmentally friendly electrocatalysts for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER), oxygen reduction reaction (ORR), and hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) is of interest for sustainable and clean energy technologies, including metal–air batteries and fuel cells. In this work, the screening of electrocatalytic activities of a series of single metallic iron, cobalt, and nickel nanoparticles and their binary and ternary alloys encapsulated in a graphitic carbon shell toward the OER, ORR, and HER in alkaline media is reported. Synthesis of these compounds proceeds by a two‐step sol–gel and carbothermal reduction procedure. Various ex situ characterizations show that with harsh electrochemical activation, the graphitic shell undergoes an electrochemical exfoliation. The modified electronic properties of the remaining graphene layers prevent their exfoliation, protect the bulk of the metallic cores, and participate in the electrocatalysis. The amount of near‐surface, higher‐oxidation‐state metals in the as‐prepared samples increases with electrochemical cycling, indicating that some metallic nanoparticles are not adequately encased within the graphite shell. Such surface oxide species provide secondary active sites for the electrocatalytic activities. The Ni–Fe binary system gives the most promising results for the OER, and the Co–Fe binary system shows the most promise for the ORR and HER.
Exploring the consequences of knowledge hiding: an agency theory perspective

The purpose of the study is to explore empirically the consequences of knowledge hiding at the individual level and from the knowledge hiding committers' perspective. Hence, in line with agency theory and prior literature on knowledge hiding, the study investigates the associations between different facets of knowledge hiding and individual-level job performance, as well as the mediating role of employee well-being in the associations. ,Structural equation modeling was used to analyze multisource survey data from a sample of 214 employees and 34 immediate supervisors, in a professional services company in Finland. ,Evasive hiding was found to be negatively associated with in-role job performance and positively associated with innovative job performance. Playing dumb was found to be positively associated with in-role job performance. Finally, even though the association between rationalized hiding and innovative job performance was found to be positive, it was found to be of a smaller magnitude when employee well-being was taken into account. ,Forceful unhealthy competition and exploitative and workaholic cultures are discussed to reduce knowledge hiding behavior among employees and their negative consequences. ,The study highlights the paradox of managing organizational knowledge. In line with agency theory, we advocate that while knowledge sharing is one of the major assets of organizational welfare from the organizational perspective, it may resonate with the employee's perspective. Consequently, unless employees' self-interest and organizational interests are aligned, the paradox of managing organizational knowledge arises, and the classic agency problem occurs.
A Method of Generating Radiation Nulls Utilizing Inherent Resonance Modes for Dual-Polarized Filtering Dipole Antenna Design

This communication proposes a method of generating radiation nulls for designing wideband dual-polarized filtering dipole antenna with simple structure. The proposed antenna consists of a pair of crossed dipole radiators, a ground plane, and a balun. Different from the previously proposed methods, the filtering performance of the proposed antenna is achieved by fully exciting the out-of-band resonance modes of the balun and radiator. The proposed dual-polarized filtering antenna has a very simple structure without any extra circuit and nearly has no radiation performance degradation. One radiation null and two other ones are generated at the lower and higher edges of the passband to achieve good frequency selectivity, respectively. The proposed antenna has high efficiency of about 90% inside the operating bandwidth of 1.7–2.8 GHz and out-of-band gain suppression of more than 20 dB.

Therapy Response Evaluation With Fdg-Pet/Ct In Thoracic Malignancies

Positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) is a metabolic imaging method that enables quantitative measurements. This diagnostic method has been used for the evaluation of oncologic patients for many years. Because of the limitations of sectional radiological diagnostic methods during therapy response assessment after chemotherapy or radiotherapy, the use of PET/CT for this indication has increased in the last years. Particularly, early therapy response evaluation has gained special attention after the increased use of neoadjuvant therapies. In this review, we aimed to evaluate the role of PET/CT in the evaluation of therapy response in thoracic malignancies, particularly in lung and esophageal cancers, in light of the recent literature.
The complete mitochondrial genome of Parnassius mercurius Grum-Grshimailo (Lepidoptera: Papilionidae: Parnassiinae)

Abstract The mitogenome of Parnassius mercurius Grum-Grshimailo is determined to be 15,372 bp in length, including 37 typical insect mitochondrial genes and an AT-rich region. All PCGs start with ATN, except for COI with CGA; 12 of 13 PCGs harbour the common stop codon TAA or TAG, whereas COII end with a single T. The lrRNA and srRNA genes are 1344 bp and 775 bp in length, respectively. The AT-rich region contains several features characteristic of the lepidopterans. Phylogenetic analysis shows that P. mercurius is the closest relative of P. epaphus and P. nomion lineage, rather than the P. jacquemontii.
Projected changes in extreme warm and cold temperatures in China from 1.5 to 5°C global warming

Linking regional extreme temperature changes to global warming levels is important for understanding the impacts of global emission targets on regional climate. Here, we investigate how the temperature extremes in China change with different global warming levels using large ensemble runs from Canadian Earth System Model version 2. With the global mean near‐surface temperature increasing from 1.5 to 5°C above the preindustrial level, the absolute intensity of the warmest and coldest temperatures in China will change linearly, while the percentile‐based frequency of warm and cold temperatures will change nonlinearly. All the changes in the intensity and the frequency show clear regional differences, with the most obvious changes observed in northeastern China. The probability distribution functions (PDFs) for the intensity indices show clear shifts but with little change in shape, while the PDFs for the frequency indices show changes in both position and shape. Quantified analyses of risk ratio show that the risk changes in the frequency of temperature extremes will be larger than those for the intensity indices. The changes in the nighttime extremes are faster than those in the daytime extremes. The rarer the event is, the larger the change in the risk ratio. At the 2°C warming level, the cold days and nights with return periods of 5, 10, and 50 years in the current climate will become almost disappeared. At the 3°C level and beyond, the once‐in‐5‐year, 10‐year and 50‐year warm events in the current climate will occur every year.
