description: Background: While considerable progress is being made to understand the health and self-management needs of youth with mental health disorders, little attention has focused on the mental health and recovery needs that the youth themselves identify—this despite a national priority to incorporate patient-oriented research into the development and assessment of mental health services. To address this gap, estimates of the extent to which existing patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs)—originally developed for use amongst adult populations—are clinically meaningful and psychometrically fit for use among youth are needed. In tandem, a recovery profile for youth can be constructed incorporating the youth perspective of the services provided within a community mental health setting. Methods/design: This study will utilize a mixed methods design incorporating qualitative focus group interviews and cross-sectional survey. Our process will begin with the hiring of a youth peer research partner who will provide lived experience expertise through all phases of the study. We will advertise, recruit, and conduct four focus groups with youth who receive services from the Foundry Vancouver Granville located in British Columbia, Canada. In the first two focus groups, we will recruit youth aged 15–18 years (n = 10). In the second two focus groups, we will recruit young adults aged 19–24 years (n = 10). In parallel, we will conduct a cross-sectional survey of the recovery and mental health needs of youth, informed by ten widely used and validated PROM. Thematic analysis techniques will guide the identification of predominant thematic trends in the qualitative focus group data. We will use Classical and Rasch measurement methods to test and analyze the reliability and validity of selected PROM measures for youth populations. Discussion: The proposed study has the potential to produce a preliminary conceptual and measurement model for understanding the mental health and recovery needs of youth with mental health disorders. This evidence will inform how youth mental health services can grow, support, and sustain the capacity for a collaborative, interdisciplinary and innovative patient-oriented research environment. Findings will also contribute much needed evidence to improve the standard of care for youth who experience mental health disorders in Canada and beyond.

Takacs' asymptotic theorem and its applications: a survey
Creators: name: Abramov, Vyacheslav M.
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: The book of Lajos Takacs Combinatorial Methods in the Theory of Stochastic Processes has been published in 1967. It discusses various problems associated with Pk,i=P{sup1≤n≤ρ(i) (N n-n)0, and ρ(i) is the smallest n such that N n =n−i, i≥1. (If there is no such n, then ρ(i)=∞.) Equation (*) is a discrete generalization of the classic ruin probability, and its value is represented as P k,i =Q k−i /Q k , where the sequence {Q k } k≥0 satisfies the recurrence relation of convolution type: Q 0≠0 and Q k =∑ j=0 k π j Q k−j+1. Since 1967 there have been many papers related to applications of the generalized classic ruin probability. The present survey is concerned only with one of the areas of application associated with asymptotic behavior of Q k as k→∞. The theorem on asymptotic behavior of Q k as k→∞ and further properties of that limiting sequence are given on pp. 22–23 of the aforementioned book by Takacs. In the present survey we discuss applications of Takacs’ asymptotic theorem and other related results in queueing theory, telecommunication systems and dams. Many of the results presented in this survey have appeared recently, and some of them are new. In addition, further applications of Takacs' theorem are discussed.

The STRENGTH Project Community Report on Outreach Activities
Creators: name: Team, The STRENGTH
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2019

description: The STRENGTH PROJECT is a 3-year, community-based pilot research project exploring women-led, trauma- and- violenceinformed outreach with women in the Downtown Eastside neighbourhood in Vancouver, BC. The goal is to reduce barriers in accessing support services among women affected by violence by building lasting relationships that promote autonomy and enhance overall quality of life. The project is led by a team of researchers, service leaders/staff and experiential experts (i.e., women affected by violence), and builds on current services’ capacities to learn if and how integrating a women-led and trauma-and-violence informed approach to outreach facilitates women’s connections with services and improves service coordination. Many women experience limited access to services necessary to prevent interpersonal and systemic violence and reduce its harmful effects. Barriers include isolation, control by partners, knowledge gaps about services, and negative encounters in support service settings. This project explores outreach activities to build lasting relationships between outreach workers and women to enhance quality of life and overall well-being.

description: Exclusive breastfeeding until the age of six months is the recommended feeding method for all infants. However, this is not possible for every infant. Therefore, a second choice of feeding, as close as possible to the gold standard, is needed. For historical reasons, this has been cow’s-milk-based feeding. This paper discusses if this second-choice feeding method should contain intact protein or partially hydrolyzed proteins. The limited data available indicates that mother’s milk is relatively rich in bioactive peptides. Whether partially hydrolyzed protein might be a protein source closer to human milk protein content than intact cow’s milk needs further research. However, more research on protein and bioactive peptides in mother’s milk should be a priority for future scientific development in this field. Results of such research will also provide an answer to the question of which option would be the best second choice for infant feeding if sufficient breast milk is not available.

Restructuring, gender and employment: A geography of regional change and community adjustment in Cornwall, Ontario.
Creators: name: McKenna, Megan K. L.
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 1996
Subjects: subject: Geography.

description: For the past two decades, uneven development in general and the changing structure of the labour market in particular, have figured prominently in Canadian economic, social and political agendas. Indeed, one of the most dramatic trends in Canadian society has been the growth of labour force participation by women--this despite a seemingly unstable economic picture. While numerous studies exploring the national dimensions of a feminised work force have provided insight into the complex nature of female paid employment, less work has been done on the uneven, regional nature of restructuring and processes contributing to gendered employment patterns. Through a comparative spatial analysis of employment and occupational trends and regional functional specialisation, this research shows that: (a) regional space-economies exercise an important influence on the creation and reproduction of gendered divisions of labour, and; (b) integrative studies connecting 'global processes' to 'local experience' offer unique insight into the restructuring experience. In examining these themes, Cornwall in Eastern Ontario is used as an example of an 'old order' manufacturing centre undergoing profound industrial and community restructuring. Research focuses on the time period between 1986 (a time of relative prosperity) and 1991 (a recessionary time, immediately following the implementation of the Free Trade Agreement with the United States). Central to this study is the notion that including gender as a 'necessary' analytical category in deconstructing the social relations of production will help inform more comprehensive explanations of regional economic and social change. The design and implementation of the research programme follows the feminist principles of reflexivity, responsibilily to participants, and shared knowledge.
An experimental study on the cyclic behaviour of riveted stiffened seat angle connection with concrete encasement.
Creators: name: Bisson, Marc A.
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 1997
Subjects: subject: Engineering, Civil.

description: Many older buildings have been constructed using what are considered today as semi-rigid or flexible types of connections. A concrete encasement was typically added to columns in the past for the sole purpose of fire protection. The behaviour of semi-rigid connections under cyclic loading and the contribution to seismic resistance of the concrete encasement is a concern. An experimental investigation was undertaken to determine the effect of concrete encasement on cyclic behaviour of a typical riveted stiffened seat angle connection, and the improvement in behaviour when retrofitted with a proposed method. Existing connections were tested and hysteretic moment-rotation curves were obtained. Models previously developed by other researchers were verified and practical recommendations are presented.

title:  Gli stranieri a Roma in un fondo dell’Archivio Storico Capitolino (1507-1527)
Creators: name: Rehberg, Andreas
Publisher: name: RomaTrE-Press
Year: 2018

description: Il 1507 fu un anno molto importante per la storia del notariato romano, in quanto papa Giulio II Della Rovere con la bolla Sicut prudens realizzò – dopo un primo tentativo fallito nel 1483 sotto suo zio Sisto IV – il Collegio degli scrittori dell’Archivio della Curia romana. Con i suoi 101 uffici esso aveva il compito di tutelare coloro che affluivano alla Curia Romana e i Curiam Romanam sequentes e di evitare la dispersione dei registri di imbreviature notarili. Per vie complesse gli atti di questo Collegio sono confluiti principalmente nell'Archivio Storico Capitolino nella Sezione LXVI dell'Archivio Urbano consistente di 117 volumi. Essi non contengono i protocolli di singoli notai ma solo le copie degli atti rogati dai notai stranieri vidimate dagli scriptores e correctores del Collegio creato da Giulio II. Fornendo una vasta casistica, il contributo traccia tre piste di ricerca percorribili attraverso questo materiale: analizzare cioè le varie tipologie di immigrazione, le forme e gli strumenti dell’integrazione e del mantenimento della propria identità da parte degli stranieri, il ruolo infine dei loro testamenti.

Measuring progress towards a circular economy

description: The concept of a circular economy (CE) is gaining increasing attention from policy makers, industry, and academia. There is a rapidly evolving debate on definitions, limitations, the contribution to a wider sustainability agenda, and a need for indicators to assess the effectiveness of circular economy measures at larger scales. Herein, we present a framework for a comprehensive and economy-wide biophysical assessment of a CE, utilizing and systematically linking official statistics on resource extraction and use and waste flows in a mass-balanced approach. This framework builds on the widely applied framework of economy-wide material flow accounting and expands it by integrating waste flows, recycling, and downcycled materials. We propose a comprehensive set of indicators that measure the scale and circularity of total material and waste flows and their socioeconomic and ecological loop closing. We applied this framework in the context of monitoring efforts for a CE in the European Union (EU28) for the year 2014. We found that 7.4 gigatons (Gt) of materials were processed in the EU and only 0.71 Gt of them were secondary materials. The derived input socioeconomic cycling rate of materials was therefore 9.6%. Further, of the 4.8 Gt of interim output flows, 14.8% were recycled or downcycled. Based on these findings and our first efforts in assessing sensitivity of the framework, a number of improvements are deemed necessary: improved reporting of wastes, explicit modeling of societal in-use stocks, introduction of criteria for ecological cycling, and disaggregated mass-based indicators to evaluate environmental impacts of different materials and circularity initiatives. © 2019 The Authors
Writerly passage: Crafting stories within a story
Creators: name: Hecq, Dominique
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: I often struggle with a structured approach to writing, better liking creative impetus that roams free. My natural instinct turns away from graphing, orderliness: drawing board, mind-mapping, butcher paper, storyboarding, cue cards, the works...and opts for fleshing things out blind. Uncertain where I am going, I polish as I go. Carving this artefact, a fantasy novel that comprises stories-within-a-story, I find myself thinking excessively, forcing myself into action, charting down orderliness. The artefact is a personal experiment evolving through reflection, knowledge, experimentation. In Outbreeds, this 70,000-word literary fantasy novel about a new strain of females in the town of East Point, I find myself at home with made-up characters, places, even language: MYRA LISTENS to the fading notes of Amber’s song along the boulevard, not understanding a word of it: ‘Mah ran en at qu flate vene mondu…’ (Bacon 2013) Before my personal experiment goes public, I begin to invent myself, approaching exegesis. This appraisal of methodology, challenges, assumptions and critical reflection brings trepidation and a yen to be free. I harbour a deep-seated longing that my process, the coming to know, will remain raw and unjudged.

Uno dei principi fondamentali dei modelli di selezione del portafoglio è la minimizzazione del rischio attraverso la diversificazione degli investimenti. Tuttavia, i benefici della diversificazione si riducono in presenza di un'elevata correlazione tra gli asset. È noto che la diversificazione attraverso l'uso di portafogli più ampi non è il modo migliore per ottenere un miglioramento della performance fuori campione. Inoltre, l'inclusione di un numero elevato di posizioni nel portafoglio aumenta i costi di gestione e di transazione. Mentre i modelli classici di selezione del portafoglio si concentrano sulla minimizzazione del rischio e sulla massimizzazione del rendimento, lo scopo di questo lavoro è quello di includere un terzo obiettivo: la norma-1. Ciò consente di selezionare portafogli sparsi, cioè con un numero limitato di attività, che sono più facili da gestire e consentono di ottenere buoni risultati in termini di rischio-rendimento. La nostra analisi empirica si basa su un dataset di riferimento disponibile pubblicamente e spesso utilizzato in letteratura.

description: Small-scale systems are an important component of water supplies in the WHO European Region. To improve the evidence base on small-scale water supplies and to gain a better overview of the status quo throughout the Region, the WHO Regional Office for Europe and the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe made a survey requesting country-specific information in 2012-2013 under the Protocol on Water and Health to the 1992 Convention on the Protection and Use of Transboundary Watercourses and International Lakes. The survey had a high response rate (81%), and this analysis of the results includes responses from 43 of the 53 countries in the WHO European Region.
This report summarizes the findings of the survey, which showed that about 23% of the population of the Region receive their drinking-water from small-scale systems. The results reveal that comprehensive information on small-scale water supplies is typically not readily available at the national level across the Region, which hampers systematic assessment of the prevailing conditions. Establishing national registers of small-scale water supplies and routine data collection mechanisms would improve the evidence base and thus support the prioritization of improvements. The findings of the assessment are intended to inform policy-making and the formulation of intervention strategies and to help identify further action under the Protocol.

'The country that doesn't want to heal itself': the burden of history, affect and women's memories in post-dictatorial Argentina
Creators: name: Stockwell, Jill
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: Jill Stockwell explored some of the consequences of political and state violence in Argentina during the 1970s and 1980s. She conducted interviews with women from two ideologically-opposed groups, each of which was connected to antithetical versions of the recent Argentinian past. These interviews elicited memories of trauma and narratives which did not sit comfortably with the forgetful objectives of transitional justice. This thesis contributes to our understanding of the power and significance of the deep emotions and affects that shape memories in political cultures.
The making of Stephen Decatur: A study of heroism and myth building in America
Creators: name: Trim, Henry
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 2008
Subjects: subject: Biography.
subject: History, United States.
subject: History, Military.

description: This thesis seeks to show how heroes are created, the role hero-making plays in the creation of national identity and how the mythology constructed around heroes affects historical memory, by examining the heroic narrative constructed around Commodore Stephen Decatur, United States Navy. Stephen Decatur became a hero during the first Barbary War in 1805, his abrupt rise to heroism was occasioned by a mix of luck, drama, partisan politics and nationalism. After his death, Decatur received very complimentary attention from nineteenth century biographers anxious to present Americans with national heroes. In the twentieth and twenty-first century Decatur remained popular, especially with American reengagement in the Middle East and the "War on Terror." Recent biographies of Decatur are of interest as they reveal the continuities and changes in the American heroic ideal over time, and how the momentum of a narrative can deeply shape our understanding of the past.

description: Based on the animal welfare concept (Art. 13, Art. 25), the REACh Regulation (EC 1907/2006) provides several options to avoid the long term fish toxicity test. About 240 substances from the ECHA and ICS database including 73 pesticides are analysed for species sensitivity differences and acute to chronic ratios to evaluate whether and when chronic fish toxicity tests can be avoided without underestimating environmental risk. Only studies that have been conducted in line with guidelines recommended in the EU guidance documents are used for this study. Sensitivity comparison of fish and Daphnia toxicity indicates that none of both trophic levels is generally more sensitive in acute or long term testing. Based on the finding that the sensitivity in chronic testing is associated with sensitivity in acute testing a classification scheme for acute sensitivity comparison was proposed to contribute the integrated testing strategy.

description: Il contributo osservare la presenza di forestieri e straniere a Roma tra la fine Quattrocento e il primo Cinquecento attraverso il loro accesso all'assistenza praticata dalla confraternita della SS. Annunziata alla Minerva, sodalizio che si specializzò a partire dalla fine del XV secolo nell'erogazione di sussidi dotali a ragazze bisognose. La prima parte dell'intervento si sofferma sulla normativa statutaria dell'istituto, e sui rimaneggiamenti delle rubriche che definivano, assieme ai criteri d'accesso alla caritas, il peso specifico assegnato alla provenienza geografica e al grado di inurbamento. Nella seconda parte del contributo viene invece preso in esame l'effettivo bacino di reclutamento dell'Annunziata che, non presentando specifiche connotazioni in senso professionale, nazionale e rionale, si presta a rappresentare un campione d'indagine significativo per guardare alla presenza dei forenses nella Roma rinascimentale: la documentazione notarile relativa ai pagamenti dei sussidi permette, infatti, di esaminare le scelte matrimoniali, l'identità geografica e professionale, il radicamento territoriale delle ragazze dotate e dei rispettivi mariti, indicando modalità e strategie di inserimento dei forenses nel contesto urbano.

We then study the Deligne-Lusztig varieties associated with general linear groups using flags, and give a complete description in the case of GL3.
Mechanisms of 17-beta-estradiol regulation of the proto-oncogene Bcl-2 in MCF-7 human breast cancer cells.
Creators: name: Kushwaha, Neena.
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 2002
Subjects: subject: Biology, Molecular.

description: In the present studies, the mechanisms of estrogen regulation of Bcl-2 were investigated by analyzing the expression of different Bcl-2 promoter-driven constructs stably transfected into MCF-7 cells. An approximately 1.7 kilobase (kb) sequence which directed estrogen-dependent regulation of Bcl-2 expression in these stable MCF-7 clones was identified. Another agent which may play a role in the regulation of Bcl-2 expression is the tumour suppressor gene, p53. We investigated the effects of various mutant p53 proteins and low levels of p53 on Bcl-2 expression in MCF-7 cells. Neither MCF-7/E6 cells expressing virtually undetectable levels of p53 nor MCF-7/173L cells expressing a DNA binding domain mutant p53, showed altered E2-mediated induction of Bcl-2 mRNA or protein levels. However, MCF-7 cells expressing a truncated mutant p53 protein (Delta291) resulted in a dramatic decrease in Bcl-2 protein levels, but not mRNA levels, upon E2 treatment. These results suggest that a p53 protein lacking a carboxy-terminus may cooperate with E2 post-transcriptionally to negatively regulate Bcl-2 levels in MCF-7 human breast cancer cells.

description: Therapeutics Letter 117 questions the use of high doses of gabapentin and pregabalin for pain. Conclusions: Many British Columbians receive very high doses, against best evidence. Most patients will not benefit from gabapentin or pregabalin for pain. Do not expect better pain relief from high doses. At any dose, assess for benefit or harm within 1-2 weeks; reassess often for dose reduction or deprescribing. Adverse effects increase at higher doses. Expect more harms in frailty, impaired kidney function, or in patients using other sedative drugs or alcohol.

description: L’articolo analizza la complessità del mercato matrimoniale romano all’indomani del Concilio di Trento e l’influenza dell’elemento forestiero nella costruzione della società affrontando in particolare due questioni: le strategie matrimoniali degli stranieri a Roma e la relazione tra mestiere, provenienza e mobilità. Attraverso l’analisi storico demografica e l’approfondimento di due casi di studio mette in luce la connessione tra scelte matrimoniali, mobilità, dinamiche di integrazione individuali e lavorative e legami dei forestieri con il luogo d’origine. Basato sull’analisi del più antico corpus di posizioni matrimoniali fino ad ora analizzate per la città di Roma e che interessa gli anni dal 1608 al 1624, lo studio intende anche integrare gli studi centrati sulla stessa tipologia di fonti che si sono concentrati prevalentemente sulla seconda metà del XVI e sul XVIII secolo.

description: In età moderna il Tribunale del cardinale vicario si occupò dei matrimoni da celebrare in Roma. In tal modo si formarono le raccolte archivistiche dei ‘processetti’ e delle ‘posizioni’ matrimoniali, oggi conservate nell’Archivio Storico del Vicariato. Ad esse si aggiunsero i registri delle licenze rilasciate dal vicegerente per la celebrazione delle nozze e i libri parrocchiali dei matrimoni. Lo studio di queste fonti consente di ricostruire aspetti rilevanti di storia del matrimonio e della famiglia, ma anche della popolazione, dell’immigrazione e dell’integrazione sociale nella Roma pontificia.

description: Incisor enamel microstructures of three euharamyidans, Shenshou lui, Xianshou linglong, and X. songae, from the early Late Jurassic Yanliao Biota, Liaoning Province, China, are reported. The enamel of the three species consists of columnar divergence units that are delimited by planes of crystallite convergence and have irregular shapes and sizes, but there is no distinct line or plane along the divergent axis of crystallites in the unit. Of the three species, the enamel of S. lui is most primitive in having simpler enamel units that are roughly perpendicular to the enamel dentine junction. In Xianshou, the enamel units are oblique apically, and crystallites in the inner zone of enamel show greater differentiation to form erratically spaced clusters that resemble incipient prism-like; seam-like and sheath-like structures are also present. This enamel type may represent a transitional stage between prismless and prismatic enamel. Mapping enamel types from selected taxa of basal mammaliaforms on a simplified phylogeny, the columnar enamel in Thomasia, Shenshou, and some ‘plagiaulacoid’ multituberculates is interpreted as the plesiomorphic condition for allotherians, from which evolved the transitional enamel, as represented by Xianshou and the ‘plagiaulacoid’ Paulchoffatia, and the plesiomorphic prismatic enamel as in some post-‘plagiaulacoid’ multituberculates and gondwanatherians. The prismatic enamel in advanced multituberculates and other gondwanatherians may have evolved independently. Despite the new enamel morphologies revealed in euharamiyidans, the amelogenesis mechanism of how prisms, seams, and sheaths evolved within mammals remains unclear.

description: The goal of this work was to initiate a systematic investigation of the possible substrates for muscle glyconeogenesis under physiological circumstances--during recovery from prolonged submaximal exercise. The hypothesis was that amino acids mobilized from possibly increased body protein breakdown (in particular muscle protein degradation), or glycerol liberated from catabolism of body fat (especially intramuscular fat) during and after exercise might serve as substrates for muscle glyconeogenesis after exercise. In order to assess whole body protein breakdown, muscle myofibrillar protein degradation during and after exercise as well as to determine the incorporation of putative substrates into muscle glycogen during postexercise recovery, twelve-hour-fasted rats were infused intravenously with: (a) $\sp $C-U-urea, (b) $\sp $C-U-threonine (a representative of gluconeogenic amino acids) and $\sp3$H-6-glucose, and (c) $\sp $C-U-glycerol and $\sp3$H-6-glucose throughout two-hour basal, four-hour swim (or rest) and three-hour postexercise recovery periods. Arterial blood samples were taken every hour. Soleus, white and red gastrocnemius muscles were excised and assessed for 3-methylhistidine (3-MH) and tyrosine contents as well as for total and radiolabelled glycogen contents at the end of the postexercise recovery. The results indicate that: (1) whole body protein breakdown and muscle myofibrillar protein degradation increase significantly during and after prolonged swimming in white and red gastrocnemii as evidenced by an increased rate of urea production and increased 3-MH level in blood and in these muscles, respectively; (2) glyconeogenic amino acids released from increased body proteolysis appear to serve as substrates for glyconeogenesis after exercise in at least red gastrocnemius muscle, as demonstrated by the fact that nearly 11% of the label arising from $\sp $C-U-threonine and incorporated into muscle glycogen could be accounted for by muscle glyconeogenesis; and (3) circulating glycerol does not play a role in muscle glyconeogenesis.

description: This thesis used functional magnetic resonance imaging to investigate the brain regions that underpin our ability to navigate. Two different regions, area PFm within the posterior parietal cortex and a region of the retrosplenial cortex, were activated when participants navigated through two simple virtual environments. Importantly, this research demonstrated that the activity of these regions was separated during distinct stages of the navigation. This research provided insights into the potential and different functional roles these two regions play during navigation.
Long Term Thermal Energy Storage in Adsorbent Beds for Solar Heating Applications

description: Long term thermal energy storage in adsorbent beds is investigated as means to store excess solar heat from the summer and release it during the winter for residential heating applications. Adsorption is a reversible exothermic process which releases heat when mesoporous materials, called adsorbents, are exposed to gaseous species, called adsorbates. The adsorbate is adsorbed into the crystal lattice and energy is released. Since the process is reversible, heat can be used to regenerate saturated adsorbent, release the adsorbate and store energy. Adsorption thermal energy storage has many advantages over conventional thermal storage methods and can be combined with all types of solar panels. When incorporated into a solar heating system, the adsorption thermal energy storage system could provide solar heat year round and reduce the home's energy cost by up to 80%. In this study, an activated alumina and zeolite 13X hybrid from Rio Tinto Alcan was identified as the best adsorbent when combined with water as the adsorbate, through an extensive screening procedure. The adsorption and regeneration cycles of the adsorbent were characterized using the prototype system. A maximum performance of 200 kWh/m3 was recorded. A model for predicting adsorbent performance based on the regeneration temperature was created and then tested using a different adsorbent. The efficiency of the system was also calculated in order to identify critical design parameters. The adsorbent was modified by impregnating inorganic salt hydrates into the crystal lattice. The resulting modified adsorbents have a 25% increase in performance, with some adsorbents reaching 300 kWh/m3. Using the performance and efficiency results of the prototype, the practical and economic feasibility of a large scale adsorption thermal energy storage system was investigated in various scenarios. Although adsorption shows several practical improvements over other forms of thermal energy storage, the cost of the systems remains a bottle neck to commercialization.
