RNAs are post-transcriptionally modified by dedicated writer or eraser enzymes that add or remove specific modifications, respectively. Mass spectrometry (MS) of RNA is a useful tool to study the modification state of an...
Reliability-based Probabilistic Network Pricing with Demand Uncertainty
The future energy system embraces growing flexible demand and generation, which bring large-scale uncertainties and challenges to current deterministic network pricing methods. This paper proposes a novel reliability-based...
Overview of Energy Management and Leakage Control Systems for Smart Water Grids and Digital Water
Current and future smart cities are moving towards the zero-net energy use concept. To this end, the built environment should also be designed for efficient energy use and play a significant role in the production of...
Associations between ground reaction force waveforms and sprint start performance
Ground reaction forces produced on the blocks determine an athlete’s centre of mass motion during the sprint start, which is crucial to sprint performance. This study aimed to understand how force waveforms are associated...
Predictors of mathematics in primary school
We determined the relative importance of the so-called approximate number system (ANS), symbolic number comparison (SNC) and verbal and spatial short-term and working memory (WM) capacity for mathematics achievement in 1,254...
Health Detection of Wheat Crop Using Pattern Recognition and Image Processing

Cutting cosmological correlators
Abstract: The initial conditions of our universe appear to us in the form of a classical probability distribution that we probe with cosmological observations. In the current leading paradigm, this probability distribution...
The duration-energy-size enigma for acoustic emission
Abstract: Acoustic emission (AE) measurements of avalanches in different systems, such as domain movements in ferroics or the collapse of voids in porous materials, cannot be compared with model predictions without a detailed...
Impedance-Based Whole-System Modeling for a Composite Grid via Embedding of Frame Dynamics
The paper establishes a methodology to overcome the difficulty of dynamic frame alignment and system separation in impedance modeling of ac grids, and thereby enables impedance-based whole-system modeling of generator-converter...
