Voltage Unbalance Control Strategy for Local Shading Photovoltaic Grid-Connected System by Pingye Wan, Miao Huang, Jinshan Mou, Lili Tao, Shuping Zhang, Zhihua Hu

“…In view of the sudden grid voltage distortions, such as voltage sags and unbalances, that may occur in photovoltaic (PV) grid-connected systems under local shading conditions, this paper proposes a control strategy integrating a linear active disturbance rejection controller (LADRC)-based virtual synchronous generator (VSG) and an active disturbance rejection controller (ADRC)-based dynamic voltage restorer (DVR). …”

Analysis of inequities between demographic and social determinants associated with overweight and obesity by Pabyle Alves Flauzino, Ilana Nogueira Bezerra, Julia Sichieri Moura, Rosely Sichieri

“…Self-reported weight and height were used to estimate the prevalence of overweight and obesity, in addition to information on sociodemographic characteristics such as age (continuous), sex (male/female), skin color or race (white, brown, and black), location of residence (urban or rural), and per capita family income (quartile). Linear regression models were used to assess changes in mean BMI according to age and income in each area (urban/rural), stratified by sex and race/skin color. …”

EFFECTS OF WEATHER, INCUBATION, AND HUNTING ON GOBBLING ACTIVITY IN WILD TURKEYS by James M. Kienzler, Terry W. Little, Wayne A. Fuller

“…Early morning gobbling activity was monitored daily from mid‐March through early June on two areas in south‐central Iowa, 1978‐81. Although no linear trend of gobbling activity and hunter density could be detected (P = 0.87), the presence of hunters depressed gobbling counts (P < 0.001). …”

A Self-Adaptive Regression-Based Multivariate Data Compression Scheme with Error Bound in Wireless Sensor Networks by Jianming Zhang, Kun Yang, Lingyun Xiang, Yuansheng Luo, Bing Xiong, Qiang Tang

“…For multivariate stream on a sensor node, some data streams are elected as the base functions according to the correlation coefficient matrix, and the other streams from the same node can be expressed in relation to one of these base functions using linear regression. By designing an incremental algorithm for computing regression coefficients, a multivariate data compression scheme based on self-adaptive regression with infinite norm error bound for WSNs is proposed. …”

Performance Evaluation of STARPAM Polymer and Application in High Temperature and Salinity Reservoir by Chengli Zhang, Peng Wang, Guoliang Song

“…In the article, the performance of the STARPAM (star-shaped polymer) with heat resistance and salt tolerance was evaluated by comparing the viscosification property, heat and salt resistance, calcium and magnesium tolerance, and long-term thermal stability of STARPAM (star-shaped polymer) with those of HPAM (partially hydrolyzed polyacrylamide) and MO-4000 (linear polymer). The results of physical simulation experiment showed that the viscosity of the STARPAM is 3.3 times that of MO-4000 and 4 times that of HPAM under the conditions of mineralization degree of 20000 mg/L, concentration of 1500 mg/L, and 75°C, which indicated that heat resistance and salt tolerance of the STARPAM are excellent. …”

Association between the dietary index for gut microbiota and constipation in American adults by Chunyan Song, Zhulin Zhang, Shanxiang Zhu, Huacheng Tong

“…Multivariate weighted logistic regression, adjusted for confounders, was performed to analyze the association between DI-GM scores and constipation prevalence.Further analyses included a subgroup analysis and restricted cubic splines to explore this association [restricted cubic spline(RCS)].An increased DI-GM index, indicating a healthier gut microbiome, was related to a decreased risk of constipation.A similar association was observed with a more favorable score for beneficial gut microbiota.Non-linear associations between DI-GM scores and constipation were identified through RCS analysis.Subgroup and interaction analyses confirmed the consistency of these findings across strata, suggesting no significant heterogeneity.These findings suggest that dietary adjustments may be an important method for preventing constipation.…”
