The occurrence of fog often causes errors in the prediction of the incident solar radiation and the power produced by photovoltaic cells.An accurate fog forecast would benefit solar energy producers and grid operators, who could take coordinated actions to reduce the impact of discontinuity, the main drawback of renewable energy sources.Considering
Transmission of SARS-CoV-2 in domestic cats imposes a narrow bottleneck.
The evolutionary mechanisms by which SARS-CoV-2 viruses adapt to mammalian hosts and, potentially, undergo antigenic evolution depend on the ways genetic variation is generated and selected within and between individual hosts.Using domestic cats as a model, we show that SARS-CoV-2 consensus sequences remain largely unchanged over time within hosts,
Can the Belt and Road Initiative reduce pollution in enterprises?—Evidence from quasi-natural experiments
Based on a micro-economic entity Wet Mops perspective, this paper empirically examines the effect of the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) on environment pollution of Chinese enterprises and its underlying mechanism.We found that: (1) The BRI could significantly reduce the environment pollution of enterprises supported by the BRI in China.(2) In consi
A study of the improvement of foam material sealing technology for wetsuits
Abstract The purpose of this study is to propose the most suitable sewing method to produce wetsuits using neoprene fabric.To construct a sewing method sample using neoprene fabric, the samples were prepared using two thicknesses (1.5 t and 3 t) of neoprene fabric.Sewing techniques comprised 10 Organizers different methods.The respective seam stren
Large teleseismic P-wave residuals observed at the Alban Hills volcano, Central Italy
We collected teleseismic waveforms from a digital microseismic network deployed by the Istituto Nazionale di Geofisica (ING) in collaboration with the U.S.Geological Survey (USGS), on the Alban Hills Quaternary volcano during the 1989-1990 seismic swann.About 50 events were recorded by the network, 30 of them by at least 4 stations.We analysed the
