Increasing the penetration of variable wind generation in power systems has created some new challenges in the power system operation.In such a situation, the inclusion of flexible resources which have the potential of facilitating wind power integration is necessary.Demand response (DR) programs and emerging utility-scale energy storages (ESs) are
A rare shrub species as flagship for conserving desert steppe in arid Inner Mongolia
The rare species Amygdalus pedunculata Pall.(Rosaceae) in arid northern China is endangered to the point of extinction.Determined to save it, the local government of Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region encouraged the herdsmen to limit grazing activities.Here, we are testing if this species could be considered as a conspicuous flagship for restoring an
Role of critical elements in botulinum neurotoxin complex in toxin routing across intestinal and bronchial barriers.
Stacking Blocks The highly potent botulinum neurotoxin serotype A (BoNT/A) inhibits neurotransmitter release at neuromuscular junctions resulting in flaccid muscle paralysis, respiratory arrest and death.In order to reach their neuronal cell targets, BoNT/A must cross epithelial cell barriers lining the intestines and airways.The toxin is produced
A comparison study on algorithms of detecting long forms for short forms in biomedical text
Abstract Motivation With more and more research dedicated to literature mining in the biomedical domain, more and more systems are available for people to choose from when building literature mining applications.In this study, we focus on one specific kind of literature mining task, i.e., detecting definitions of acronyms, abbreviations, and symbol
