Comparative assessment of generative models for transformer- and consumer-level load profiles generation

Residential load profiles (RLPs) play an increasingly important role in the optimal operation and planning of distribution systems, particularly with the rising integration of low-carbon energy resources such as PV systems, electric vehicles, small-scale batteries, etc. Despite the prevalence of various data-driven models for generating...

DisQ: Disentangling Quantitative MRI Mapping of the Heart

Quantitative MRI (qMRI) of the heart has become an important clinical tool for examining myocardial tissue properties. Because heart is a moving object, it is usually imaged with electrocardiogram and respiratory gating during acquisition, to “freeze” its motion. In reality, gating is more-often-than-not imperfect given the heart rate...

Surface functionalized N-C-TiO₂/C nanocomposites derived from metal-organic framework in water vapour for enhanced photocatalytic H₂ generation

Surface-functionalized nitrogen/carbon co-doped polymorphic TiO₂ phase junction nanoparticles uniformly distributed in porous carbon matrix were synthesized by a simple one-step pyrolysis of titanium based metal–organic framework (MOF), NH₂-MIL-125(Ti) at 700 °C under water vapour atmosphere. Introducing water vapour...

Multi-omics integrative analysis with genome-scale metabolic model simulation reveals global cellular adaptation of Aspergillus niger under industrial enzyme production condition

Oxygen limitation is regarded as a useful strategy to improve enzyme production by mycelial fungus like Aspergillus niger. However, the intracellular metabolic response of A. niger to oxygen limitation is still obscure. To address this, the metabolism of A. niger was studied using multi-omics integrated analysis based on the latest GEMs ...

Integrated isotope-assisted metabolomics and ¹³C metabolic flux analysis reveals metabolic flux redistribution for high glucoamylase production by Aspergillus niger

Background: Aspergillus niger is widely used for enzyme production and achievement of high enzyme production depends on the comprehensive understanding of cell's metabolic regulation mechanisms. Results: In this paper, we investigate the metabolic differences and regulation mechanisms between a high glucoamylase-producing strain A. niger...

Hydrological Changes of the Irtysh River and the Possible Causes

Hydrological changes of the Irtysh River were analyzed concerning the changes of annual runoff and its distribution features within a year measured by coefficient of variation and concentration degree. Abrupt changes were detected by the heuristic segmentation method. Possible causes of the hydrological changes were investigated considering...
