Voltage regulation in low-voltage (LV) distribution grids is essential to increase the penetration of photovoltaic (PV) rooftop units.Hence, PV inverters are commonly embedded with volt-var (VV) and volt-watt (VW) control functions to support the grid voltage regulation within the grid codes.Such an approach usually increases the LV grid hosting ca
Evaluation of subsurface irrigation on microorganism contamination of romaine lettuce
The use of contaminated water to irrigate crops by surface, sprinkler, or conventional drip irrigation represents a significant public health concern due WHITE REGULAR to the presence of multiple microbial pathogens associated with gastrointestinal disease.In this study, Escherichia coli and MS2 bacteriophage were used as microbial surrogates to ev
A novel spreading dynamic based on adoption against the trend
In the spreading dynamics of previous fashion trends, adoption researchers have neglected to consider that some individuals may behave differently from popular tendencies, which is called opposite-trend adoption behavior.To explore the dissemination mechanisms of the behavior, we first establish the adoption-against-trend model.Additionally, an edg
CHARACTERISATION OF CEILING BOARDS PRODUCED FROM PLASTER OF PARIS REINFORCED WITH BANANA FIBRE AND COCONUT SHELL
The need for environmentally friendly and affordable building materials has sparked researches for materials to use in the construction industry.This paper therefore, studied the characterization of ceiling boards manufactured from plaster of Paris (POP) reinforced with banana fibres (BF) and coconut shell (CS) particulates.The samples were produce
Correction Experiences on Social Media During COVID-19
Despite a wealth of research examining the effectiveness of correction of misinformation, not enough is known about how people experience such correction when it occurs on social media.Using a study of US adults in late March 2020, we measure how often people witness correction, correct others, or are corrected themselves, using the case of COVID-1
