Cascading overload failures of transmission lines are one of the dominant factors that induce catastrophic blackouts.The reliability risk of cascading overload failures is significantly underestimated in traditional adequacy assessment studies.This paper proposes an evaluation read more model for the assessment of $N$ - $k$ contingencies as cascadi

Syn-subduction basins bear significant implications to understand tectonic evolution of any fossil subduction zone.The late Paleozoic to early Mesozoic (Paleo-Tethyan) tectonics of the eastern and southeastern Tibetan Plateau (i.e., the Sanjiang Orogenic Belt) is featured by ocean-continent subduction systems.A huge pile of volcanic-absent sediment

Background: It is known that eye enucleation causes various morphological and functional alterations in the central nervous system (CNS).The purpose of this study was to examine the sub-chronic effects of monocular enucleation on the distribution of the calcium binding proteins calbindin D28k (CB) and parvalbumin (PV) as well as the glial fibrillar

Abstract In this paper, we consider the effects of the small and abrupt random perturbations in the environment, and formulate a stochastic single species model with Allee effect and jump-diffusion.We first prove that the model admits a unique borstlist självhäftande solution which is global and positive.Then we study the stochastic permanence an

Abstract Background In South Africa, community health workers (CHWs) working in community-based care (CBC) programmes provide care to patients most of whom are living with HIV/AIDS and tuberculosis (TB).Although studies have shown that the caregiving activities provided by the CHWs generate health care waste (HCW), there is limited information abou
