This study investigates whether public education expenditure crowds out or complements health investment in influencing life expectancy across 158 countries from 1990 to 2023. Graphical analysis shows that in high-income countries, health expenditure...
Economic growth and societal well-being are highly dependent on the availability and efficient use of energy resources. This process evolves over time, along with changing developmental challenges, leading to an alteration of the world energy mix. Th...
Ecological theory suggests that species with complementary architectural and physiological traits can optimize crown packing to improve resource efficiency and promote ecosystem productivity in forest communities. However, empirical evidence of this...
Supply–demand balance in wind–solar dominant energy transition is challenged by the volatility of wind–solar power. Complementarity of wind–solar power has been introduced to suppress this volatility. Although multiple indices...
At present, China regards philanthropy as an important component of social security, social governance, and the third distribution of resources. Structural changes in government expenditure can drive the adjustment of social resources; therefore, it...
New approaches to assessing the “enzyme–ligand” complementarity, taking into account hydrogens, have been proposed. The approaches are based on the calculation of three-dimensional maps of the electron density of the receptor–ligand complexes. The ac...
To improve the efficiency, accuracy, and intelligence of target detection and recognition, multi-sensor information fusion technology has broad application prospects in many aspects. Compared with single sensor, multi-sensor data contains more target...

This study examines the effect of the complementarity between the variable generation resources (VGRs) and the load on the flexibility of the power system. The complementarity may change the ramping capability requirement, and thereby, the flexibilit...
The integration of non-conventional renewable energy sources (NRES) into electricity systems introduces variability and intermittency, challenging power systems traditionally designed for stable and predictable generation. These challenges require po...
Background/Objectives: Improving one’s diet for the purpose of promoting health is constrained by people’s ingrained eating habits, as the eating patterns that align with their established habits do not necessarily correspond to a healthy...
