In the last two decades, many research works have been focused on enhancing the properties of gas sensors by utilising external triggers like temperature and light. Most interestingly, the light-activated gas sensors show promising results, particula...
Arrhythmogenic substrate, modulating factors, and triggering factors (the so-called Coumel’s triangle concept) play a primary role in atrial fibrillation (AF) pathophysiology. Several years have elapsed since Coumel and co-workers advanced the...
Under-frequency load shedding (UFLS) is a classic and a commonly accepted measure used to mitigate the frequency disturbances in case of loss-of-generation incidents in AC power grids. Triggering of UFLS is classically done at frequency thresholds wh...
This paper provides a comprehensive review of recent studies on event-triggered control schemes for DC microgrids. Several event-triggered mechanisms (ETMs) are thoroughly discussed, including static, dynamic, self-triggered, and edge-based algorithm...
Plant nutrition and photosynthesis is one of the most difficult issues teachers are confronted with in science classes. This can be due to alternative conceptions students’ hold, which are often profoundly contrary to their scientific counterpa...
An efficient participation of prosumers in power system management depends on the quality of information they can obtain. Prosumers actions can be performed by automated agents that are operating in time-changing environments. Therefore, it is essent...
