Wind plant annual energy production maximisation and efficiency improvement with considerations for thrust and turbulence intensity by Charles, Mfon Okokon

“…However, besides their more appealing outlook, regular layouts could afford directions of large T-2-T distances which promote low TI, low deficit, and where non-optimized operational benefits (e.g. reduced computational and communication overhead) can be enjoyed, along with directions of tight T-2-T distances to also enjoy optimized operational benefits (e.g. high turbine and power density). To exploit this feature, this study proposes and implements an axial induction-based cooperative power maximisation for annual energy production (AEP) maximisation in a hexagonally deployed multi-directional wind site with space restrictions, using particle swarm optimization (PSO) and genetic algorithm (GA). …”

The reaction between ferrocytochrome c and hydrogen peroxide by Hulett, Leslie Graham

“…The copper complex was found to catalyse the oxidation of ferrocytochrome c by hydrogen peroxide and the kinetic studies of this oxidation showed that the reaction could be fitted to a simple mechanism which did not involve the formation of intermediate complexes. An unusual feature of the reaction was the ability of the cytochrome c, after complete oxidation, to undergo reduction, which is dependent on the presence of both hydrogen peroxide and copper ions.…”
