Optimal energy management for a grid-tied solar PV-battery microgrid: A reinforcement learning approach by Muriithi, Grace

“…Simulation results substantiated the efficacy of the proposed method as the algorithm was established to learn from experience to raise the battery state of charge and optimally shift loads from a one-time instance, thus supporting the utility grid in reducing aggregate peak load. …”

An analysis of annual environmental conditions and heat gains, and theoretical assessment of approaches to improve summer thermal comfort, of the Energy Research Centre at the Univ... by Cunliffe, Guy Edward

“…A model of the ERC offices is developed in DesignBuilder, which characterises thermal properties of the building envelope, thermal loads of lighting, electronic equipment and building occupants, and effects of prevailing weather patterns and solar radiation at the site of the building. Physical energy simulations of the model are run in EnergyPlus, which uses a series of algorithms based on the Heat Balance Method to quantify internal psychrometric conditions and heat gains in half-hourly iterations. …”

Measuring cross-section data for prompt gammas emitted during proton-nucleus collisions by Ramanathan, Vijitha

“…The detection of secondary prompt gamma rays have been proposed as an in-situ method to determine the proton range since the location of the prompt gamma emission is strongly correlated with the proton depth dose profile. …”

A patient-specific adaptation of the Living Human Heart Model in application to pulmonary hypertension by Abdel-Raouf, Yousof

“…We, therefore, present a solution to modify the Living Human Heart Model (LHHM) to obtain a patient-specific geometry using the thermal expansion method, with iteratively adjusted parameters that accurately simulate the case of a 72-year-old female patient suffering from secondary pulmonary hypertension caused by mitral valve regurgitation (MR). …”
