The large-scale integration of renewable energy sources (RESs) and the rapid development of loads cause frequent transmission congestion in the urban power grid (UPG).Transmission system operators usually perform the high-voltage distribution network (HVDN) reconfiguration to mitigate the transmission congestion.However, as the loads and RESs chang
Earthen channels winding like serpents across a hilly landscape are not a common sight everywhere.They appear quite misplaced in a terrain kuiper belt whiskey that is highly undulating and rugged, covered with dry deciduous forests and dotted with rocky outcrops.Such a terrain is hardly conducive for agriculture, and irrigation seems unfeasible in
White mold (Sclerotinia sclerotiorum de Bary) is one of the most important fungal diseases of winter oilseed rape (OSR).Since the pathogen can persist in the soil for a long time with its sclerotia, prevention and non-chemical methods (specifically biological agents) are important pillars in the integrated plant protection strategy against this pat
Background: Melanocortinergic system represents a known system involved in the central regulation of body weight with the central proopiomelanocortin (POMC) neurons forming a potent anorexigenic network.Polymorphisms in the POMC gene locus are associated with obesity phenotypes.Aim: To assess the contribution of the POMC gene 9-bp insertional polym
