The distributed generation, along with the deregulation of the Smart Grid, have created a great concern on Power Quality (PQ), as it has a direct impact on utilities and customers, as well as effects on the sinusoidal signal of the power line. The a priori unknown features of the distributed energy resources (DER) introduce non-linear behaviours in loads associated to a variety of PQ disturbances.

This figures show a sequence of photos of puncturing into the zerbrafish embryo. Initially, the tip approached the embryo orthogonally to the slot and punctured into the embryo at the instant that it was in contact with the cell membrane. Subsequently, the USPA caused the tip to retract from the embryo; this process changed the embryo’s position possibly because of the dragging force between the pipette and the membrane [48].

Smart farming is the targeted use of phenotyping for the rapid, continuous, and accurate assessment of plant health in the field. Bioimpedance monitoring can play a role in smart farming as a phenotyping method, which is now accessible thanks to recent efforts to commoditize and miniaturize electronics. Here, we demonstrate that bioimpedance measurements reflect the physiological changes in live plant tissue with induced alterations in their environmental conditions.

The inquiry into the impact of diverse transitions between cross-reality environments on the user experience remains a compelling research endeavor.
Existing work often offers fragmented perspectives on various techniques or confines itself to a singular segment of the reality-virtuality spectrum, be it virtual reality or augmented reality.
This study embarks on bridging this knowledge gap by systematically assessing the effects of six prevalent transitions while users remain immersed in tasks spanning both virtual and physical domains.

RITA (Resource for Italian Tests Assessment), is a new dataset of academic exam texts written in Italian by second-language learners for obtaining the CEFR certification of proficiency level.
In addition to the tests, RITA provides a variety of speech elements, annotations, and statistics, including phraseological units and their syntactic dependencies. The dataset consists of two corpora: one containing the task assignment and the other containing the texts elaborated by the learners in response to the assignment. This work describes the

We present a finite-element-based cohesive zone model for simulating the nonlinear fracture process driving the propagation of water-filled surface crevasses in floating ice tongues. The fracture process is captured using an interface element whose constitutive behavior is described by a bilinear cohesive law, and the bulk rheology of ice is described by a nonlinear elasto-viscoplastic model. The additional loading due to meltwater pressure within the crevasse is incorporated by combining the ideas of poromechanics and damage mechanics.
