Optimizing the heliostat field aiming strategy is crucial for maximizing thermal power production in solar power tower (SPT) plants while adhering to operational constraints.Although existing approaches can yield highly optimal solutions, their considerable computational cost makes them unsuitable for real-time optimization USB External HDD Enclosu

Abstract Boredom is a ubiquitous, aversive human experience typically elicited by low information and monotony.Boredom can occur either as a transient mental state that prompts individuals to adapt their behavior to avoid monotony or as a temporally stable trait, describing a chronic susceptibility to feeling bored.Increased trait boredom was found

The ability to automatically assess emotional responses via contact-free video recording taps into a rapidly growing market aimed at predicting consumer choices.If consumer attention and engagement are measurable in a reliable and accessible manner, relevant marketing decisions could be informed by objective data.Although significant advances have

Salinity is detrimental to soil health, plant growth, and crop productivity.Understanding salt tolerance mechanisms offers the potential to introduce superior crops, especially in coastal regions.Root system architecture (RSA) plasticity is vital for plant salt stress adaptation.Tall fescue is a promising forage grass in saline regions with scarce

Muscular dystrophies are common, currently incurable diseases.A subset of dystrophies result from genetic disruptions in complexes that attach muscle fibers to their surrounding extracellular matrix microenvironment.Cell-matrix adhesions are exquisite sensors of physiological conditions and mediate responses that allow cells to adapt to changing co
