ELECTRIC FIELD DISTRIBUTION AND SWITCHING IMPULSE DISCHARGE UNDER SHIELD BALL SURFACE SCRATCH DEFECT IN AN UHVDC HALL

Electric Field Distribution and Switching Impulse Discharge under Shield Ball Surface Scratch Defect in an UHVDC Hall

The dimension and surface state of shielding fittings in ultra high voltage direct current (UHVDC) converter station valve halls have a great influence on their surface electric field and switching impulse incra clamps characteristics, which are important parameters confirming the air gap distance in the valve hall.The characteristics of impulse di

Wild-type measles virus is intrinsically dual-tropic

Measles is a highly contagious disease that causes temporary and severe immunosuppression in patients.Signaling lymphocyte activation molecule (SLAM) expressed on cells of the immune system functions as a receptor for measles virus (MV).In addition to SLAM, vaccine strains of MV also use a ubiquitously expressed complement regulatory protein, CD46,

Can loss of agency and oppositional perturbation associated with antidepressant monotherapy and low-fidelity psychological treatment dilute the benefits of guideline-consistent depression treatment at the population level?

Despite major expansions of evidence-based treatments of common mental disorders in recent decades, especially antidepressant medication, the point prevalence of depression has not decreased; instead it probably increased in young adults.We question whether antidepressants (AD)-monotherapy and low-fidelity-to-guideline psychological treatment (PT)

Review of recent advances in post-harvest techniques for tropical cut flowers and future prospects: Heliconia as a case-study

Aesthetic attributes and easy-to-grow nature of tropical cut flowers (TCFs) have contributedto their potential for increased production.The dearth of information regarding agronomic practices and lack of planting materials are the key hindrances against their fast expansion.Unconventional high-temperature storage requirements and the anatomy of the

Cliffs support lichen communities unique from nearby forests

Cliffs support rare, endemic, and glacial relict vegetation that may differ from vegetation in surrounding forests.Yet, cliffs are difficult to sample, and rock-dwelling lichens can be challenging to identify; therefore, cliff lichens are often excluded from biodiversity studies.This omission creates fundamental gaps in our understanding of cliff l
