In this paper, we propose an AC power flow based cascading failure model that explicitly considers external weather conditions, extreme temperatures in particular, and evaluates the impact of extreme temperature on the initiation and propagation of cascading blackouts.Based on this model, resilience analysis of the power system is performed with ex
The Small Hive Beetle (Aethina tumida Murray, 1867) is an invasive scavenger of honeybees.Originally Custom Mug endemic in sub-Saharan Africa, it is regulated internationally in order to preserve the areas still free from this species.To ensure the reliability of official diagnoses in case of introduction, an inter-laboratory comparison was organis
Nondestructive estimations of plant community characteristics are essential to vegetation monitoring programs.However, there is no universally accepted method for this purpose in the Arctic, partly because not all programs share the same logistical constraints and monitoring goals.Our aim was to determine the most efficient and effective method for
While the bulk of the finished microbial genomes sequenced to date are derived from cultured bacterial and archaeal representatives, the vast majority of microorganisms elude current culturing attempts, severely limiting the ability to recover complete or even partial genomes from these environmental species.Single cell genomics is a novel culture-
