The combustion of fossil fuels in these power plants releases CO2 and other greenhouse gases (GHGs) into the atmosphere. Emissions of CO2 and other GHGs occur throughout the life cycle of electricity generation technologies, including extraction, processing, transportation, and combustion of fossil fuels. Nowadays, the development of smart cities plays a crucial role in reducing CO2 emissions. By integrating technology and sustainable practices into urban infrastructure, smart cities aim to minimize energy consumption and emissions. This research focuses on creating models that correlate CO2 emissions with the installed capacity of power plants and the energy they produce. Polynomial quadratic regression is applied to establish these correlations, enabling the assessment of both present and future CO2 emission values. The construction of new infrastructure for smart cities aligns with the broader goal of fostering a low-carbon economy. The study also considers the potential contribution of thermal energy to CO2 reduction efforts. Researchers aim to identify strategies for meeting emission reduction goals by analyzing power generation models. This involves implementing policies and technologies aimed at reducing GHG emissions and mitigating climate change. CO2 emissions contribute significantly to global warming, leading to climate change and patterns of extreme weather. The data on CO2 emissions encompasses gases generated from burning fossil fuels, highlighting the importance of reducing reliance on these energy sources.

One very important problem is the choice of the correct voltage rating for fuses protecting regenerative DC drives, where many types of fault may occur, which makes fuse protection difficult. In the event of a commutation failure while regenerating, the fuses need to interrupt the loop supplied by the AC and DC voltages acting in series, which is the most difficult case for protection by fuses. In this paper a detailed study of the complete interruption process has been investigated by modeling of arcing process of the fuse protection against the regenerative circuit internal commutation fault. The effect of varying the motor time constant, supply impedance, number of fuses used to clear the fault and DC machine rating on the total transient response is studied. The model of a 200 A fuse is employed in this study. Fuses in series with both the semiconductor devices (F1) and fuses in AC lines (F2) a...

This study examined the role of autophagy in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced brain inflammation and the effects of the traditional chinese medicine ligustrazine on LPS-induced neurocognitive impairment in rats. Furthermore, the molecular mechanisms by which ligustrazine influences neurocognitive impairments were explored. The production of the inflammatory mediators interleukin (IL)-1β and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α was analyzed using ELISAs, and the expression levels of the autophagy marker microtubule-associated protein light chain 3 (Lc3) II/I were analyzed using western blotting. LPS exposure upregulated the expression of IL-1β and TNF-α and downregulated the expression of Lc3 II/I. Ligustrazine activated autophagy by preventing the expression of phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K), phosphorylated protein kinase B (p-AKT), and phosphorylated mammalian target of rapamycin (p-mTOR). The present results suggest that ligustrazine improved LPS-induced neurocognitive impairments by activating autophagy and ameliorated neuronal injury by regulating the PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway. These findings provide an important reference for the prevention and treatment of neuroinflammation.

Research participants were 8th grade of junior high school students, which assigned into experimental and control groups (each group consists of 27 students) based on One-Way ANOVA result (0.255; p-value > 0.05). This quasiexperimental study applied a pre-test and post-test non-equivalent control group design. An analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) was used to analyse pre-test and post-test data, with pre-test as a covariate. Analysis result showed that: 1) students' academic achievement in the experimental group is significantly different with the control group (F=90.562; p-value < 0.05); 2) students' academic achievement gap in the experimental group is lower than the control group; and 3) applying critical thinking aspects on the module have an effective contribution of 64% in students' academic achievement enhancement of the experimental group. Therefore, the use of critical thinking aspects on the module has a good impact on students' academic achievement.
