The ASTUTE Health study protocol: Deliberative stakeholder engagements to inform implementation approaches to healthcare disinvestment

Abstract Background Governments and other payers are yet to determine optimal processes by which to review the safety, effectiveness, and cost-effectiveness of technologies and procedures that are in active use within health systems, and rescind funding (partially or fully) from those that display poor profiles against these parameters.To further p

Mechanism of second harmonic generation of photovoltaic grid-connected system faults and its impact on transformer protection

The short-circuit transient characteristics of Minerals photovoltaic(PV) power system are different from traditional power sources.When the grid voltage drops, the output current of PV will contain a high proportion of second harmonics which cannot be ignored.This paper takes a single-phase turn-to-turn short-circuit fault inside the PV grid-connec

Forward stimulated Brillouin scattering and opto-mechanical non-reciprocity in standard polarization maintaining fibres

Abstract Opto-mechanical interactions in guided wave media are drawing great interest in fundamental research and applications.Forward Acne Treatment stimulated Brillouin scattering, in particular, is widely investigated in optical fibres and photonic integrated circuits.In this work, we report a comprehensive study of forward stimulated Brillouin
