An accurate short-term load forecasting (STLF) is one of the most critical inputs for power plant units’ planning commitment. STLF reduces the overall planning uncertainty added by the intermittent production of renewable sources; thus, it helps to minimize the hydro-thermal ele…

As energias renováveis tornaram-se uma fonte substancial de energia em quase toda a Europa devido ao ambiente limpo e livre de poluição em comparação com os combustíveis fósseis que são usados principalmente para a geração de energia. Por estas razões também em Portugal a atençã…
Alfalfa cubes are transported over long distances for export. The ambient conditions that the cubes may be exposed to in transit could vary from below freezing to in excess of 40°C and relative humidity up to 100%, especially when cubes are exported to humid regions of the Pacif…
Photocatalytic oxidation is a process in which a semiconductor upon adsorption of a photon acts as a catalyst in producing reactive radicals, mainly •OH radicals, which in turn can oxidize contaminant species. These •OH radicals completely mineralize even the dead microbial spec…
Climate is called "the only nature that has not been artificially created". With the acceleration of globalization, the convergence of buildings in different regions is increasingly apparent. When we retrospect to the regionality of buildings, the local climate with which the bu…
Extreme heat is one of the most important pathways illustrating the connection between climate and human health, including in temperate areas such as the Pacific Northwest. Moreover, climate change is expected to exacerbate this important public health issue. This research has t…
The South American Monsoon System (SAMS) is characterized by a well-defined wet and dry season, which is connected to the reversal of anomalous low-level winds east of the Andes. Driven by local and remote processes, the intensity and duration of the SAMS can vary considerably f…
I explore human experience through the lens of the natural world while calling attention to preservation and its changing role. Encrusted with crystals my work explores fossilized fragments of our everyday world that speak to our current place in time and our connection to the n…
Conspicuous animal signals are often under conflicting selection, with higher performance in one fitness component of life history diminishing performance in another component. The diversity of animal signals in nature suggests that novelty-a new structure or property of an orga…
