Sensitivity of a Lumped-Capacitance Building Thermal Modelling Approach for Energy-Market-Scale Flexibility Studies

Despite all the literature on building energy management, building-stock-scale models depicting its impact for energy-market-scale optimisation models are lacking.To address this shortcoming, an open-source tool called ArchetypeBuildingModel.jl has been developed for aggregating building-stock-level data into simplified lumped-capacitance thermal m

Effects of cerebellar transcranial direct current stimulation on upper limb motor function after stroke: study protocol for the pilot of a randomized controlled trial

Abstract Background Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is a technique Hand Grips that can noninvasively modulate neural states in a targeted brain region.As cerebellar activity levels are associated with upper limb motor improvement after stroke, the cerebellum is a plausible target of tDCS.However, the effect of tDCS remains unclear.He
