Balancing Energy Trilemma Using Hybrid Distributed Rooftop Solar PV (DRSP)/Battery/Diesel Microgrid: A Case Study in Gilutongan Island, Cordova, Cebu, Philippines

Design strategies for achieving reliable, affordable, and clean electricity are crucial for energy sustainability.Attaining it requires managing the three core factors (TCF) of the energy trilemma (ET) to increase reliability HAIR FORMULA (energy equity), minimize the levelized cost of electricity (LCOE) (energy equity), and avoid potential CO2 emi

Changes in a Giant Iceberg Created from the Collapse of the Larsen C Ice Shelf, Antarctic Peninsula, Derived from Sentinel-1 and CryoSat-2 Data

The giant tabular iceberg A68 broke away from the Larsen C Ice Shelf, Antarctic Peninsula, in July 2017.The evolution of A68 would have been affected by both the Larsen C Ice Shelf, the surrounding sea ice, and the nearby shallow seafloor.In this study, we analyze the initial evolution of iceberg A68A—the largest originating from A68—in

Dendrimers for Drug Delivery

Dendrimers have come a long way in the last 25 years since their inception.Originally created as a wonder molecule of chemistry, dendrimer is now in the fourth class of polymers.Dr.Donald Tomalia first published his seminal work on Poly(amidoamine) (PAMAM) dendrimers in 1985.Application of dendrimers as a drug delivery system started in late 1990s.
