WV: But why would it work better than, say, regulating time zones so they tie in better with the local solar time?
About this, Ms. Redniss writes: "Mechanisms that depend on piezoelectricity are found today propelling the droplets in inkjet printers, regulating time in quartz watches, controlling the shrill wail of smoke detectors, turning the adjustable lenses of autofocus cameras" and "acting as the pickups in electric guitars".
By doing this, the regulating times of the discrete devices are decreased, and meanwhile the dynamic reactive power reserve is increased.
Based on the operational position of SCBs or OLTCs at t − 1, the regulating times of these discrete devices during t ~ t + 1 are converted to the operational cost which is regarded as one of the control objectives.
In this ORPD strategy, the total voltage deviation of pilot nodes of WPPC is defined as the deviation index, the total reactive power reserve of the dynamic devices of WPPC is defined as the reserve index, and the total regulating times of the discrete devices of WPPC are defined as the economic indexes.
As can be seen from Table 3 and Fig. 6, considering the reserve index of the dynamic devices and the economic index of the discrete devices in the control objectives utilizing the historical operation information, the regulating times of the discrete devices are decreased and the dynamic reactive power reserve is increased in control mode II.
In this study, other small RNAs that may potentially function in regulating flowering time under low temperature treatment were not excluded (Figure 4B), and approximately 80% of abundant smRNAs consisted of currently unknown sequences.
We find two separate candidate intervals that likely play important roles in regulating flowering time.
Detailed analyses have shown that vernalization, day-length sensitivity, and earliness per se genes are mainly responsible for regulating heading time.
Because the circadian clock has a critical role in the flowering transition, the activities of antioxidative enzymes might be necessary for regulating flowering time and thermotolerance mechanisms [ 42].
Light and temperature, acting through photoperiod, light quality, vernalization and ambient temperature pathways, are the most important environmental factors regulating flowering time [ 1].
