Unlike conventional fuel cell control systems, our proposed FCMS considers the cold-weather conditions, the reduction of fuel cell set-point oscillations.
Important budgetary accounts — military pay and benefits — are exempted from the sequester and, according to experts, the Pentagon has more flexibility than is commonly understood to weather these reductions.
Any heat, cold, or weather-related reduction of capacity to carry out daily activities should be considered a 'health effect', given WHO's standing definition of health ('Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity').
The food shortages have been caused by years of economic mismanagement and underinvestment, and have been made worse by poor weather and a reduction of food imports from China and South Korea.
Generally, weathering induces a reduction in the grain size, both due to physical actions (e.g. opening of grain contacts) and to the chemical decomposition of minerals resulting in the formation of clay minerals.
This can be useful in many cases: long distance between the substation and the base of the test staff team difficult terrain with bad roads difficult weather conditions requirements for reduction of outage time because of maintenance.
To adjust the effects of cold and snow, two types of adjustment factors were used: (1) weather factors or percentage reduction (PR) factors and (2) hourly, daily, and monthly factors (HF, DF, and MF).
We applied their calibrated model by incorporating weather factors or percentage reduction (PR) factors along with hourly, daily, and monthly factors to accurately estimate AADT from short-period counts (12-, 248-,48-, 72-, 96-h, and 1 week counts) taken during the winter season.
Most operators try to bale hay quickly to avoid adverse weather and a consequent reduction in hay quality.
In America, Entergy, an electricity utility, reported a 56% drop in first-quarter earnings, blaming the fall partly on mild weather and on rate reductions ordered by regulators.
