Rising block tariff

[edit]

A rising block tariff or a national energy guarantee systems is a pricing system where the cost per unit of electricity increases as more is used. The goal of the system is to reduce energy poverty and energy conservation. It is a common system: roughly half of the world population lives in places that make use of it.[4] Rising block tariffs are used in China, India, South Africa and California.[5]

In countries that seek to reduce the fiscal costs of large-scale energy subsidies, the introducing on rising block tariffs can help shield lower-income people from sudden price rises. This strategy was employed by Brunei Darussalam, who, like many other countries in the Gulf Cooperation Council have been seeking to reduce energy subsidies.[6]

Pumped thermal electricity storage

[edit]

(redirect pumped thermal energy storage).

Pumped thermal electricity storage (PTES) uses reversible heat pumps and heat engines to store and release electricity.[7] The technology is alternatively called a Carnot battery or thermo-electrical energy storage.[8] Usually, the technology stores the electricity in both a hot and cold reservoir.[9]

PTES can be combined with molten salts, installed at concentrated solar power plants.[7] The hot reservoir can be preheated with low-temperature waste heat from industry.[9]

Compared to pumped-storage hydroelectricity (this article should likely be moved to pumped storage hydropower), it typically has a lower efficiency (62–65% in theory), but does not have the same geographical constraints, such as the presence of water reservoirs or caves.[9]

The energy can be stored as sensible heat (via higher temperatures) or as latent heat (the energy needed for a phase transition).[9] PTES is usually subdivided into two categories. Systems that use the Brayton cycle, or those that use the Rankine cycle. The Brayton cycle uses sensible heat, whereas the Rankine cycle uses latent heat.[9]

Judith Rosmalen

[edit]

Judith Rosmalen (born 25 November 1971, Bemmel, Netherlands)[10] is a professor of psychosomatic medicine at the University of Groningen.[11]

She leads a research consortium that seeks to investigate the biomedical aspects of ME/CFS in the Netherlands. Her view is that psychosomatic research does not get enough attention for most illnesses, but has historically been overemphasized in ME/CFS.[11]

Her research makes use of large population studies, such as TRAILS and Lifelines [nl].[12]

In 2023, she was elected member of the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences.[12]

Early life and career

[edit]

Rosmalen was born in Bemmel, a town between Nijmegen and Arnhem in the east of the Netherlands. In her last year of secondary school, she also attended a conservatory, studying flute. She started studying biomedical sciences at Utrecht University in 1990. Three years later, she started a psychology degree at Leiden University. She

Lisa McCorkell

[edit]

Lisa McCorkell is a researcher and Long COVID advocate who co-founded the Patient-Led Research Collaborative (PLRC). She was named one of Nature’s 10 in 2022, recognising her as a person "who shaped science in 2022".[1]

McCorkell co-founded PLRC together with Hannah Davis and a few others with Long COVID, many of whom had research experience.[2][3] They were frustrated with the lack of research on long-term impacts of a COVID-19 infection in the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic.[4]

Education and personal life

[edit]

McCorkell studied Political Science for her Bachelor at the University of California, Los Angeles, and obtained her Masters in Public Policy from University of California, Berkeley. As of 2021, she worked as a policy analyst at the California Department of Social Services, on CalFresh.[5]

McCorkell got a mild bout of COVID-19 in March 2020. By August, she had started to feel better and joined an exercise class, which resulted in an emergency room visit due to breathing problems. She was later diagnosed with postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome and also has had post-exertional malaise that makes other symptoms worse.[6]

Patient-Led Research Collaborative

[edit]

After reading an article on Long COVID by Fiona Lowenstein in The New York Times, McCorkell and other future founders of the Patient-Led Research Collaborative (PLRC) joined the Body Politic COVID-19 Support Group. A team was formed to study Long COVID. Gina Assaf launched an initial survey in April 2024 and McCorkell helped analyse what would be the first research published on Long COVID a few weeks later. The survey highlighted that neurological problems were common in COVID. A second survey detailed how symptoms evolved over a period of 7 months.[7][8]

In 2021, McCorkell testified before the House Committee on Energy and Commerce, Subcommittee on Health.[9]

Use the right reading level

[edit]
Shortcuts

Each reader has a different reading ability. Teenagers and non-native speakers may require plainly written texts, whereas university-schooled readers can understand highly complex text. Research shows that text on Wikipedia tends to be overly difficult.[1] To make sure most interested readers can understand the article, use plain but formal English.

  • Use short sentences and short paragraphs. Readers start to struggle when the average sentence is longer than 12 words. However, using too many short sentences in a row becomes dull and awkward; use a mix of sentence lengths to keep the reader engaged. Similarly, split long paragraphs into smaller ones.
  • Write concisely and avoid redundancy. For instance, replace "The majority of critics gave the film negative reviews." with "Most critics gave the film negative reviews". These exercises help you recognize redunancy.
  • Avoid overly difficult words. For instance, write "use" rather than "utilise", or "help" rather than "facilitate".
  • Use active voice. For instance, replace "The cat was chased by the dog" with "the dog chased the cat".
  • Eliminate long strings of adjectives, particularly technical adjectives.
  • Use bullet points when appropriate.

Various online tools give an indication of the reading level. For instance, the Hemingway App estimates the US grade level of your text, while The first word has a more generic readability score and average sentence length.
