Reliability of Mandel's Energy Emission Analysis (EEA) in Sick PersonsOBJECTIVE: Is the Energy Emission Analysis (EEA) according to Mandel a reliable diagnostic instrument in severely diseased patients? PATIENTS: 30 patients of the Stauferklinik Schwäbisch Gmünd, Germany, suffering from a great variety of diseases. STUDY DESIGN: At regular intervals of 10-15 min 4 Kirlian photos of fingers and toes were taken from each patient. An experienced rater blindly assessed all photos according to the EEA sectors with respect to remarkable phenomena. Additionally he defined the most affected circles of functions of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). RESULTS: The circles of functions of kidney/bladder and spleen/pancreas/stomach appeared to be the most affected in nearly all photos, the reliability is estimated by a rather low intraclass-kappa of 0.14 (95% CI: 0.00-0.29, p = 0.0279. Reliabilities of single EEA sectors also are low and similar to those of healthy persons. CONCLUSIONS: The reasons for the moderate reliability may be attributed to fluctuations of Chi, increasing regulation rigidity of diseased persons or simply to technical limitations of the method.Possibly new realtime Kirlian devices can provide additional information.

By providing guarantees and direct lending, public export credit agencies (ECAs) de-risk and thus enable energy projects worldwide. Despite their importance for global greenhouse gas emission pathways, a systematic assessment of ECAs' role and financing patterns in the low-carbon energy transition is still needed. Using commercial transaction data, here we analyze 921 energy deals backed by ECAs from 31 OECD and non-OECD countries (excluding Canada) between 2013 and 2023.

The adoption of carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) technology is increasingly prevalent, driven by the global initiative to conserve energy and reduce emissions. Nevertheless, CCUS has the potential to induce corrosion in equipment, particularly in high-pressure environments containing carbon dioxide (CO). Therefore, anti-corrosion protection is necessary for the metal utilized for CO production and storage equipment.

A particle current generated by pumping in the absence of gradients in potential energy, density or temperature is associated with non-trivial dynamics. A representative example is charge pumping that is associated with the quantum Hall effect and the quantum anomalous Hall effect. Spin pumping, the spin equivalent of charge pumping, refers to the emission of a spin current by magnetization dynamics.

High carbon sectors (agriculture, industry, construction, and transportation) contribute nearly 85% of carbon emissions, highlighting the urgent need for transitioning towards cleaner energy structures in these sectors. This study utilizes the undesirable SBM model to assess TFEE (total factor energy efficiency) across the total sector and high carbon sectors. It decomposes TFEE from an energy structural perspective into coal, oil, natural gas, and electric heat efficiencies.

Hybrid transmissions have attracted great attention in the automotive industry due to their energy-saving, low-emission properties, and have become a focus of research and development. This paper presents a new method to design the configuration of two mode power split hybrid transmission using the combination of the simple planetary gear trains (PGT). For this purpose, the hybrid transmission structure is divided into two substructures, which achieve different operation modes respectively.
