Conditional probabilities of daily relative sunshine data and the dependence on the weather of the previous day
Article Abstract:
The empirical probabalities of daily relative sunshine (DRS) are calculated based on correlation formulas of solar radiation and sunshine data for 30 years. By applying mathematical formulas in probability and statistics, the value of DRS for each month of the year is estimated using daily data obtained from a location in Athens. Results show that the weather of a particular day of a certain month is dependent on the weather of the previous day. This study is beneficial in determining the expected efficiency of solar energy systems and the design of the required storage.

The study of EMF studies
Article Abstract:
The National Research Council released a report concerning researches on the effects of electromagnetic fields (EMF) on human health. The report represents more than 500 studies and 17 years of research on EMF indicates that EMF do not cause cancer, physical abnormalities or behavioral problems. The committee's report shows that there is no significant link between EMF and childhood leukemia and that EMF may affect cells only at levels between 1,000 to 10,000 times stronger than residential EFM.

Electricity demand studies revisited: problems of using aggregate data
Article Abstract:
Previous research regarding electric power demand has applied yearly or constant monthly data to define trends, thus ignoring the significance of the seasonal variation of electricity consumption, fuel adjustments and rate schedules. These three factors affect the intramarginal premium (IMP) and other coefficients. This could thus explain the inability of existing studies to obtain the theoretically correct sign and magnitude of the IMP.
