April's eclipse will mean interruptions in solar power generation, which could strain electrical grids
During the most recent total solar eclipse visible in the U.S., on Aug. 21, 2017, the skies darkened as the moon crossed in front of the sun. It blocked out all sunlight—except for that from a golden ring visible around the moon's shape, called the corona. Not surprisingly, solar power generation across North America plummeted for several hours, from the first moment the moon began to obscure the sun to when the sun's disk was clear again.

The constraint satisfaction problem (CSP) can be formulated as a homomorphism problem between relational structures: given a structure $\mathcal{A}$, for any structure $\mathcal{X}$, whether there exists a homomorphism from $\mathcal{X}$ to $\mathcal{A}$. For years, it has been conjectured that all problems of this type are divided into polynomial-time and NP-complete problems, and the conjecture was proved in 2017 separately by Zhuk (2017) and Bulatov (2017).

Identifying Causal Effects under Kink Setting: Theory and Evidence
This paper develops a generalized framework for identifying causal impacts in a reduced-form manner under kinked settings when agents can manipulate their choices around the threshold. The causal estimation using a bunching framework was initially developed by Diamond and Persson (2017) under notched settings. Many empirical applications of bunching designs involve kinked settings. We propose a model-free causal estimator in kinked settings with sharp bunching and then extend to the scenarios w…
