Short‐term load interval prediction with unilateral adaptive update strategy and simplified biased convex cost function
Authors: Zheng Shu , Long Huan , Wu Zhi , Gu Wei , Zhao Jingtao , Geng Runhao 
Published: August 2024

AbstractThis article proposes a unilateral Adaptive update strategy based Interval Prediction (AIP) model for short‐term load prediction, which is developed based on lower and upper bound estimation (LUBE) architecture. In traditional LUBE interval prediction model, the model training is usually trained by heuristic algorithms. In this article, the model training is formulated as a bi‐level optimization problem with the help of proposed unilateral adaptive update strategy and cost function. In lower‐level problem, a simplified biased convex cost function is developed to supervise the learning direction of basic prediction engines. The basic prediction engine utilizes Gated Recurrent Unit (GRU) to extract features and Full connected Neural Network (FNN) to generate interval boundary. In upper‐level problem, a unilateral adaptive update strategy with unilateral coverage rate is put forward. It iteratively tunes hyper‐parameters of cost function during training process. Comprehensive experiments based on residential load data are implemented and the proposed interval prediction model outperforms the tested state‐of‐the‐art algorithms, achieving a 15% reduction in prediction error and a 20% decrease in computational time.
Adaptive complex coefficient‐filtered extended states observer type three‐phase enhanced phase‐locked loop

Published: August 2024

AbstractThis paper proposes an adaptive complex coefficient filtered (CCF) full order extended state observer (ESO) type three phase enhanced phase locked loop (EPLL), which is employed in matrix reactance frequency converter (MRFC) for rotating vectors measurement estimation. EPLL phase detector was analysed first to track not only the rad frequency and transient phase, but also the amplitude of the rotating vectors. Full order ESO can filter out more high frequency disturbance, so it can track frequency and phase more accurately than proportion and integration algorithm. CCF modules were analysed in theory to attenuate the disturbance within two times of the EPLL's cut‐off frequency. The whole adaptive CCF‐ESO‐EPLL design, including stability and parameter tuning were then interpreted. The proposed CCF‐ESO‐EPLL adapts the estimated frequency with CCF to attenuate the MRFC switching non‐linear disturbance as well as unknown disturbance by the full order ESO. The MRFC topology necessary measured vectors, as well as the input side reactive power adjustment capacity, were discussed. The theoretical conclusion has been verified on a MRFC prototype. The proposed CCF‐ESO‐EPLL has less parameter tuning, less computation resource requirement, better steady and dynamic performance, and outstanding disturbance robustness.
Reliability–flexibility integrated optimal sizing of second‐life battery energy storage systems in distribution networks

Published: August 2024

AbstractSecond‐life batteries (SLBs), which are batteries retired from electric vehicles (EVs), can be used as energy storage systems to enhance the performance of distribution networks. Two issues should be addressed particularly for the optimal sizing of SLBs. Compared with fresh batteries, the failure rate of SLBs is relatively high, and timely and preventive replacement is needed. In addition, the flexibility introduced by EVs and installed SLBs should be coordinated to achieve optimal economic benefits. This paper focuses on the efficient utilization of SLBs by highlighting reliability‐flexibility concerns in optimal sizing. The model is formulated as a bi‐level model. On the upper‐level, considering the operational reliability constraints of SLBs, decisions regarding the investment and replacement of SLBs are optimized. Distribution network operations are improved on the lowerlevel, with an effective spatiotemporal flexible dispatch strategy for EVs. Finally, a linearized process for the optimal sizing of SLBs is presented and efficiently implemented. The Sioux Falls network and IEEE 69‐node distribution network are coupled as the test system. According to the simulation results, when the state of health of the SLBs decreased to 70%, the conditions were unreliable. The differences in the optimal SLB size and costs considering reliability and flexibility are highlighted.
Per‐unit transformation for the combined analysis of multi‐energy integration
Authors: Zhang Zhang , Wang Fei , Fan Hui 
Published: August 2024

AbstractTo handle numerical issues caused by dimensional differences among heterogeneous states in integrated energy systems (IES), this paper proposes a novel per‐unit transformation method and explores its applications to the partial differential equation‐governed models. Initially, a unified IES model is developed, which encompasses both fast and slow dynamics in a generalized form. Subsequently, the per‐unit transformation is consistently applied to the fast and slow dynamics of the IES within the unified model framework. The proposed method's theoretical proofs demonstrate its ability to preserve structure and reduce complexity. Simulation results in various cases validate the accuracy of the per‐unit model and verify the effectiveness of the transformation in reducing conditional numbers. This reduction is particularly significant for improving efficiency in the combined analysis of the IES.
Kochsalz in der Ernährung

Published: August 2024

ZusammenfassungNatrium ist ein essenzieller Mineralstoff, der jedoch nur in begrenzter Menge
zugeführt werden sollte. So zeigt die DEGS-Studie (DEGS: Deutsches Erwachsenen
Gesundheitssurvey), die sich mit der Salzzufuhr der deutschen Bevölkerung
beschäftigt, dass die mediane Speisesalzaufnahme bei 70% der Frauen und 80% der
Männer deutlich über der Empfehlung der DGE (Deutsche Gesellschaft für
Ernährung) von 6 g pro Tag liegt. Auch die Weltgesundheitsorganisation (WHO)
empfiehlt in ihren Leitlinien einen Orientierungswert zur Salzaufnahme von 5 g
pro Tag, was etwa einem Teelöffel entspricht. Kochsalz stellt einen wesentlichen
Einflussfaktor der Blutdruckregulation und des
Renin-Angiotensin-Aldosteron-Systems (RAAS) dar. Das Verständnis dieser
Regelkreise gewinnt zunehmend an Bedeutung, da die arterielle Hypertonie noch
immer eine der wesentlichen Todesursachen weltweit darstellt. Hier kann bereits
auf eine evidenzbasierte Datenlage zurückgegriffen werden, die eine schädliche
Wirkung einer erhöhten Kochsalzzufuhr belegt. Gegenstand aktueller Forschung
sind die Regulation der Salzspeicher in der Haut sowie die Beeinflussung des
Mikrobioms im Darm durch Kochsalz.

SummaryDie moderne Hypnotherapie kennt als integratives Verfahren zahlreiche Strategien, um in den Dialog mit dem eigenen Körper zu treten und den Kontakt zum Selbst aufzubauen. Körperorientierte Wahrnehmungsübungen sowie hypnotische Hilfestellung ermöglichen es, Belastungen und Störungen zu be- und verarbeiten. Die Selbstvertiefung bietet oft den entscheidenden Zugang und kann die Rückkehr zu einer Körper-Geist-Seele-Einheit einleiten. Das Fallbeispiel zeigt, wie die innere Arbeit auf Symbolebene Depersonalisation und Derealisation entgegenwirkt und zu einer erfolgreichen Erdung im eigenen Selbst sowie der erneuten Verwurzelung in der Welt führen kann.

SummaryMedizinische Leitlinien für die Behandlung unkomplizierter Harnwegsinfekte sprechen sich für die Anwendung von Meerrettich und Kapuzinerkresse als mögliche nebenwirkungsarme Antibiotika-Alternativen aus. Die enthaltenen Senföle überzeugen durch ihre Multi-Target-Strategie – indem sie unter anderem Stoffwechsel, Filmbildung und Anheftung der ursächlichen Bakterien hemmen – und könnten auch ein sinnvolles Adjuvans zur Antibiotikatherapie sein. In der Naturheilpraxis ist bei Zystitiden der ergänzende Einsatz weiterer Phytotherapeutika wie Brennnessel, Schafgarbe, Breitwegerich, Löwenzahn und Kahles Bruchkraut sinnvoll.
Asymmetric Intermolecular Conjugate Addition of 3-Substituted 2-Benzofuranones to Maleimides via Noncovalent NHC Catalysis
Authors: Mondal Bhaskar Deb , Gorai Sadhan , Guin Joyram 
Published: August 2024

AbstractAn efficient N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC)-catalyzed asymmetric conjugate addition reaction to afford synthetically challenging benzofuranone derivatives having vicinal all-carbon quaternary and tertiary stereocenters is presented. The reaction operates solely through noncovalent interaction between a newly designed NHC and the substrates, providing access to a series of functionalized benzofuranones in good yields and with high ee values. The protocol applies to preparative-scale synthesis. A catalytic cycle involving a noncovalent substrate–NHC interaction is implicated in the process, based on a mechanistic control study.

Abstract
Background Cognitive dysfunction is frequently seen in multiple sclerosis (MS). However, there are conflicting findings regarding the factors it is associated with.
Objective To investigate the relationship between aerobic capacity, strength, disability, depression, fatigue, and cognitive reserve and function.
Methods The mobile applications Trail Making Test (TMT A-B), Digit Span Test (DST), Visuospatial Memory Test (VSMT), and Tap Fast were used in the cognitive function evaluation. Functional performance was assessed with the 6-minute walk test (6MWT), 5-Time Sit-to-Sand (5STS) test, and grip strength. Cognitive Reserve Index (CRI), Beck Depression Inventory, Fatigue Severity Scale (FSS), and Nottingham Health Profile were also used.
Results A significant difference was found between the MS and control groups only in the 6MWT, STS-5, grip strength, TMT, VSMT, and Tap Fast. Good correlation was found between the TMT-A and 6MWT and physical mobility. A fair correlation was shown between grip strength, energy, and pain status. A good correlation was found between TMT-B and 6MWT, and a fair relationship with disability, cognitive reserve, and pain. Good correlation was observed between the DST and 6MWT, left grip strength, pain, and energy status; fair correlations were found between right grip strength, cognitive reserve, and physical mobility. Good correlation was found between the VSMT and energy. A fair relationship between disability, cognitive reserve, and pain was demonstrated. Good correlation was observed between the Tap Fast score and disability, 5STS, FSS, energy, and physical mobility. A fair relationship was found between pain and social isolation.
Conclusion It has been shown that cognitive performance in MS is related to disability, functional performance, cognitive reserve, fatigue, and general health.

Published: August 2024

Abstract
Background The magnetic resonance imaging-guided focused ultrasound (MRgFUS) has emerged as an innovative treatment for patients with medically refractory essential tremor (ET).
Objective This retrospective observational study aims to present the results of the first five patients with medically refractory ET who underwent MRgFUS treatment at this pioneering medical unit in Portugal.
Methods We conducted a retrospective chart review for the first five patients who underwent unilateral MRgFUS thalamotomy of the ventral intermediate (Vim) nucleus to treat medically refractory ET at our medical unit.
Results The mean patient age was 65.4 (26–84) years, and 60% were male. All patients had a family history of ET. The mean duration of disease was 17.4 years (range 10–24 years), and their dominant hand was the right. According to personal preference, the thalamotomy was performed on the left side in four patients, and on the right side in one. The MRgFUS thalamotomy led to significant improvements in both the clinical rating scale for tremor (CRST) score, by 62%, and the CRST composite score for the treated hand, by 73%. All patients experienced improvements in functionality and quality of life, by 52%. No severe adverse events were observed, and those that did occur during and following the procedure were mild and transient.
Conclusion The initial results from Portugal's first MRgFUS medical unit indicate promising outcomes, with improvement in quality of life, as well as mild and temporary adverse events These findings contribute to the growing body of literature supporting the efficacy and safety of MRgFUS as a viable treatment option for patients with medication-resistant ET.
Pediatric Neuropalliative Medicine

Published: August 2024

AbstractNeurological disease in childhood has significant impacts on not only physical well-being, but also on the social, environmental, and emotional health of the child, their family, and the larger community. Pediatric neuropalliative medicine is a recently developed area of subspecialty practice that supports families affected by serious neurological illness in navigating uncertain illness trajectories, refractory symptoms, and the myriad medical decisions that arise over the life of the child. Despite their medical needs, children with neurological diseases live full, joyful, and connected lives with their families, many of whom also experience personal growth and find meaning in their caregiving. Patients and families under the care of neurologists also face many systemic and interpersonal biases, both within the health care system and in the community, and encounter frequent gaps in their home and community-based supports. This chapter summarizes what is known about pediatric neuropalliative medicine and highlights the future research, educational, and clinical innovations that are needed to build more comprehensive and well-prepared systems to address unmet needs. Particularly in the modern era of child neurology practice where disease-modifying treatments are becoming increasingly available, pediatric neuropalliative medicine is an essential area of subspecialty practice that helps to support the personhood and quality of life of the individuals affected by serious illness and their families. As medicine helps more and more children with neurological impairment survive, medical treatment must include not only treatment for the physical body, but also care and support for the complexity of human experience of living with serious illness.

Large-volume presses (LVPs) providing large volumes, liquid media, deformation capability, jump compression, and in situ measurements are in great demand for high-pressure research, particularly in the fields of geoscience, condensed matter physics, material science, chemistry, and biology. A high-pressure and high-temperature (HPHT) platform with different LVP subsystems, both solid-state and liquid environments, and nonequilibrium subsystems, has been constructed at the Synergetic Extreme Condition User Facility, Jilin University. This article describes the construction of the different subsystems and provides an overview of the capabilities and characteristics of the different HPHT subsystems. A large sample volume (1000 mm3) at 20 GPa is achieved through the use of a belt-type apparatus in the solid-state subsystem. HPHT conditions (1.8 GPa and 1000 K) are realized in the liquid subsystem through the use of a piston–cylinder-type LVP with optical diamond windows for in situ spectroscopic measurements. A maximum pressure jump to 10.2 GPa can be reached within 20 ms in the nonequilibrium subsystem with the use of an improved bladder-pressurization jump press. Some typical results obtained with different LVPs are briefly reviewed to illustrate the applications and advantages of these presses. In summary, the platform described here has the potential to contribute greatly to high-pressure research and to innovations in high-pressure technology.
Variable seed quality hampers the use of Themeda triandra (Poaceae) for seed production, agriculture, research and restoration: a review
Authors: Durnin Marne , Dalziell Emma , Prober Suzanne M. , Marschner Petra 
Published: August 2024

Themeda triandra (Forssk.) is a tussock grass of international importance for its keystone role in grassy ecosystems and, hence, is often a focus for seed production, research and ecological restoration. However, these applications can be challenged by its seed biology, including seed dormancy and the variability of seed traits among populations. The literature on these topics has not been well synthesised. To address this, we reviewed the relevant literature for Themeda triandra seed and found that seed quality is often poor but highly variable, and there are no current quality-assurance standards. Seed characteristics such as weight, awn length and desiccation tolerance can vary with seed ploidy (i.e. the number of chromosome sets). Germination rates of fresh Themeda triandra seed can be as low as 5%, which may be due to seed dormancy. Dormancy varies among populations and with seasonal conditions, and a period of dry storage at room temperature for 8–10 months may be needed before it will reach its full germination potential. No single treatment is effective in overcoming dormancy across all populations. The application of gibberellic acid can increase germination by ~30% in some populations. Although plant-derived smoke products can be effective, they also lack standardisation. Other treatments including the application of heat, or wet–dry cycling warrant further investigation. We recommend the standardisation of Themeda triandra seed testing and labelling, which would allow end users to assess value for money when purchasing seed commercially.
Mohandas Gandhi and the uses of Esperanto
Authors: Bhattacharyya Bipasha 
Published: August 2024

Abstract
In the vast literature that deals with Mohandas Gandhi, very little attention has been paid to his opinions on
questions of language. This essay studies Gandhi’s use of the international auxiliary language, Esperanto, as a negative example
of a way to find a common language. Gandhi was willing and able to collaborate with Esperantists. And yet, Esperanto was
repeatedly invoked by Gandhi in order to attack it as an utopian ideal irrelevant in Indian contexts. Gandhi’s arguments against
Esperanto established the rejection of an internationalism of which he perceived Esperanto to be a part. His rejection of
Esperanto as an artificially constructed language is integral to his failure to acknowledge Hindi’s artificial construction and
imposition in South Indian contexts. The Gandhi-led All Indian Education Conference at Wardha (1937) is situated in this essay,
therefore, within a wider context of linguistic parochialisms.

Numerical simulation analysis of spiral cavitation heat generator
Authors: Lu Lin , Yang Xinglin , Bai Yike 
Published: August 2024

Abstract
A spiral cavitation heat generator is a new type of cavitation device. This article simulates and analyzes the spiral cavitation heat generator, uses Solidwork software to model, and the FLUENT software to simulate and calculate the distribution of flow field, temperature, and turbulent kinetic energy inside the spiral cavitation generator. When the outlet pressure is constant, the inlet pressure has an impact on the cavitation flow field, and within a certain range, the inlet pressure increases. The higher the maximum vapor content in the cavitation zone, the better the cavitation performance of the corresponding cavitation generator. The temperature of the liquid has an impact on the cavitation process. As the temperature increases, the saturated vapor pressure of the liquid increases, making it easier for cavitation to occur and bubbles to grow, thereby enhancing the cavitation effect; However, as the temperature increases, the amount of dissolved gas in the liquid decreases, thus reducing the number of gas nuclei that undergo cavitation. Both factors simultaneously affect the intensity of cavitation. The above research is of great significance and role in addressing the overall goal of peaking carbon emissions by 2030 and developing a key technical issue for a new heating method, namely the significant impact of mass transfer on reactions.

Abstract
Aqueous zinc-ion batteries (AZBs) have received increasing attention due to their high safety, high theoretical specific capacity, and abundant resources. However, the problems of zinc anode dendrite growth, hydrogen precipitation corrosion, and irreversible side reactions in AZIBs have restricted their application process. Electrolyte additives are an effective way to solve problems. This work looked at what would happen when 4-(2-hydroxyethyl) piperazine-1-ethane sulfonic acid (HEPES) was added to the ZnSO4 solution, which is the electrolyte. It was tested on AZIBs by using coin batteries as the carriers and adding HEPES to the electrolyte. The findings demonstrated that the electrolyte exhibited robust stability following HEPES addition, effectively suppressing dendrite growth through electric field modulation at the zinc anode. Incorporating 8 mM HEPES notably enhanced battery cycle longevity to over 240 hours under conditions of 0.2 mA cm−2 and 0.2 mAh cm−2. The HEPES additive was found to be effective in improving the rate capability through the testing of Zn||Zn symmetric batteries. This work provides a feasible idea for the performance improvement of low-cost and high-efficiency AZIBs.
