Co-Optimization Operation of Distribution Network-Containing Shared Energy Storage Multi-Microgrids Based on Multi-Body Game.

Under the carbon peaking and carbon neutrality target background, efficient collaborative scheduling between distribution networks and multi-microgrids is of great significance for enhancing renewable energy accommodation and ensuring stable system operation. Therefore, this paper proposes a collaborative optimization method for the operation of distribution networks and multi-microgrids with shared energy storage based on a multi-body game. The method is modeled and solved in two stages.

Treatment strategy for patient with non-syndromic tooth agenesis: a case report and literature review.

Background: Non-syndromic tooth agenesis (NSTA) is a type of ectodermal dysplasia (ED) in which patients with non-syndromic oligodontia may only affect teeth. No pathological findings were found in other tissues of the ectodermal. Herein, we report a case of a NSTA patient with severe dental anxiety and poor oral health.

A flexible nanofiber membrane containing dendritic oxygen probe for visual monitoring pressure distribution.

Pressure-sensitive paints (PSP) enable non-intrusive visualization of surface pressure distribution on model surface which is important for aerodynamic studies. However, conventional PSP materials suffer from photobleaching and inadequate sensitivity. In this work, we rationally designed and synthesized novel dendritic oxygen probes (PT1 and PT2) by covalently grafting fluorinated dendrons onto platinum tetrakis(pentafluorophenyl)porphyrin (PT0) (a common oxygen probe).

Evaluation of a novel disposable endoscope for retroflexed endoscopic rubber band ligation of internal hemorrhoids: a randomized pilot study.

Purpose: Retroflexed endoscopic rubber band ligation (ERBL) for treating Grade II and III internal hemorrhoids using disposable endoscopes has not been previously assessed. We therefore compared the safety and effectiveness of ERBL for internal hemorrhoids using novel disposable endoscopes versus traditional reusable endoscopes.

Methods: This prospective randomized controlled trial involved 42 patients who underwent ERBL for Grade II and III internal hemorrhoids using either a disposable endoscope (n = 21) or a reusable endoscope (n = 21).

Performance and mechanism of chromium reduction in denitrification biofilm system with different carbon sources.

In the process of biological reduction of Cr(VI), the type of carbon sources affects the rate and effect of Cr(VI) reduction, but its specific performance and influencing mechanism have not yet been explored. In this study, four denitrification biofilm reactors were operated under four common carbon sources (CHO, CHCOONa, CHOH, CHCOONa:CHO 1:1) to reveal the impact of carbon sources on Cr(VI) reduction. Through preliminary experimental concentration research, 75 mg/L Cr(VI) was selected as the dosing concentration.

Self-construal modulates context-based social comparison preferences in outcome evaluations.

Self-construal (SC) describes how people perceive the relationship between themselves and others and is usually divided into interdependent and independent types. Several studies have been conducted on how people with independent and interdependent SC process their own and others' outcomes. However, few studies have investigated the influence of SC on outcome evaluation in a social comparison context.

The Association of Volunteer Motivation and Thriving at Work of College Students During COVID-19: Job Burnout and Psychological Capital as Mediators.

Thriving at work is a type of mental state in which an individual feels vigorous and learning at the same time in the job. Previous studies have shown that individual internal motivation is relevant to thriving at work and volunteer behaviors, but the role of motivation is still to be further explored. Based self-determination theory, this study focuses on the mediating effects of job burnout and psychological capital on the relationship between volunteer motivation and thriving at work.

Rotigotine is a non-ergoline dopamine agonist that has been licensed for the treatment of Parkinson's disease. Cardiovascular diseases are the world's leading cause of death. Ox-LDL- induced endothelial damages are involved in the initiation and progression of cardiovascular diseases.

Diagnostic Value of VDR in Bone Metastasis and Prognosis of Patients with Breast Cancer and Expression Correlation between Vitamin D Receptor and Hairless Protein.

Background: Breast cancer is more likely to metastasize to the bone. Previous researches have revealed that the vitamin D receptor (VDR) contributes to breast cancer progression and bone metastasis in mouse and human breast cells, and hairless (Hr) protein interacts with VDR in the mammalian hair cycle. This study aimed to explore the expression of VDR/Hr in breast cancer, and the correlation between VDR/Hr and prognosis, bone metastasis, and metastasis-related prognosis.

Methods: prospectively recruit post-cardiac surgery patients who were about to extubating from Febuary 2019 to September 2019. A fast-track extubation ultrasound score protocol (FTE-USP) was developed on the basis of the conventional fast-track extubation standard precisely and individualized.

Comparative metabolomics analysis of donkey colostrum and mature milk using ultra-high-performance liquid tandem chromatography quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry.

Donkey milk has been widely shown to be an ideal substitute for human milk because of its similar composition. However, alterations to the composition of donkey milk during lactation have not been well studied. In this study, untargeted metabolomics with ultra-high-performance liquid tandem chromatography quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry were used to analyze and compare the metabolites in donkey colostrum (DC) and mature milk (DMM).

Easily Synthesized Polyaniline@Cellulose Nanowhiskers Better Tune Network Structures in Ag-Based Adhesives: Examining the Improvements in Conductivity, Stability, and Flexibility.

It is essential to develop a novel and versatile strategy for constructing electrically conductive adhesives (ECAs) that have superior conductivity and high mechanical properties. In this work, easily synthesized polyaniline@cellulose (PANI@CNs) nanowhiskers with a high aspect ratio and excellent solubility in 1,4-dioxane were prepared and added to conventional Ag-containing adhesives. A small amount of PANI@CNs can dramatically tune the structure of the ECAs' conductive network and significantly improve the conductivity of the ECAs.

In this study, a simple solution-mixing method is used to develop a kind of excellent flexible, electrically conductive adhesives (ECAs). Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and carbon blacks (CBs) as cofillers were added into Ag-based pastes. The use of the two fillers is due to the consideration that these two materials may provide positive synergistic effects for improving the conductivity of ECAs.

Vibration Training Triggers Brown Adipocyte Relative Protein Expression in Rat White Adipose Tissue.

Recently, vibration training is considered as a novel strategy of weight loss; however, its mechanisms are still unclear. In this study, normal or high-fat diet-induced rats were trained by whole body vibration for 8 weeks. We observed that the body weight and fat metabolism index, blood glucose, triglyceride, cholesterol, and free fatty acid in obesity rats decreased significantly compared with nonvibration group (n = 6).

Overexpression of Trpp5 contributes to cell proliferation and apoptosis probably through involving calcium homeostasis.

Trpp5 is one member of the polycystic kidney disease (PKD) family, which belongs to transient receptor potential (TRP) superfamily. Our previous study has shown that Trpp5 is developmentally expressed in mouse testis and overexpression of Trpp5 increases intracellular free calcium concentration in MDCK cells. However, the roles of this protein in cellular processes are largely unknown.

Down-regulation of Pkd2 by siRNAs suppresses cell-cell adhesion in the mouse melanoma cells.

The Pkd2 gene encodes an integral protein (~130 kDa), named polycystin-2 (PC-2). PC-2 is mainly involved in autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease. Recently, polycystin-1/polycystin-2 complex has been shown to act as an adhesion complex mediating or regulating cell-cell or cell-matrix adhesion, suggesting that PC-2 may play a role in cell-cell/cell-matrix interactions.
