This study introduces a novel technique for achieving the global peak (GP) in solar photovoltaic (PV) systems under partial shadowing conditions (PSC) using the Dandelion Optimizer Algorithm (DOA), inspired by the dispersal of dandelion seeds in the wind. The proposed approach aims to enhance the power generation efficiency of PV systems across various scenarios, including dynamic uniform, dynamic PSCs, static uniform irradiances, and static PSCs. The proposed approach improves tracking efficiency, provides non-oscillatory steady-state responses, and reduces transients as well as enhancing the dynamic performance of the whole system.

Low ripples and variations in the DC-Bus voltage in single-phase Photovoltaic/Battery Energy Storage (PV/BES) grid-connected systems may cause significant harmonics distortion, instability, and reduction in power factor. The use of short-life electrolytic capacitor on the DC-Bus is considered a standard way for reducing these ripples and variations because of its large capacitance but results in short lifetime of the inverter. Replacing large electrolytic capacitors with small film capacitors can extend the lifetime of a PV/BES grid-connected system because small film capacitors have longer lifetime than large electrolytic capacitors.

Roxb (SGR) has been widely applied alone or in combination with other Chinese herbs in heart failure (HF), but its mechanism and protective effect have not been investigated. We aimed to explore the mechanism and protective effect of SGR on the treatment of HF. Network pharmacology analysis predicted that SGR was involved in the regulation of cell proliferation, oxidation-reduction process, apoptotic process, ERK1 and ERK2 cascade, MAPK cascade, etc.

Wearable sensors are emerging as a new technology to detect physiological and biochemical markers for remote health monitoring. By measuring vital signs such as respiratory rate, body temperature, and blood oxygen level, wearable sensors offer tremendous potential for the noninvasive and early diagnosis of numerous diseases such as Covid-19. Over the past decade, significant progress has been made to develop wearable sensors with high sensitivity, accuracy, flexibility, and stretchability, bringing to reality a new paradigm of remote health monitoring.

  • The study aimed to create a high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method for analyzing three compounds—emodin, chrysophanol, and physcion—from various parts of Berchemia lineata.
  • Researchers used a specific HPLC setup with a Diamonsil ODS C18 column, methanol-phosphoric acid as the mobile phase, and detected compounds at a UV wavelength of 254 nm.
  • Results showed that the method achieved a high recovery rate and revealed that the root part of Berchemia lineata contained more total anthraquinones than the stem, indicating the method's effectiveness for quality control.

  • The study aimed to investigate the inorganic elements in the plant Polygonum multiflorum by measuring various elements using ICP-AEC.
  • Wild specimens of P. multiflorum were found to have significantly higher levels of certain elements (Al, Ca, K, Mg, Sr, Ti) compared to cultivated ones, while other elements showed no significant differences.
  • Principal component analysis (PCA) revealed that Al, B, Ba, Fe, Na, Ni, Ti, Ca, and Sr are characteristic elements of P. multiflorum, with a notable variation in element distribution from samples taken in Tianyang.
