The microgrid (MG) faces significant security issues due to the two-way power and information flow. Integrating an Energy Management System (EMS) to balance energy supply and demand in Malaysian microgrids, this study designs a Fuzzy Logic Controller (FLC) that considers intermittent renewable sources and fluctuating demand patterns. FLC offers a flexible solution to energy scheduling effectively assessed by MATLAB/Simulink simulations.

Despite potential contamination, tap water remains the primary source of drinking in megacities. However, the sources of heavy metal(oid)s contamination and associated health hazards have not been thoroughly addressed in many developing cities, including Dhaka. Therefore, we made the first attempt to assess tap water quality in Dhaka City using indices, identify pollution sources with state-of-the-art techniques, and quantify associated health risks.

Once IL-1β binds to its cognate receptor it initiates IL-1R1/TLR4 signaling cascade, leading to transcriptional modifications that sustain the inflammatory response. Extensive structural and functional investigations on IL-1β have yielded various inhibitors aimed at disrupting the formation of ligand receptor complex.

Traditional detection methods often struggle with challenges such as imbalanced datasets, limiting their ability to identify rare arrhythmia types. This study proposes a novel hybrid approach that integrates ConvNeXt-X deep learning models with advanced data balancing techniques to improve arrhythmia classification accuracy.
