Artificial intelligence-based power market price prediction in smart renewable energy systems: Combining prophet and transformer models.

With the increasing integration of smart renewable energy systems and power electronic converters, electricity market price prediction is particularly important. It is not only crucial for the interests of power suppliers and market regulators but also plays a key role in ensuring the reliable and flexible operation of the power system, particularly during extreme weather events or abnormal conditions. This study develops a hybrid time series forecasting model that combines Prophet and Transformer, which takes advantage of deep learning to provide a new solution for electricity market price forecasting.

Tertiary Lymphoid Structures Gene Signature Predicts Prognosis and Immune Infiltration Analysis in Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma.

Objectives: This study aims to assess the prognostic implications of gene signature of the tertiary lymphoid structures (TLSs) in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) and scrutinize the influence of TLS on immune infiltration.

Methods: Patients with HNSCC from the Cancer Genome Atlas were categorized into high/low TLS signature groups based on the predetermined TLS signature threshold. The association of the TLS signature with the immune microenvironment, driver gene mutation status, and tumor mutational load was systematically analyzed.

Effect of Tube Diameters and Functional Groups on Adsorption and Suspension Behaviors of Carbon Nanotubes in Presence of Humic Acid.

The adsorption and suspension behaviors of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) in the water environment determine the geochemical cycle and ecological risk of CNTs and the compounds attached to them. In this study, CNTs were selected as the research object, and the effect of tube diameters and functional groups (multiwall CNTs (MWNTs) and hydroxylated MWNTs (HMWNTs)) on the adsorption and suspension behaviors of the CNTs in the presence of humic acid (HA) was systematically analyzed. The results indicate that HA adsorption decreased with the increase in the solution pH, and the adsorption amount and rate were negatively correlated with the tube diameter of the CNTs.

Impact of montmorillonite clay on the homo- and heteroaggregation of titanium dioxide nanoparticles (nTiO) in synthetic and natural waters.

The homoaggregation of titanium dioxide nanoparticles (nTiO) and their heteroaggregation with ubiquitous natural clay colloids are crucial processes affecting the environmental transport and fate of nTiO, whereas the latter has received less attention. In this study, the effects of pH, electrolytes, natural organic matter (NOM), and montmorillonite on the homo- and heteroaggregation of nTiO were systematically investigated. The isoelectric point of bare nTiO was 6.

Aggregation and stability of sulfate-modified polystyrene nanoplastics in synthetic and natural waters.

Nanoplastics (NPs) are becoming emerging pollutants of global concern. Understanding the environmental behavior of NPs is crucial for their environmental and human risk assessment. In this study, the aggregation and stability of polystyrene (PS) NPs were investigated under different hydrochemical conditions such as pH, salt type (NaCl, CaCl, NaSO), ionic strength (IS), and natural organic matter (NOM).

Adsorption, aggregation and sedimentation of titanium dioxide nanoparticles and nanotubes in the presence of different sources of humic acids.

Environmental behavior, bioavailability and risks posed by TiO, nanomaterials (TiO NMs) in surface waters are affected by morphologies of the particles and geochemistry, including pH, inorganic and organic matter. Here, the adsorption, aggregation and sedimentation of TiO nanoparticles (TiO NPs) and nanotubes (TiO NTs) were investigated in the presence of Elliott Soil humic acid (HA) and Suwannee River humic acids (HA). The adsorption amount of HA on TiO NMs was inversely proportional to pH of solution.

Effects of fulvic acid on aggregation, sedimentation, and adsorption of FeO magnetic nanoparticles.

Environmental behavior, bioavailability, and risks posed by FeO, magnetic nanoparticles (FeO NPs) in surface waters are affected by complex geochemistry, including pH and inorganic and organic matter. This work provides a systematic analysis of adsorption of fulvic acid (FA) on surfaces of FeO NPs with adsorption kinetics, adsorption thermodynamic, and adsorption isotherm. Adsorption of FA on surfaces of FeO NPs is consistent with assumptions of Langmuir and Freundlich adsorption isotherm models.

Transcatheter arterial chemoembolization monotherapy vs combined transcatheter arterial chemoembolization-percutaneous microwave coagulation therapy for massive hepatocellular carcinoma (≥10 cm).

Background: The prognosis of massive hepatocellular carcinomas (MHCCs; ≥10 cm) remains worse.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical benefits of transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) or TACE combined with percutaneous microwave coagulation therapy (PMCT) and the long-term survival rate of MHCC patients treated with these techniques.

Patients And Methods: A retrospective study was performed using data involving 102 MHCC patients admitted to the Second Hospital of Nanjing from September 2010 to August 2015.

Molecular characterization of macrophyte-derived dissolved organic matters and their implications for lakes.

Chemical properties of whole organic matter (OM) and its dissolved organic matter (DOM) extracted from three types of dominant macrophytes in Lake Dianchi were comparatively characterized using elemental analysis, UV, 3D-EEM and C NMR spectroscopy and their implications for lakes were discussed. Ratios of C/N and C/P were least in the floating water hyacinth and submerged sago pondweed, while total dissolved nitrogen (TDN) and phosphorus (TDP), dissolved organic nitrogen (DON) and phosphorus (DOP) were greatest in those species. In emergent species, C/N, C/P, DON and DON/TDN were less in leaves than in their corresponding shoots.

Amendment of water quality standards in China: viewpoint on strategic considerations.

Water quality standards (WQS) are the most important tool for protection of quality of aquatic environments in China and play a decisive role in the management of China's aquatic environments. Due to limited scientific information available previously, WQS were developed largely based on water quality criteria (WQC) or WQS recommended by developed countries, which may not be suitable for current circumstances in China. The Chinese government recently initiated the revision of Environmental Quality Standards for Surface Water (EQSSW) (GB3838-2002) to meet the challenge of environmental protection.

Magnetic Nanoparticles Interaction with Humic Acid: In the Presence of Surfactants.

Adsorbed humic acid (HA) on surfaces of nanoparticles (NPs) will affect their transport, transfer, and fate in the aquatic environment, especially in the presence of surfactants, and thereby potentially alter exposures and bioavailable fractions of NPs and surfactants. This study investigated adsorption of HA on Fe3O4 NPs in the presence or absence of surfactant. Surfactant established a bridge connecting HA and Fe3O4 NPs, and significantly changed adsorption behavior of HA on NPs.
