To address the challenges related to active power dissipation and node voltage fluctuation in the practical transformation of power grids in the field of new energy such as wind and photovoltaic power generation, an improved Dung Beetle Optimization Algorithm Based on a Hybrid Strategy of Levy Flight and Differential Evolution (LDEDBO) is proposed. This paper systematically addresses this issue from three aspects: firstly, optimizing the DBO algorithm using Chebyshev chaotic mapping, Levy flight strategy, and differential evolution algorithm; secondly, validating the algorithm's feasibility through real-time network reconfiguration at random time points within a 24-h period; and finally, applying the LDEDBO to address the dynamic reconfiguration problems of the IEEE-33 and IEEE-69 node bus. The simulation indicates that the power dissipation of the IEEE-33 node bus is decreased by 28.

Background: Rosmarinic acid (RA) is a natural phenolic compound that acts as a Fyn inhibitor by 53 homology modeling of the human Fyn structure. Therefore, the apoptosis mechanism related to  NF-κB signaling pathway induced by RA in HepG2 was investigated.

Methods: The cell growth, apoptosis, and proliferation of HepG2 regulated by various concentrations of RA were studied.

Background: Nostoc sphaeroides has been used as a highly effective herbal medicine and dietary supplement for thousands of years. The desired dark green colour of fresh N. sphaeroides is converted into an undesirable dark brown during conventional high pressure (HP) steam sterilisation.

Recent researches indicated that microgravity can increase pathogenic bacteria virulence. We presumed that microgravity might affect the toxin production of toxic cyanobacteria too. Microcystis aeruginosa PCC7806 was chosen as the model organism to investigate the effects of simulated microgravity (SMG) on the growth and toxin production of toxic cyanobacteria.
