Independently run single microgrids (MGs) encounter difficulties with inadequate self-consumption of local renewable energy and frequent power exchange with the grid. Combining numerous MGs to form a multi-microgrid (MMG) is a viable approach to enhance smart distribution networks' operational and financial performance. However, the correlation and coordination of intermittent power generation within each MG network pose many techno-economic challenges for energy sharing and trading. This review offers a comprehensive analysis of these challenges within the framework of MMG operations. It examines state-of-the-art methodologies for optimizing multi-energy dispatch and scrutinizes contemporary strategies within energy markets that contribute to the resilience of power systems. The discourse extends to the burgeoning role of blockchain technology in revolutionizing decentralized market frameworks and the intricacies of MMG coordination for reliable and cost-effective energy distribution. Overall, this study provides ample inspiration for theoretical and practical research to the new entrants and experts alike to develop new concepts for energy markets, scheduling and novel operating models for future resilient multi-energy networked systems/MMGs.

Automated agricultural robots are becoming more common with the decreased cost of sensor devices and increased computational capabilities of single-board computers. Weeding is one of the mundane and repetitive tasks that robots could be used to perform. The detection of weeds in crops is now common, and commercial solutions are entering the market rapidly.

Background: Community-dwelling older adults are at risk of malnutrition due to age-related declines in energy and nutrient intake. While the positive effect of dining companions on energy and nutrient intake has been suggested, evidence remains inconclusive. This study investigated the association between the number of dining companions and energy and nutrient intake, as well as the contribution of specific food groups to higher intake in the presence of dining companions.

The substantial evidence supporting the ketogenic diet (KD) in epilepsy management has spurred research into its effects on other neurological and psychiatric conditions. Despite differences in characteristics, symptoms, and underlying mechanisms, these conditions share common pathways that the KD may influence. The KD reverses metabolic dysfunction.

The electrodes of thin film transistors (TFTs) have evolved from conventional single Cu layers to multi-layered structures formed by Cu and other metals or alloys. Different etching rates of various metals and galvanic corrosion between distinct metals may cause etching defects such as rough or uneven cross-sectional surfaces of stacked electrodes. Therefore, the etching of stacked electrodes faces new challenges.
