Energy hubs, with their diverse regeneration and storage sources, can engage concurrently in energy transfer and storage. It is anticipated that managing the energy of these hubs within energy networks could enhance economic, environmental, and technical metrics. This article explains how electrical and thermal network hubs manage their energy consumption in the context of the multi-criteria objectives of efficiency, sustainability, reliability of the network operator, and operation. The hubs have solar power, a bio-waste unit, and wind turbines among other sustainable energy sources. They have compressed air, heat, and hydrogen storage units installed. Thermal energy is produced by means of a heat pump from electrical energy. Combining heat and power technology is used by both the bio-waste unit and the hydrogen storage unit. Subject to the operating model and reliability restrictions of these networks, the suggested strategy seeks to reduce the overall estimated costs of energy procurement, dependability, and emissions within the designated networks. Additional constraints of the problem encompass the operational model of sources and storages, conceptualized as an energy hub. This plan takes into account uncertainties about demand, energy costs, renewable energy sources, and the availability of network equipment. Reliability is accurately predicted by scenario-based techniques to stochastic optimization. The simultaneous modeling of economic, operational, reliability, and environmental indicators as well as the evaluation of the capabilities of heat pumps, biowaste units, compressed air and hydrogen storage units, and heat pumps in the hub performance are seen to be the new aspects of this approach. In summary, numerical results validate the usefulness of the proposed approach in enhancing the technical and financial aspects of thermal and electrical networks via efficient hub energy management. The incorporation of renewable hubs, equipped with storage units and heat pumps, has led to improvements in the economic, operational, reliability, and environmental conditions by approximately 44.1%, 28-90%, 85.6%, and 72.1% respectively, in comparison to load distribution studies.

Migrasomes, the vesicle-like membrane micro-structures, arise on the retraction fibers (RFs), the branched nano-tubules pulled out of cell plasma membranes during cell migration and shaped by membrane tension. Migrasomes form in two steps: a local RF bulging is followed by a protein-dependent stabilization of the emerging spherical bulge. Here we addressed theoretically and experimentally the previously unexplored mechanism of bulging of membrane tubular systems.

Hardware system customized toward the demands of graph neural network learning would promote efficiency and strong temporal processing for graph-structured data. However, most amorphous/polycrystalline oxides-based memristors commonly have unstable conductance regulation due to random growth of conductive filaments. And graph neural networks based on robust and epitaxial film memristors can especially improve energy efficiency due to their high endurance and ultra-low power consumption.

Transitioning to a power system heavily reliant on renewable wind energy involves more than just replacing conventional fossil-fuel-based power plant with wind farms, the wind energy must be able to meet the requirement of voltage establishment and power balance. It is believed that the self synchronized voltage source control of DFIG wind turbine generator is one of the possible solutions to realize virtual inertia and is helpful to increase the frequency stability of power system, thus is meaningful in the transformation of the power system dominated by renewable energy. Plenty of research has been conducted on the self synchronized voltage source control strategy in steady state, but few research is focused on the soft grid integration, which is a complicated process involving wind turbine control and power converter control.

Time-resolved coherent Raman spectroscopy (CRS) is a powerful non-linear optical technique for quantitative, in-situ analysis of chemically reacting flows, offering unparalleled accuracy and exceptional spatiotemporal resolution. Its application to large polyatomic molecules, crucial for understanding reaction dynamics, has thus far been limited by the complexity of their rotational-vibrational Raman spectra. Progress in developing comprehensive spectral codes for these molecules, a longstanding goal, has been hindered by prohibitively long computation times required for their spectral synthesis.

The application of high-pressure grinding rolls (HPGR) for ore crushing is considered to be one of the effective ways to save energy and reduce emissions in the ore processing industry. The crushing effect is directly determined by the forces of ore material during roll crushing. However, the mechanical state of ore material in roll crushing and the effect of roll structure, process parameters, feed particle size, on the force during the crushing of ore material needs to be expanded.
