Controlling the energies of the single-rotor large wind turbine system using a new controller.

In wind energy generation systems, ensuring high energy quality is critical but is often compromised due to the limited performance and durability of conventional regulators. To address this, this work presents a novel controller for managing the machine-side inverter of a single-rotor large wind turbine system using an induction machine-type generator. The proposed controller is designed using proportional, integral, and derivative error-based mechanisms, which fundamentally differ from traditional proportional-integral (PI) regulators.

PaleAle 6.0: Prediction of Protein Relative Solvent Accessibility by Leveraging Pre-Trained Language Models (PLMs).

Predicting the relative solvent accessibility (RSA) of a protein is critical to understanding its 3D structure and biological function. RSA prediction, especially when homology transfer cannot provide information about a protein's structure, is a significant step toward addressing the protein structure prediction challenge. Today, deep learning is arguably the most powerful method for predicting RSA and other structural features of proteins.

Explainable AI in Diagnostic Radiology for Neurological Disorders: A Systematic Review, and What Doctors Think About It.

Artificial intelligence (AI) has recently made unprecedented contributions in every walk of life, but it has not been able to work its way into diagnostic medicine and standard clinical practice yet.
