Abstract This paper presents an advanced control strategy, termed enhanced adaptive super-twisting current-constrained algorithm (CCEASTA), to address overcurrent protection challenges and reject disturbances in non-cascade permanent magnet synchronous motors (PMSM) drives. The proposed strategy consists of two fundamental components. Firstly, a gain-adaptive super-twisting sliding mode controller with current constraints is designed in a non-cascade framework. The purpose of this structure is to suppress chattering, accelerate dynamic response, and ensure overcurrent protection. Secondly, a generalized proportional-integral observer (GPIO) is incorporated to estimate unknown state variables and external disturbances in real time. The estimates thus obtained facilitate feed-forward More >

Abstract Sorghum is a heat- and drought-tolerant cereal crop used for feed and food purposes in more than 100 countries. Sorghum becomes highly important in conditions of climate warming. The use of genome editing technologies is of paramount importance for this crop, which has a number of constraints in key agronomic traits that are difficult for improvement using conventional breeding. Application of genome editing for sorghum is limited due to problems of genetic transformation; however, recent advances in this field have increased the efficiency of the genome editing procedure in sorghum. This review summarizes recent achievements More >

Abstract Zero-day attacks pose a significant threat to computer systems and networks as they exploit weaknesses that have not been recognized by security professionals or software creators and for which there are no existing protective measures. This study introduced an innovative method for identifying Zero-day attacks through a Recurrent neural network model. To effectively mitigate these risks, not only is continuous monitoring essential, but also the implementation of machine learning. The model was trained on network traffic data and leveraged on the ability of Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs) to learn complex patterns and identify anomalies that… More >

Abstract To address the critical requirements for collaborative delivery of multiple tasks within each order in personalized mass customization, this paper develops a dynamic parallel machine scheduling model that accounts for stochastic machine failures and order priorities, thereby more accurately reflecting the uncertainties and complexities of real-world production environments. A dual-objective optimization framework is adopted to minimize both the makespan (maximum task completion time) and the variance of task completion times, aiming to improve the coordination and reliability of intra-order task delivery. An adaptive weighted reward function is designed to balance overall scheduling efficiency with consistency… More >

Abstract State of health (SoH) prediction of lithium-ion batteries is a critical yet challenging task due to the complex, highly non-linear, and time-dependent nature of degradation processes under diverse operating conditions. Variability in usage patterns, environmental factors, and electrochemical dynamics further limits the robustness and generalisation capability of conventional estimation models. This study proposes a hybrid deep learning framework that combines Gated Recurrent Units (GRUs) with Kolmogorov–Arnold Networks (KANs) to address these challenges. GRUs are employed to effectively capture temporal dependencies in sequential battery data, while KANs enhance the model’s ability to learn complex non-linear functional… More >

Abstract Background: Hidradenocarcinoma is a rare and highly aggressive malignancy with limited therapeutic options. This report describes the clinical course and treatment response of a patient with recurrent metastatic hidradenocarcinoma treated with sequential immunochemotherapy combined with anti-angiogenic therapy, with the aim of providing further insight into potential treatment strategies for this rare malignancy. Case Description: A 60-year-old male initially presented in 2020 with scrotal erythema and was diagnosed with hidradenocarcinoma after surgery. Despite surgical treatment, he developed recurrent disease with diffuse metastases. First-line chemoimmunotherapy (sintilimab, cisplatin, 5-fluorouracil; six cycles) achieved a progression-free survival (PFS) of 6 months. Following… More >

Abstract High voltage direct current (HVDC) systems play a pivotal role in long-distance, high-capacity, and cross-regional power transmission. However, their complex structure, wide-ranging impact of faults, and stringent safety requirements pose significant challenges to operational stability. Conventional model-based and data-driven methods for tasks such as text classification, fault diagnosis, and operation and maintenance support suffer from limited scalability and interpretability. Recent advances in large language model (LLM) provide new opportunities to address these issues. This paper provides a systematic review of LLM applications in HVDC systems. Firstly, it introduces the core architecture and training mechanisms of… More >

Abstract To address the operational challenges of power systems with high renewable penetration, this research targets the non-stationarity and stochasticity of wind power. A novel hybrid framework for probabilistic forecasting and risk assessment is proposed. Initially, Empirical Mode Decomposition (EMD) adaptively decomposes the raw power signal into multi-scale Intrinsic Mode Functions (IMFs) and a residual trend, effectively segregating temporal features and reducing complexity. These components are then fused with historical data to form a comprehensive input. The core predictor is a Bidirectional Gated Recurrent Unit (BiGRU) network enhanced with a Temporal Attention (TA) mechanism. The BiGRU… More >

Abstract Autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) play a crucial role in oceanographic research, monitoring the environment, and exploring resources in the ocean. Nevertheless, the operational efficiency of these devices is frequently constrained by the limited battery capacity and the requirement for charging while connected to a power source. Wireless power transfer (WPT) offers a non-contact alternative to conventional wet-mate electrical connectors, with inductive coupling receiving particular attention because of its relatively high efficiency, safety, and suitability for underwater charging over short transfer gaps. However, it is limited by the transfer distance, coil misalignment, coupler design constraints, and… More >
