Abstract Grid-Forming (GFM) converters are prone to fault-induced overcurrent and power angle instability during grid fault-induced voltage sags. To address this, this paper develops a multi-loop coordinated fault ride-through (FRT) control strategy based on a power outer loop and voltage-current inner loops, aiming to enhance the stability and current-limiting capability of GFM converters during grid fault conditions. During voltage sags, the GFM converter’s voltage source behavior is maintained by dynamically adjusting the reactive power reference to provide voltage support, thereby effectively suppressing the steady-state component of the fault current. To address the active power imbalance induced… More >

Abstract Background: Pulmonary fibrosis is an irreversible lung disorder that currently has a limited number of effective therapeutic strategies. Taraxasterol (TAR), a bioactive triterpenoid isolated from plants used in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), possesses anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activities. However, its precise role in pulmonary fibrosis remains incompletely defined. This study aimed to elucidate whether TAR alleviates pulmonary fibrosis by modulating Protein Phosphatase 2 Scaffold Subunit Abeta (PPP2R1B) expression. Methods: A bleomycin-induced murine model of pulmonary fibrosis and a transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) stimulated mouse lung fibroblast cell line (MLg) were established. To evaluate the effects of… More >

Abstract The increasing need for sustainable energy and the environmental impacts of reliance on fossil fuels have sparked greater interest in biomass as a renewable energy source. This review provides an in-depth assessment of bio-oil and biochar generation through the pyrolysis of sawdust, a significant variety of lignocellulosic biomass. The paper investigates different thermochemical conversion methods, including fast, slow, catalytic, flash, and co-pyrolysis, while emphasizing their operational parameters, reactor designs, and effects on product yields. The influence of temperature, heating rate, and catalysts on enhancing the quality and quantity of bio-oil and biochar is thoroughly analyzed. More > Graphic Abstract

Abstract Under the driving goal of carbon neutrality, biogas reforming technology has garnered significant attention due to its ability to convert greenhouse gases (CH₄/CO₂) into syngas (H₂/CO). Conventional nickel-based catalysts suffer from issues such as carbon deposition, sintering and sulfur poisoning. Non-nickel-based perovskite materials, with their tunable crystal structure, dynamic oxygen vacancy characteristics, and excellent anti-coking/anti-sulfur performance, have emerged as a promising alternative. This review systematically summarizes the design for non-nickel-based perovskite materials, including optimizing lattice oxygen migration ability and active site stability by A/B site doping, defect engineering and heterojunction construction. The enhancing the conversion rate… More > Graphic Abstract

Abstract The process of including renewable energy sources in power networks is moving quickly, so the need for innovative configuration solutions for grid-side ESS has grown. Among the new methods presented in this paper is GA-OCESE, which stands for Genetic Algorithm-based Optimization Configuration for Energy Storage in Electric Networks. This is one of the methods suggested in this study, which aims to enhance the sizing, positioning, and operational characteristics of structured ESS under dynamic grid conditions. Particularly, the aim is to maximize efficiency. A multiobjective genetic algorithm, the GA-OCESE framework, considers all these factors simultaneously. Besides… More >

Abstract The integration of large-scale new energy and high-capacity DC transmission leads to a reduction in system inertia. Grid-forming renewable energy sources (GF-RES) has a significant improvement effect on system inertia. Commutation failure faults may cause a short-term reactive power surplus at the sending end and trigger transient overvoltage, threatening the safe and stable operation of the power grid. However, there is a lack of research on the calculation method of transient overvoltage caused by commutation failure in high-voltage DC transmission systems with grid-forming renewable energy sources integration. Based on the existing equivalent model of high-voltage… More >

Abstract Background: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a prevalent liver malignancy. This study examined the roles of transforming growth factor beta (TGF-β) and cytochrome b5 domain containing 2 (CYB5D2) in HCC etiology and their prognostic biomarker potential.
