Abstract To ensure frequency stability in power systems with high wind penetration, the doubly-fed induction generator (DFIG) is often used with the frequency fast response control (FFRC) to participate in frequency response. However, a certain output power suppression amount (OPSA) is generated during frequency support, resulting in the frequency modulation (FM) capability of DFIG not being fully utilised, and the system’s unbalanced power will be increased during speed recovery, resulting in a second frequency drop (SFD) in the system. Firstly, the frequency response characteristics of the power system with DFIG containing FFRC are analysed. Then, based… More >

Abstract Hypersonic aircraft face complex aerodynamic forces and severe aerothermal issues. While aerodynamic and aerothermal empirical solutions exhibit high computational efficiency, they lack precision. Numerical approaches equipped with accuracy but come with high computational costs. To address the contradiction between precision and efficiency, some research on hypersonic unsteady aerodynamic and aerothermal Reduced Order Models (ROMs) was conducted in this study, using Kriging surrogate method.
Meanwhile, hypersonic aircraft typically feature numerous thin-wall structures. The strong coupling of aerodynamic, aerothermal, and elasticity will inevitably lead to aerothermoelastic effects. This study centered on the Thermal Protection System (TPS) panel… More >

Abstract Triply periodic minimal surface (TPMS) shell-lattices are attracting increasing attention because of their exceptional mechanical and geometric characteristics. Additive manufactured TPMS structures using thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) have great application potential in energy absorptions, for which the mechanical properties can be conveniently adjusted to meet diverse requirements. Nevertheless, there is a need for further improvement in the stability and adjustability of energy absorption capacity. This is due to the significant impact of the buckling effect and induced stress fluctuations when the structure is subjected to compression. To alleviate the buckling effect and tune the capability of… More >

Abstract Heavy metal contamination in the environment, resulting from human activities or natural processes, poses a significant and widespread challenge. L-glutamic (L-glu) and L-aspartic acid (L-asp) treatments have been reported to improve plant metabolism of heavy metal-exposed plants, but the role of these amino acids in the resistance to lead (Pb²⁺), cadmium (Cd²⁺), arsenic (As³⁺) and nickel (Ni²⁺) treated-bean are unclear when applied together. This study investigated the L-glu and L-asp supplementation-induced changes in some physio-biochemical parameters and some stress-related gene expression levels in Pb²⁺, Cd²⁺, As³⁺, and Ni²⁺-stressed Phaseolus vulgaris (Elkoca and Gina) grown in nutrient solution. The combination of… More >

Abstract Aiming at the limitations of the existing railway foreign object detection methods based on two-dimensional (2D) images, such as short detection distance, strong influence of environment and lack of distance information, we propose Rail-PillarNet, a three-dimensional (3D) LIDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) railway foreign object detection method based on the improvement of PointPillars. Firstly, the parallel attention pillar encoder (PAPE) is designed to fully extract the features of the pillars and alleviate the problem of local fine-grained information loss in PointPillars pillars encoder. Secondly, a fine backbone network is designed to improve the feature extraction… More >

Abstract The DNS over HTTPS (Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure) (DoH) is a new technology that encrypts DNS traffic, enhancing the privacy and security of end-users. However, the adoption of DoH is still facing several research challenges, such as ensuring security, compatibility, standardization, performance, privacy, and increasing user awareness. DoH significantly impacts network security, including better end-user privacy and security, challenges for network security professionals, increasing usage of encrypted malware communication, and difficulty adapting DNS-based security measures. Therefore, it is important to understand the impact of DoH on network security and develop new privacy-preserving techniques to allow More >

Abstract Understanding how summer warming influences the parent and daughter shoot production in a perennial clonal grass is vital for comprehending the response of grassland productivity to global warming. Here, we conducted a simulated experiment using potted Leymus chinensis, to study the relationship between the photosynthetic activity of parent shoots and the production of daughter shoots under a whole (90 days) summer warming scenario (+3°C). The results showed that the biomass of parents and buds decreased by 25.52% and 33.45%, respectively, under warming conditions. The reduction in parent shoot biomass due to warming directly resulted from decreased… More >

Abstract Cookies are considered a fundamental means of web application services for authenticating various Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) requests and maintains the states of clients’ information over the Internet. HTTP cookies are exploited to carry client patterns observed by a website. These client patterns facilitate the particular client’s future visit to the corresponding website. However, security and privacy are the primary concerns owing to the value of information over public channels and the storage of client information on the browser. Several protocols have been introduced that maintain HTTP cookies, but many of those fail to achieve More >

Abstract The fruits of Amomum tsao-ko (Cao-Guo) were documented in Chinese Pharmacopoeia for the treatment of abdominal pain, vomiting, and plague. In our previous study, a series of diarylheptanes and flavonoids with α-glucosidase and protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B) inhibitory activity have been reported from the middle-polarity part of A. tsao-ko, whereas the antidiabetic potency of the low-polarity constituents is still unclear. In this study, three new hydroxytetradecenals, (2E, 4E, 8Z, 11Z)-6R-hydroxytetradeca-2,4,8,11-tetraenal (1), (2E, 4E, 8Z)-6R-hydroxytetradeca-2,4,8-trienal (2) and (2E, 4E)-6R-hydroxytetradeca-2,4-dienal (3) were obtained from the volatile oils of A. tsao-ko. The structures of compounds 1–3 were determined using spectroscopic data involving 1D and 2D nuclear magnetic More >
