Abstract The virtual synchronous generator (VSG) technology has been proposed to address the problem of system frequency and active power oscillation caused by grid-connected new energy power sources. However, the traditional voltage-current double-closed-loop control used in VSG has the disadvantages of poor disturbance immunity and insufficient dynamic response. In light of the issues above, a virtual synchronous generator voltage outer-loop control strategy based on improved linear autonomous disturbance rejection control (ILADRC) is put forth for consideration. Firstly, an improved first-order linear self-immunity control structure is established for the characteristics of the voltage outer loop; then, the… More >

Abstract With the increasing proportion of renewable energy in China’s energy structure, among which photovoltaic power generation is also developing rapidly. As the photovoltaic (PV) power output is highly unstable and subject to a variety of factors, it brings great challenges to the stable operation and dispatch of the power grid. Therefore, accurate short-term PV power prediction is of great significance to ensure the safe grid connection of PV energy. Currently, the short-term prediction of PV power has received extensive attention and research, but the accuracy and precision of the prediction have to be further improved. More > Graphic Abstract

Abstract Stem cells have shown great application potential in wound repair, tissue regeneration, and disease treatment. Therefore, a full understanding of stem cells and their related regulatory mechanisms in disease treatment is conducive to improving the therapeutic effect of stem cells. However, thus far, there are still many unsolved mysteries in the field of stem cells due to technical limitations, which hinder the in-depth exploration of stem cells and their wide clinical application. Single-cell sequencing (SCS) has provided very powerful and unbiased insights into cell gene expression profiles at the single-cell level, bringing exciting results to 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 Background: Aortic root dilatation occurs in adults with tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) after surgical repair, but the longitudinal changes are unclear. The main research aim is to determine the annual dilatation rate of aorta in adults with repaired TOF. Methods: The present, multicentric, prospective cohort study assessed the rate of aortic diameter change in adults aged 20 years or older with TOF, including pulmonary artery atresia, who underwent surgical repair. Clinical data, focusing on echocardiograms, were collected at three-year intervals from seven hospitals.

Abstract The so-called fourth-generation biodegradable vascular stent has become a research hotspot in the field of bio-engineering because of its good degradation ability and drug-loading characteristics. However, the preparation of polymer-degraded vascular stents is affected by known problem such as poor process flexibility, low forming accuracy, large diameter wall thickness, limited complex pore structure, weak mechanical properties of radial support and high process cost. In this study, a deposition technique based on a high-voltage electric-field-driven continuous rotating jet is proposed to fabricate fully degraded polymer vascular stents. The experimental results show that, due to the rotation… More > Graphic Abstract

Abstract To address the issues of low accuracy and high false positive rate in traditional Otsu algorithm for defect detection on infrared images of wind turbine blades (WTB), this paper proposes a technique that combines morphological image enhancement with an improved Otsu algorithm. First, mathematical morphology’s differential multi-scale white and black top-hat operations are applied to enhance the image. The algorithm employs entropy as the objective function to guide the iteration process of image enhancement, selecting appropriate structural element scales to execute differential multi-scale white and black top-hat transformations, effectively enhancing the detail features of defect… More >
