Antilipoxygenase and Anti-Inflammatory Activities of Streblus asper Leaf Extract on Xylene-Induced Ear Edema in Mice by Kanathip Singsai, Pimchanok Charoongchit, Waritsara Chaikaew, Nirut Boonma, Pitsinee Fhanjaksai, Karitta Chaisatan

“…In the animal study, mice that received diclofenac sodium exhibited significantly reduced ear edema induced by xylene from 30 min onward, while mice that received 250 mg/kg and 500 mg/kg SA exhibited significantly reduced ear edema compared with the control group 45 min after induction with xylene. These results suggested that the SA leaf extract had anti-inflammatory activity. …”

Systematic Decoupling Grid-Forming Control for Utility-Scale Inverter-Based Distributed Energy Resources in Weak Distribution Grids by Lina He, Shiwen Yu

“…Existing grid-forming inverter control schemes for distributed energy resources (DERs) primarily rely on active power (P)-frequency (f) and reactive power (Q)-voltage (V) droop mechanisms that are tailored for highly inductive transmission grids. However, in weak distribution grids where P and Q are highly coupled due to their resistive network characteristics, these control schemes cannot provide independent and accurate f and V regulation. …”
