Grid-Forming Inverters: A Comparative Study of Different Control Strategies in Frequency and Time Domains by Nabil Mohammed, Harith Udawatte, Weihua Zhou, David J. Hill, Behrooz Bahrani

“…This article examines the performance of GFMIs when equipped with four different control strategies, namely, droop-based GFMI, virtual synchronous generator (VSG)-based GFMI, compensated generalized VSG (CGVSG)- based GFMI, and adaptive VSG (AVSG)-based GFMI. The comparative analysis assesses the performance and robustness of these four control strategies across various operational scenarios in frequency and time domains. …”

Virulence-associated variants in Cryptococcus neoformans sequence type 93 are less likely to be associated with population structure compared to independent rare mutations by Katrina M. Jackson, Kisakye Diana Kabbale, Marissa Macchietto, David Meya, Peter Tiffin, Kirsten Nielsen

“…The majority of the human population has a latent, controlled infection suggesting that C. neoformans is uniquely adapted to cause infection. In spite of this, the reason C. neoformans is a pathogen remains unknown; interestingly, most environmental isolates are avirulent but are genetically very similar to disease-causing virulent isolates. …”

Application of Image Denoising Method Based on Two-Way Coupling Diffusion Equation in Public Security Forensics by Yiqun Wang, Changpeng He, Zhenjiang Li

“…By improving the second-order partial differential equation, a new diffusion function with better diffusion effect than the original model is constructed. We combined the adaptive edge threshold and stop criterion to establish a new denoising algorithm model, which can get better denoising results. …”

Expression of auxin transporter genes in flax (<i>Linum usitatissimum</i>) fibers during gravity response by N. N. Ibragimova, N. E. Mokshina

“…Gravitropism is an adaptive reaction of plants associated with the ability of various plant organs to be located and to grow in a certain direction relative to the gravity vector, while usually the asymmetric distribution of the phytohormone auxin is a necessary condition for the gravitropical bending of plant organs. …”

Ambient pollution at hip fracture units and impact on mortality and post-operative delirium: A hormetic effect? by Chika Edward Uzoigwe, Rana Muhammad Anss Bin Qadir, Ahmed Daoub

“…The decrease in incidence in post-operative delirium in areas of higher exposure raises, again in an epidemiological study, the possibility of the enigmatic phenomenon of hormesis, an adaptive response whereby low-dose exposure to a noxious agent or physiological stress enhances future physiological function.…”

Economic impact of medication non-adherence by disease groups: a systematic review by Victoria Garcia-Cardenas, Rachelle Louise Cutler, Fernando Fernandez-Llimos, Michael Frommer, Charlie Benrimoj

“…Current research assessing the economic impact of medication non-adherence is limited and of varying quality, failing to provide adaptable data to influence health policy. The correlation between increased non-adherence and higher disease prevalence should be used to inform policymakers to help circumvent avoidable costs to the healthcare system. …”

Study of photosynthetic pigments in the hyperhaline Kuyalnik Estuary and its inflows (Ukraine, north-western Black sea region) by G. M. Shykhaleyeva, G. M. Kiryushkina, Yu. Yu. Yurchenko

“…It has been revealed that in the periods of low water content in KE and high salinization of its waters production activity is insignificant, but it does not stop. Adaptive mechanisms of algal communities in relation to extreme conditions of KE (salinization, decreasing of water level and increase of water temperature, decreasing of freshwater inflow) are expressed in an increase in the share of auxiliary pigments (chlorophylls "b" and "c"). …”
