This paper proposes an adaptive droop based virtual slack (ADVS) control for multiple distributed generations (DGs) to improve voltage stability of a practical DC distribution system.Although there have been many researches for optimal sizes of multiple DGs, their solutions are valid only in the particular operating point.Additionally, a previous s

Since adaptive immunity is thought to be central to immunity against influenza A virus (IAV) pneumonias, preventive strategies have focused primarily on vaccines.However, vaccine efficacy has been variable, in part because of antigenic shift and drift in circulating influenza viruses.Recent studies have highlighted the importance of innate immunity

Biomonitoring for heavy metals is important to assess health risks, especially in Arctic communities where rural residents rely on Dishes locally harvested foods.However, laboratory testing for blood contaminants is expensive and might not be sustainable for long-term monitoring.We assessed whether pooled specimen biomonitoring could be a part of a

Background & Aims The global pandemic caused by the highly contagious SARS-CoV-2 virus led to the emergency approval of COVID-19 vaccines to reduce rising morbidity and mortality.However, limited research exists on evaluating the impact of these vaccines on immunocompromised individuals, such as recipients of living donor liver transplantation, hig
