This article presents an operational strategy for Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) capable charging stations in multienergy systems (MESs). We present a novel model-predictive control (MPC) formulation based on the operation of four-quadrant charging stations and the behavior of electric vehicle drivers. [...]

Interoperability among diverse devices, from traditional substation control rooms to modern inverters managing components like Distributed Energy Resources (DERs), is a primary challenge in modern power systems. It is essential for streamlining decision-making and control processes through effective communication, ultimately enhancing energy management efficiency. [...]

Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is increasingly used to modulate motor learning. Current polarity and intensity,electrode montage, and application before or during learning had mixed effects. [...]

<b>Background</b><br>The ability to differentiate between viable and dead microorganisms in metagenomic data is crucial for various microbial inferences, ranging from assessing ecosystem functions of environmental microbiomes to inferring the virulence of potential pathogens from metagenomic analysis. Established viability-resolved genomic approaches are labor-intensive as well as biased and lacking in sensitivity.<br><br><b>Results</b><br>We here introduce a new fully computational framework that leverages nanopore sequencing technology to assess microbial viability directly from freely available nanopore signal data. [...]

We will introduce ProFASi, a versatile open source software for simulation of biomolecular structure formation such as protein folding or peptide aggregation. An all-atom representation of the protein molecules with implicit solvent is used in ProFASi. [...]

Using a simple lattice model with a 2 letter amino acid alphabet (H: hydrophobic and P: polar), we have explored the important biophysical problems of protein folding and protein design. Our formulation of these problems features a simple algebraic form for the Hamiltonian irrespective of the system size and composition. [...]
