Smart Energy Management of Residential Microgrid System by a Novel Hybrid MGWOSCACSA Algorithm

Energies, 2020
Optimal scheduling of distributed energy resources (DERs) of a low-voltage utility-connected microgrid system is studied in this paper. DERs include both dispatchable fossil-fueled generators and non-dispatchable renewable energy resources.

Large‐Bodied and Wide‐Beaked Avian Frugivores Show Greater Specialisation in Tropical Seed Dispersal Networks

Global Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 35, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim Avian frugivores with large bodies and beaks are increasingly threatened due to smaller population sizes, greater energy requirements and higher vulnerability to hunting pressure and illegal wildlife trade. However, it remains unclear whether birds with these traits adopt consistent strategies in their interactions with fleshy‐fruited ...

Solutionism for the Many, Regulation for the Few: How Online Media Bundles the Policies on the Future of Work in Indonesia

Review of Policy Research, Volume 43, Issue 2, March 2026.
ABSTRACT The future of work (FoW), that is, how new technologies from automation to artificial intelligence affect the workplace, has become such a salient topic that its framing matters for the evolution of important policy areas from social protection to market and labor regulation.

Peering into the world of wild passerines with 3D‐SOCS: Synchronized video capture and posture estimation

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 2, Page 339-356, February 2026.
Abstract Collection of large behavioural data‐sets on wild animals in natural habitats is vital in ecology and evolution studies. Recent progress in machine learning and computer vision, combined with inexpensive microcomputers, has unlocked a new frontier of fine‐scale markerless measurements.

A Typology of Australian Terrestrial Bird Communities

Diversity and Distributions, Volume 32, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim Holistic measurement of the response of fauna communities to interventions requires suitable community condition metrics. However, the development of such metrics is hindered by the absence of broad‐scale typologies at suitable spatial and ecological resolutions. We aimed to derive a preliminary typology of terrestrial bird communities for

Transdermal Delivery of Botulinum Toxin for the Management of Oily and Acne‐Prone Skin Using TDA Technology

Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, Volume 25, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Intradermal botulinum toxin injections have been shown to reduce sebaceous gland activity and improve skin texture in patients with oily and acne‐prone skin. However, needle‐based application is associated with discomfort and potential side effects.

Optimal Reactive Power Dispatch using Crow Search Algorithm

International Journal of Electrical and Computer Engineering (IJECE), 2018
<p>The optimal reactive power dispatch is a kind of optimization problem that plays a very important role in the operation and control of the power system. This work presents a meta-heuristic based approach to solve the optimal reactive power dispatch problem.

Detection and succession properties of forested vernal pools with eDNA metabarcoding

Ecological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 7, Issue 1, January–March 2026.
We examined the capacity of environmental DNA metabarcoding for studying biodiversity of forested vernal pools, using multiple assays to investigate different eukaryotic communities over space and time. Our results suggest that metabarcoding can serve as a complementary tool for ‘scaling up’ vernal pool biodiversity monitoring, illuminating ecological ...

Opposite Based Crow Search Algorithm for Solving Optimization Problems

International Scientific and Vocational Studies Journal, 2021
This article proposes an opposite based learning (OBL) enhanced crow search algorithm (CSA) version for solving optimization problems. The proposed method, named the opposite based CSA (ObCSA), starts searching with individuals with higher fitness in the initial phase of the evolutionary process.
