Enhancing Virtual Inertia Control in Microgrid Clusters: A Novel Frequency Response Model Based on Deep Reinforcement Learning

Applied Sciences
Traditional control strategies, such as droop-frequency and PI controllers, often show limited adaptability when the system operates under highly variable renewable generation and load conditions. In order to overcome this limitation, this study proposes

The Repellent DEET Potentiates Carbamate Effects via Insect Muscarinic Receptor Interactions: An Alternative Strategy to Control Insect Vector-Borne Diseases. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
Insect vector-borne diseases remain one of the principal causes of human mortality. In addition to conventional measures of insect control, repellents continue to be the mainstay for personal protection.

DEET feet: Aedes aegypti mosquitoes use their tarsi to sense DEET on contact [PDF]

, 2018
Summary DEET ( N , N -diethyl- meta -toluamide) is the most effective and broadly used insect repellent, but its mechanism of action is both complex and controversial [1].

What is a Multi‐Ethnic Party and How to Spot a Fake One?

Swiss Political Science Review, EarlyView.
Abstract Multi‐ethnic parties have been variously defined: as those which do not champion the interests of, or mobilize against, any specific ethnic group; as those with a recognisably cross‐communal leadership or membership; and as those which acquire some distribution of support across groups.

Protective Efficacy of Menthol Propylene Glycol Carbonate Compared to N, N-diethyl-Methylbenzamide Against Mosquito Bites in Northern Tanzania. [PDF]

, 2012
The reduction of malaria parasite transmission by preventing human-vector contact is critical in lowering disease transmission and its outcomes. This underscores the need for effective and long lasting arthropod/insect repellents.

Nested Claims, Cross‐Segmental Issues, and Elite Competition in Powersharing

Swiss Political Science Review, EarlyView.
Abstract Powersharing systems rely on descriptive representation, where elected elites ‘stand in’ for their segment's voters, incentivising intransigence and penalising cross‐segmental cooperation. Yet powersharing politics regularly witness cross‐segmental appeals, voting patterns and party formation.

Evidence for inhibition of cholinesterases in insect and mammalian nervous systems by the insect repellent deet

BMC Biology, 2009
Background N,N-Diethyl-3-methylbenzamide (deet) remains the gold standard for insect repellents. About 200 million people use it every year and over 8 billion doses have been applied over the past 50 years.
