Systemic dysregulation of apolipoproteins in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis serum

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a fatal disease that damages motor neurons. This study found that people with ALS show significant changes in blood fats and the proteins that carry them. Several apolipoproteins were higher, lipid balances were altered, and normal protein–lipid relationships were disrupted.

Chance-Constrained ADMM Approach for Decentralized Control of Distributed Energy Resources

, 2018
Distribution systems are undergoing a dramatic transition from a passive circuit that routinely disseminates electric power among downstream nodes to the system with distributed energy resources.

Real power loss minimization using interior point method

International Journal of Electrical Power & Energy Systems, 2001
Abstract An efficient predictor–corrector primal–dual interior point method (IPM) is applied to reactive power optimization. A linear model is introduced in which control variables and voltage increments are linked by a modified Jacobian matrix, and transmission losses are represented as a function of voltage increments.

Large‐scale bidirectional arrayed genetic screens identify OXR1 and EMC4 as modifiers of αSynuclein aggregation

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Activation of the mitochondrial protein OXR1 increases pSyn129 αSynuclein aggregation by lowering ATP levels and altering mitochondrial membrane potential, particularly in response to MSA‐derived fibrils. In contrast, ablation of the ER protein EMC4 enhances autophagic flux and lysosomal clearance, broadly reducing α‐synuclein aggregates.

ENHANCED SPIDER ALGORITHM FOR MINIMIZATION OF REAL POWER LOSS

International Journal of Research -GRANTHAALAYAH, 2018
In this paper Enhanced Spider (ES) algorithm is proposed to solve reactive power Problem. Enthused by the spiders, a new Enhanced Spider (ES) algorithm is utilized to solve reactive power problem. The composition is primarily based on the foraging approach of social spiders, which make use of of the vibrations spread over the spider web to choose the ...
