Systematic Evaluation of Isolation Techniques and Freeze‐Thaw Effects on Plasma Extracellular Vesicle Heterogeneity and Subpopulation Profiling by Xueqi Li, Xiangyu Li, Lingjun Tong, Liqiao Hu, Yanfen Hong, Ruoyu Zhou, Zonghong Li, Ming Dong, Junjie Hou, Tao Xu, Wen Zhong

“…However, standardizing blood‐derived EV isolation remains challenging due to the heterogeneity of EV populations and variability among isolation techniques. In this study, we systematically evaluated three distinct EV isolation methods, including asymmetrical flow field‐flow fractionation (AF4), size‐exclusion chromatography (SEC) and automated centrifugal microfluidic disc system combined with functionalized membranes (Exo‐CMDS), to compare their efficiency in isolating EVs from both freshly frozen and freeze‐thawed plasma samples. …”

Optimized Dual-Battery System with Intelligent Auto-Switching for Reliable Soil Nutrient Monitoring in Remote IoT Applications by Doan Perdana, Pascal Lorenz, Bagus Aditya

“…Implementing the DLB–PAO algorithm elevates the average reliability to 91.7% over 120 h, whereas the DLB–GA algorithm achieves near-perfect reliability (99.9%) for over 170 h, exhibiting minimal variability (standard deviation: 0.9%). The integration of intelligent auto-switching mechanisms and metaheuristic optimisation algorithms demonstrates a marked enhancement in both reliability and energy efficiency for soil nutrient monitoring systems. …”
