Optimized integration of photovoltaic systems and distribution static compensators in distribution networks using a novel discrete-continuous version of the adaptive JAYA algorithm... by Paolo Iván Cubillo-Leyton, Oscar Danilo Montoya, Luis Fernando Grisales-Noreña

“…For comparison, the discrete-continuous versions of the vortex search algorithm (VSA), the sine-cosine algorithm (SCA), Phasor Particle Swarm Optimization (PPSO), New Self-Organising Hierarchical PSO (NHPSO-JTVAC), Differential Evolution (DE), Gold Search Optimization (GSO) and the classical version of JAYA are used, validating the effectiveness of our proposal on the 33- and 69-bus test systems while considering variable generation and demand. In terms of the best solution, the average solution, and the required processing times, the AJAYA-SA strategy yields the best results in both test systems, making it the most efficient method to solve the problem under study.…”

Signatures of Rapidly Rotating Stars with Chemically Homogeneous Evolution in the First Galaxies by Boyuan Liu, Yves Sibony, Georges Meynet, Volker Bromm

“…We find that the rest-frame UV luminosity of star-forming galaxies can be significantly enhanced by a factor of  ∼3−6 when CHE stars above a minimum initial mass of ${m}_{\star ,\min }^{\mathrm{CHE}}\sim 2-10\,{M}_{\odot }$ account for more than half of the total stellar mass following a Salpeter initial mass function. As a result, the UV luminosity functions observed at z  ∼ 12−16 can be reproduced with less extreme values of star formation efficiency and UV luminosity stochastic variability. …”
