A Brief Political Economy of Energy Subsidies in the Middle East and North Africa by Laura El-Katiri, Bassam Fattouh

“…While it is clear that energy subsidy reform will not be the only variable at play, its potential socio-economic dividends are important factors for enabling some common regional objectives—sustainable fiscal policies, fiscal space to invest in key areas, and a more efficient and equitable distribution of scarce resources—to be achieved, helping to promote a more stable political status quo in the long term. …”

Genetically Engineered Bacterial Ghosts as Vaccine Candidates Against <i>Klebsiella pneumoniae</i> Infection by Svetlana V. Dentovskaya, Anastasia S. Vagaiskaya, Alexandra S. Trunyakova, Alena S. Kartseva, Tatiana A. Ivashchenko, Vladimir N. Gerasimov, Mikhail E. Platonov, Victoria V. Firstova, Andrey P. Anisimov

“…Previously, this kit made it possible to generate bacterial cells of <i>Yersinia pestis</i> with varying degrees of hydrolysis and variable protective activity. <b>Results:</b> In the current study, we showed that co-expression of the holin and endolysin genes from the L-413C phage elicited more rapid and efficient <i>K. pneumoniae</i> lysis than lysis mediated by only single gene <i>E</i> or the low functioning holin–endolysin system of λ phage. …”

Grid-connected PV inverter system control optimization using Grey Wolf optimized PID controller by Monika Gupta, P. M. Tiwari, R. K. Viral, Ashish Shrivastava, Basem Abu Zneid, Iryna Hunko

“…Conventional controllers such as P and PI are widely used in PV applications due to their simplicity, but they exhibit notable limitations in dynamic environments, including increased Total Harmonic Distortion (THD), slower transient response, and poor voltage regulation—particularly under variable irradiance conditions. The proposed GWO-PID method overcomes these limitations by leveraging the GWO algorithm’s global search capability to dynamically optimize the PID gains (Kp, Ki, Kd) based on a composite fitness function that minimizes Mean Squared Error (MSE) and THD. …”
