Refinement of Recloser Operation and Safety Enhancement in Distribution Systems: A Study Based on Real Data by Geonho Kim, Tae-Hwan Kim, Jun-Hyeok Kim

“…First, an analysis of reclosure counts revealed that over 73% of faults were cleared after the first reclosure, and when the second reclosure was included, more than 90% were successfully restored. This finding suggests that reducing the number of reclosures from the standard three to one or two would not significantly impact fault restoration performance while simultaneously reducing arc generation, thereby improving safety. …”

Engineering of CD63 Enables Selective Extracellular Vesicle Cargo Loading and Enhanced Payload Delivery by Wataru Obuchi, Ayrton Zargani‐Piccardi, Kevin Leandro, David Rufino‐Ramos, Emilio Di Ianni, Dawn Madison Frederick, Katia Maalouf, Lisa Nieland, Tianhe Xiao, Pierre Repiton, Christine A. Vaine, Benjamin P. Kleinstiver, D. Cristopher Bragg, Hakho Lee, Miles A. Miller, Xandra O. Breakefield, Koen Breyne

“…FLAG‐tag‐based immunocapture from cell conditioned media allowed selection of cargo‐loaded E‐NoMi‐EVs, and tobacco etch virus (TEV) protease cleavage sites were used to remove the 3xFLAG‐tag from the surface of E‐NoMi‐EVs after capture. For functional payload delivery to recipient cells, the vesicular stomatitis virus G (VSV‐G) fusogenic protein was incorporated into E‐NoMi‐EVs to form fusogenic EV‐based vectors (EVVs) and proved to be 10‐fold more effective at cargo delivery than EVs generated by size‐exclusion chromatography. …”
