Statistical Comparison between Pores and Sunspots during the Time Interval 2010–2023 by Yang Peng, Yu Fei, Nan-bin Xiang, Lin-hua Deng, Ting-ting Xu, Sheng Zheng, Shu-guang Zeng, Hai-yang Zhang, Shi-hu Liu

“…The main conclusions are as follows. (1) The steepness between the total magnetic flux and total area of transitional sunspots appears to be flattened in each phase of the observed solar cycles, and does not have a significant variation over the solar cycle. (2) For three groups of sunspots, the umbral physical parameters’ means and their correlations show only minor variations with the solar cycle, which are in error ranges. (3) As the mean umbral LOS magnetic field strength increases, the correlation of the umbral I – B _los increases. …”

Investigation of effective conservation measures for the critically endangered White-bellied Heron Ardea insignis using an integrated population model and Bayesian population via... by Indra P. Acharja, Yuji Okahisa, M. Clay Green, Tshewang Lhendup, Sonam Tshering, Thinley Phuntsho, Tshering Tobgay, Lungten Lungten, Jigme Tshering, Samten Leki

“…In situations where every individual bird is critical to the population, conservation actions must be precise and effective, leaving little margin for error. Despite commendable conservation measures for the White-bellied Heron, especially in Bhutan, where a major population is found, the declining population trend is alarming, necessitating both short-term and long-term conservation strategies. …”

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

“…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. The system architecture, simulated in MATLAB/Simulink, comprises a 50 kW PV array with a boost converter employing an Incremental Conductance (INC) Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) algorithm, a three-phase voltage source inverter, RLC filters, and a dual-loop (voltage and current) control system synchronized with the utility grid through a Phase-Locked Loop (PLL). …”
