Optimisation Strategy for Electricity–Carbon Sharing Operation of Multi-Virtual Power Plants Considering Multivariate Uncertainties by Jun Zhan, Mei Huang, Xiaojia Sun, Yubo Zhang, Zuowei Chen, Yilin Chen, Yang Li, Chenyang Zhao, Qian Ai

“…Finally, an asymmetric bargaining method is proposed to quantify the contribution size of each participant with a nonlinear energy mapping function, and the VPPs negotiate with each other regarding the bargaining power of their electricity–carbon contribution size in the co-operation, so as to ensure a fair distribution of co-operation benefits and thus to motivate and maintain a long-term and stable co-operative relationship among the subjects. …”

A metaheuristic optimization framework inspired by virus mutations and its ability to optimize the structural design of 2D and 3D steel frames compared to other methods by Mehdi Ghasri, Hamid Reza Karimi, Abdolhamid Salarnia

“…MVPO integrates population-based exploration, simulating viral spread through intra-community interactions (guided by wavelet functions to model transmission variability) and inter-community propagation, with a two-phase mutation strategy: the first phase enhances global exploration via elongated search steps during accelerated spread, while the second phase introduces structural perturbations to escape local optima. …”

Age differences in the variability and distribution of sleep spindle and rapid eye movement densities. by Kevin R Peters, Laura B Ray, Stuart Fogel, Valerie Smith, Carlyle T Smith

“…Although age differences were observed in the degree of absolute variability (older adults had significantly larger variances than young adults for sleep efficiency and time spent awake after sleep onset), a similar pattern was also observed within the two age groups: the four sleep measures with the lowest degrees of relative variability were the same and included time spent in REM and Stage 2 sleep, total sleep time, and sleep efficiency. …”
