Preventive-Corrective Control for Static Voltage Stability Under Multiple <tex>$N-1$</tex> Contingencies Considering Wind Power Uncertainty by Yuerong Yang, Shunjiang Lin, Qiong Wang, Mingbo Liu, Qifeng Li

“…The chance constraints of the static voltage stability margins (SVSMs) in the normal operation state and after each <tex>$N-1$</tex> contingency are included. The approximate functions between the probability density functions (PDFs) of SVSMs and load shedding quantity with respect to preventive control variables are obtained to transform the expectation of load shedding quantity and the SVSM chance constraints into deterministic expressions. …”

Developments in the study of the role of lactate metabolism in the genesis and progression of thyroid cancer by Lei Shi, Lei Shi, Lei Shi, Xuyang Zhong, Jiafeng Liu, Yong Ying, Zibing Liao, Jin Liu, Liwen Zhao, Jianing Zhong, Jianing Zhong, Xiangtai Zeng, Xiangtai Zeng

“…We systematically dissect the multifaceted regulatory circuits governing lactate metabolism by integrating three pivotal dimensions: (i) canonical signaling cascades; (ii) tumor-microenvironmental variables, most notably hypoxia and acidosis; and (iii) the emerging epigenetic paradigm of lactylation, which dynamically reprograms the catalytic efficiency of rate-limiting enzymes and reshapes the transcriptional landscape of metabolic genes, thereby precisely coordinating lactate homeostasis. …”
