Adaptive Synchronverter Algorithm Using Q-Learning for Microgrid Stability Control by Mohd Brado Frasetyo, Fransisco Danang Wijaya, Husni Rois Ali, Muhammad Zharfan Wiranata

“…To address this limitation, this research proposes a novel control strategy for synchronverters based on reinforcement learning (RL), enabling adaptive adjustment of both virtual inertia and voltage control gain. The Q-learning algorithm is selected for this purpose, as it is capable of handling continuous observation spaces and discrete action spaces, making it well-suited for optimization in complex systems. …”

Virtual Screening of Natural Compounds as Potential SARS-CoV-2 Main Protease Inhibitors: A Molecular Docking and Molecular Dynamics Simulation Guided Approach by Deepak K. Lokwani, Sangita R. Chavan, Aniket P. Sarkate, Prabhu M. Natarajan, Vidhya R. Umapathy, Shirish P. Jain

“…Furthermore, the post-MD simulation binding free energies were calculated for all four compounds and were found to be in the range of −38.29 to −18.07 kcal/mol. The in silico virtual screening results suggested that the selected natural compounds have the potential to be developed as a COVID-19 M^pro inhibitor and can be explored further for experimental research to evaluate the in vitro and in vivo efficacy of these compounds for the treatment of COVID-19.…”
