Optimal Economic Dispatch Strategy for Cascade Hydropower Stations Considering Electric Energy and Peak Regulation Markets by Fan Liu, Wentao Huang, Jingjing Ma, Jun He, Can Lv, Yukun Yang

“…The objective function takes into account the generation capacity of the cascade hydropower stations, the benefits of the EEM, the influence of the spot market, the compensatory benefits of peaking, and the sharing expenses of peaking; secondly, the constraints at the level of the power grid, the level of the cascade hydropower stations, and the level of the market are taken into account comprehensively, and the Harris Hawk Algorithm is used to solve the model; lastly, by comparing different schemes, it is observed that under varying inflow conditions, the proposed dispatch strategy in this paper yields slightly lower revenue in the EEM than other schemes. …”

Artificial intelligence in vaccine research and development: an umbrella review by Rabie Adel El Arab, May Alkhunaizi, May Alkhunaizi, Yousef N. Alhashem, Alissar Al Khatib, Munirah Bubsheet, Salwa Hassanein, Salwa Hassanein

“…Nonetheless, persistent challenges emerged—data heterogeneity, algorithmic bias, limited regulatory frameworks, and ethical concerns over transparency and equity.Discussion and implicationsThese findings illustrate AI’s transformative potential across the vaccine lifecycle but underscore that translating promise into practice demands five targeted action areas: robust data governance and multi‑omics consortia to harmonize and share high‑quality datasets; comprehensive regulatory and ethical frameworks featuring transparent model explainability, standardized performance metrics, and interdisciplinary ethics committees for ongoing oversight; the adoption of adaptive trial designs and manufacturing simulations that enable real‑time safety monitoring and in silico process modeling; AI‑enhanced public engagement strategies—such as routinely audited chatbots, real‑time sentiment dashboards, and culturally tailored messaging—to mitigate vaccine hesitancy; and a concerted focus on global equity and pandemic preparedness through capacity building, digital infrastructure expansion, routine bias audits, and sustained funding in low‑resource settings.ConclusionThis umbrella review confirms AI’s pivotal role in accelerating vaccine development, enhancing efficacy and safety, and bolstering public acceptance. …”
