A Projected Gradient Descent-Based Distributed Optimal Control Method of Medium-Voltage DC Distribution System Considering Line Loss

Abstract: Real-time minimization of line loss is a great challenge for conventional distributed control methods in medium-voltage DC distribution system (MVDC-DS), which may lead to low efficiency and ...

Control valve discovered in gut’s plumbing system

Healthy digestion depends on a delicate balance of fluid in the gut. At the heart of that balance are epithelial cells, which line the intestinal wall and control how salt and water move in and out of ...

Hidden molecular switch controls taste, metabolism and gut function

Northwestern University scientists have uncovered a hidden molecular "control switch" inside a protein that helps the body ...
