Dynamic spiral updating whale optimization algorithm for solving optimal power flow problem
To address the problems of slow convergence of the traditional whale optimization algorithm and the tendency to fall into local optimal solutions, an improved algorithm based on a combination of elite disturba...

Exploring the historical evolution of tourism-environment interaction in protected area: A case study of Mt. Bogda
Protected areas have a double mandate of both “protection” and “use.” Nature-based tourism is considered an effective tool in terms of environmental conservation. Understanding the causes and consequences of a...

The Dynamical Behaviors of the Two-Atom and the Dynamical Casimir Effect in a Non-Stationary Cavity
We study the dynamical Casimir effect and the dynamical behaviors of the two-atom in a non-stationary cavity containing two two-level atoms. By solving the problem in a matrix method, we obtain an analytic sol...

Open AccessThiamine diphosphate reduction strongly correlates with brain glucose hypometabolism in Alzheimer’s disease, whereas amyloid deposition does not
The underlying mechanism of brain glucose hypometabolism, an invariant neurodegenerative feature that tightly correlates with cognitive impairment and disease progression of Alzheimer’s disease (AD), remains e...

Long-Term Cognitive Improvement After Benfotiamine Administration in Patients with Alzheimer’s Disease
To date, we still lack disease-modifying therapies for Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Here, we report that long-term administration of benfotiamine improved the cognitive ability of patients with AD. Five patients ...

LixCn as Anode Material for Lithium Ion Batteries
We design a way that the anode hosts provide lithium ion in lithium ion battery operation. If the limiting factors of the cathode materials are less, there will be more alternatives for it. It was proven to be...
