A multiport DC-to-DC converter-driven inductive wireless charging system for EVs with integrated photovoltaic and energy storage systems.

This paper introduces an innovative three-port DC-DC converter (TPC)-based wireless charging system (WCS) that seamlessly integrates photovoltaic (PV) and an energy storage system (ESS). The proposed system leverages the advantages of an isolated topology, enhancing safety, reducing electromagnetic interference, and enabling flexible power management. The regulation of input ports from PV and ESS (battery) is achieved through a pulse width modulation switching scheme, ensuring stable voltage across the WCS port.

Analysis and implementation of variable frequency controlled dynamic wireless charging system with half-bridge multi-leg converter topology.

Resonant Inductive Power Transmission (RIPT) represents a cutting-edge Wireless Power Transfer (WPT) technology, emerging as a secure and practical solution for charging electric vehicles (EVs). While Dynamic Wireless Charging Systems (DWCS) reduce the need for large batteries compared to static charging, they entail higher initial investments. This study introduces an innovative approach to DWCS utilizing a half-bridge-based multi-legged inverter configuration.

Spatial mapping of the HCC landscape identifies unique intratumoral perivascular-immune neighborhoods.

Background: HCC develops in the context of chronic inflammation; however, the opposing roles the immune system plays in both the development and control of tumors are not fully understood. Mapping immune cell interactions across the distinct tissue regions could provide greater insight into the role individual immune populations have within tumors.

Methods: A 39-parameter imaging mass cytometry panel was optimized with markers targeting immune cells, stromal cells, endothelial cells, hepatocytes, and tumor cells.

Vessels that encapsulate tumour clusters vascular pattern in hepatocellular carcinoma.

Vessels that encapsulate tumour clusters (VETC) is a distinct histologic vascular pattern associated with a novel mechanism of metastasis. First described in human cancers in 2004, its prevalence and prognostic significance in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) has only been appreciated in the past decade with a rapidly increasing body of literature. A robust biomarker of aggressive disease, the VETC pattern is easy to recognise but relies on histologic examination of tumour tissue for its diagnosis.

Approaches to spatially resolving the tumour immune microenvironment of hepatocellular carcinoma.

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a common and deadly cancer worldwide. Many factors contribute to mortality and place an individual at high risk of developing HCC, including viral infection, alcohol intake, metabolic-associated disease, autoimmunity and genetic liver disorders. Although there are many therapeutics available, much about this disease remains to be understood.
