The rapid proliferation of inverter-based resources (IBRs), including both grid-following (GFL) and grid-forming (GFM) topologies, presents significant stability challenges for modern power systems. These challenges are exacerbated by the lack of industry standards for collaborative IBR design, forcing reliance on complex, project-specific modeling and simulations that often fail to guarantee stability across diverse operating conditions. This limitation impedes the seamless, large-scale integration of distributed energy resources (DERs).This presentation rigorously examines interactions within IBR-dominated grids. A novel specifications-based framework is proposed, leveraging time-scales separation to systematically manage and mitigate adverse interactions. As part of this framework, new control techniques designed to achieve robust, stable performance for GFM IBRs will be <a href="http://discussed.Additionally" target="_blank" title="discussed.Additionally">discussed.Additionally, the presentation addresses the parallel trend of increasing high-voltage DC (HVDC) transmission, which introduces new challenges in stabilizing coupled AC-DC systems.

paraDOXTM Architecture: a photonic network packet switch for massive radix interconnectivityAbstract:As the world continues to advance the capabilities of Artificial Intelligence, its networks are straining the limits of interconnectivity and power consumption. The rapidly increasing need for larger switches, lower latency at higher data rates while also slowing the rate of power consumption appear to be the only path forward for the future growth of AI. However, we are stuck in a decade's old paradigm of shrinking transistor sizes with more dense microchips, operating ever faster with each node improvement. This in turn requires more circuitry and more power to maintain the fidelity of the electrical signaling, but where all the "intelligence" is concentrated down into a chip no bigger than a postage stamp, with the added uncertainty of just how small a transistor can get before physics or cost finally ends that progression. Axonal Networks proposes a new way to interconnect the network through the development of paraDOX - the parallel Digital Optical Cross (X) Connect architecture. Unlike circuit-switching concepts, paraDOX uses a new way to build an Ethernet Packet Switch while being able to scale to thousands of ports. paraDOX is a truly distributed system that scales almost linearly in terms of resources, while also eliminating the need for optical transceivers by making the light part of the digital logic itself. This talk will outline, at a high level, the general architecture along with the proposed advancement of distributed logic structures that are being <a href="http://developed.------------------------------------------------------------------------Architecture" target="_blank" title="developed.------------------------------------------------------------------------Architecture">developed.------------------------------------------------------------------------Architecture paraDOXMC : un commutateur de paquets réseau photonique pour une interconnectivité massive de radixRésumé:Alors que le monde continue de développer les capacités de l'intelligence artificielle, ses réseaux repoussent les limites de l'interconnectivité et de la consommation énergétique. Le besoin croissant de commutateurs plus grands, d'une latence plus faible à des débits de données plus élevés et d'une consommation énergétique plus faible semble être la seule voie d'avenir pour la croissance future de l'IA. Cependant, nous restons coincés dans un paradigme vieux de dix ans : la réduction de la taille des transistors au profit de puces plus denses, fonctionnant toujours plus vite à chaque amélioration de nœud. Cela nécessite plus de circuits et de puissance pour maintenir la fidélité de la signalisation électrique, mais toute l'« intelligence » est concentrée dans une puce pas plus grande qu'un timbre-poste, avec l'incertitude supplémentaire quant à la taille maximale d'un transistor avant que la physique ou le coût ne mettent fin à cette progression. Axonal Networks propose une nouvelle façon d'interconnecter le réseau grâce au développement de paraDOX : l'architecture parallèle Digital Optical Cross (X) Connect. Contrairement aux concepts de commutation de circuits, paraDOX utilise une nouvelle méthode de construction d'un commutateur de paquets Ethernet tout en permettant une évolutivité jusqu'à des milliers de ports. paraDOX est un système véritablement distribué dont l'évolutivité des ressources est quasi linéaire, tout en éliminant le recours aux émetteurs-récepteurs optiques en intégrant la lumière à la logique numérique elle-même.

Abstract: Nanobubbles (NBs) are promising ultrasound contrast agents capable of enhancing both vascular and extravascular imaging. Their spatially uniform scattering under repeated exposure enables consistent and durable enhancement. This study evaluates NB-enhanced ultrasound using compound amplitude modulation (cAM) and plane-wave imaging (PWI) on the Vevo F2 system (Fujifilm VisualSonics Inc.) in both phantoms and in vivo mice. Phospholipid-shelled NBs (~250 nm) were tested in phantoms (~10⁹ NBs/mL) and in mouse kidneys (~10¹¹ NBs/mL). While cAM was sufficient in phantoms, it was inadequate in vivo due to breathing motion and incomplete tissue suppression. To address this limitation, a new PWI-based methodology was developed for NB-enhanced imaging, integrating high-frame-rate acquisition and advanced signal processing to achieve robust vascular visualization without amplitude modulation or pulse inversion. This approach establishes a practical framework for NB-enhanced vascular ultrasound imaging and demonstrates strong potential for preclinical and clinical <a href="http://translation.350" target="_blank" title="translation.350">translation.350 Victoria Street, Toronto Metropolitan University, Room: KHE321C, Toronto, Ontario, Canada, M5B 2K3
