A comparative review of machine learning and deep learning architectures for correlated colour temperature control in smart road lighting

The review provides a focused analysis of machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL) models for managing correlated colour temperature (CCT) in adaptive road lighting systems. As urban infrastructure evolves towards smart, responsive technologies, the ability to dynamically con...

Teaching the past, informing the present? School history education and attitudes toward foreign countries

Abstract How does school history education emphasizing past grievances with other countries impact attitudes toward conflict and cooperation with the countries today? We examine this question using original data from 34 classrooms across 17 high schools in Seoul, South Korea. We...

The neuroscience of transformers

Abstract Neuroscience has long informed the development of artificial neural networks, but the success of modern architectures invites, in turn, the converse: can modern networks teach us lessons about brain function? Here, we examine the structure of the cortical column and prop...

Unified Model of Substrate-Independent Oscillatory Dynamics: From Bare Proton Electrodynamics to the Architecture of Causality Spaces

This paper introduces a radical, unified system theory of the vibrational physics that conceptualizes thermal energy as a purely kinetic epiphenomenon resulting from localized particulate oscillations. At the core of this model lies the deconstruction of traditional chemical, ast...

When the doctor believes you, but you’re still not happy: Legitimized contested illness and patients’ negative post-consultation experiences and agency

This article investigates patients’ negative and ambivalent lived post-consultation experiences and the related agencies when a doctor legitimizes their contested illness. The primary data consist of 25 telephone interviews conducted soon after the patients’ consultation with a d...

Reciprocal Longitudinal Associations Between Psychological Entitlement and Women’s Benevolent Sexism and Men’s Hostile Sexism: Evidence From a 13-Year RI-CLPM

Prior research suggests that psychological entitlement differentially predicts women’s benevolent sexism and men’s hostile sexism. However, few studies examine these associations longitudinally, and none have tested whether sexism similarly predicts psychological entitlement over...

FIND: a phase-II study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of erdafitinib in FGFR-altered NSCLC

Abstract Introduction: FGFR alterations occur in approximately 2% of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients, predominantly in squamous cell histology (sqNSCLC). We evaluated the efficacy of the selective FGFR1-4 inhibitor erdafitinib in patients with FGFR-altered NSCLC. Meth...

Modular synthesis of 3,3-diaryloxetanes

Abstract Oxetanes are strained four-membered oxygen heterocycles that are valuable motifs for modulating lipophilicity, metabolic stability and three-dimensional structure of pharmaceuticals. Diaryloxetanes with 3,3-substitution are recognized as bioisosteres of diaryl ketones th...
