Investigation on Photovoltaic Power Forecasting Model Using Sensitivity Analysis

Photovoltaic (PV) power forecasting is challenged by high-dimensional input features that cause redundancy and overfitting. To address this, we propose a short-term PV forecasting model integrating a CNN-LSTM architecture with active subspace-based global sensitivity analysis, wh...

Through the looking glass: an empirical study of users’ experiences of the regulatory framework governing text and data mining and some practical ways forward

Text and data mining (TDM) refers to the process of uncovering knowledge from datasets using computational analysis. Applications of TDM have grown rapidly in recent years, especially with the ever-growing popularisation of Artificial Intelligence. TDM sheds light on knowledge hi...

Analysis of cold energy loss characteristics and improvement of liquefaction cycle methods in liquid air energy storage systems

Liquid air energy storage system plays a crucial role in maintaining grid stability. The cold storage packed bed constitutes a critical component of the system. In existing studies, few have investigated the influence of multiple cycles of the packed bed under non-ideal condition...

Molecular Docking, Drug-Likeness, and Toxicity Profiling of Taraxacum Officinale-derived Phytochemicals Against Estrogen Receptor Alpha (ERα) in Breast Cancer

Public interest in the anticancer potential of dandelion ( Taraxacum officinale ) root has grown following reports that its extract can induce cell death in cancer cell lines, but whether individual T. officinale phytochemicals directly engage estrogen receptor alpha (ERα), the p...

When Feature Alignment Helps, Hurts, or Washes out: Carrier-Dependent Domain Adaptation for Cherenkov Telescope Event Classification

Feature alignment domain adaptation (DA) methods such as CORAL and MMD are widely used to mitigate distribution shift between training (source) and deployment (target) domains. They are typically evaluated on a single downstream classifier, which implicitly assumes that the align...

The impact of waste-to-energy incineration plants and its information disclosure on property values: evidence from Hangzhou, China

This study quantifies the negative externalities of waste-to-energy (WTE) incineration plants and evaluates the efficacy of information disclosure policies in Hangzhou, China. Using a novel compiled dataset on real estate transactions and construction information on WTE incinerat...

Inter-generational transmission of sports practice in Algerian families: Habitus formation, capital mobilisation and social reproduction

This study examines inter-generational transmission of sports practice in Algerian families through a sequential explanatory mixed-methods design. The quantitative phase applied propensity score-matched binary logistic regression across 480 families (240 sport-participating; 240...

A Phosphazene‐Polyphenol Network Binder Enables Catalytic Polysulfide Conversion and Intrinsic Flame Retardancy for Practical Lithium‐Sulfur Batteries

ABSTRACT Practical deployment of lithium‐sulfur (Li‐S) batteries is severely hindered by polysulfide shuttling, structural degradation from severe cathode swelling, and flammability risks. Herein, we construct a cross‐linked macromolecular binder (HTP) by integrating bio‐derived...

Bragg resonance reflection of water waves by submerged triangular bars with asymmetric cross-sections

By using the modified mild-slope equation, this paper conduct theoretical research on Bragg reflection induced by submerged triangular bars with asymmetric cross-sections. First, an analytical solution for the reflection coefficient is developed. Then the reliability of this solu...

From Passive Barrier to Smart Response: The Evolution of Anti-Corrosion Fillers and Their Adaptive Protection Mechanisms

Abstract Smart responsive anticorrosion fillers have significantly advanced metal protection by enabling a shift from passive physical barriers to dynamic, adaptive defense systems. This review systematically elucidates the evolutionary trajectory from traditional passive barrier...

Understanding English as a Foreign Language (EFL) Teachers’ Assessment Literacy in the Chilean Context

This study examines how in-service English as a Foreign Language (EFL) teachers in Chile evaluate their own Language Assessment Literacy (LAL) and how these self-assessments align with national teaching standards. Using a mixed-methods design, survey data from 220 teachers and in...

Foam Mat Drying of Soursop Pulp: Evaluation of Phytochemicals and Physico-chemical Properties of Powder Obtained

Foam mat drying (FMD) was employed to dry soursop pulp, with the objective of assessing the powder quality parameters. Egg albumen was applied at 3%, 6%, 9%, 12%, and 15% wt/wt and methylcellulose at 0.4%, 0.8%, 1.2%, 1.6%, and 2% wt/wt as foaming and stabilizing agents, respecti...

Pooled versus structured inhibition drives stimulus competition across distinct spatial scales in the superior colliculus

Competitive stimulus interactions across the space map of the midbrain superior colliculus (SC) are critical for spatial decision-making among multiple options. Here, using electrophysiological recordings from the intermediate and deep layers of the SC (SCid) in mice of either se...

Extracellular matrix–targeted TNC-scFv armoring enhances CAR T cell persistence and antitumor activity in solid tumors

Chimeric antigen receptor T cell (CAR T cell) therapy has shown limited efficacy in solid tumors, largely due to physical and immunosuppressive barriers imposed by the tumor microenvironment (TME). Tenascin-C (TNC), an extracellular matrix protein highly expressed in multiple sol...

PD-1 inhibitor-associated myasthenia gravis with acute myocardial injury: a case report

Abstract Background PD-1 inhibitors can cause serious immune-related adverse events, including myasthenia gravis (MG). The occurrence of myocardial injury during immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy can pose diagnostic challenges. Case presentation A 65-year-old man with hepatocel...

Trust-Aware Federated Learning for Privacy-Preserving IoT Intrusion Detection

The rapid growth of Internet of Things (IoT) networks has increased the need for intrusion detection mechanisms that provide accurate threat detection while preserving privacy, resisting malicious clients, and limiting communication overhead. Existing Federated Learning (FL)-base...

Farmers’ knowledge, attitudes and perceptions of green hydrogen in Oshikoto Region, Namibia

Introduction: Commercial farmers in Namibia’s Oshikoto Region operate under drought, water scarcity, high agricultural input costs and uneven rural energy access. Although Namibia has prioritised green hydrogen within its industrial and energy strategies, limited farmer-level evi...

Multiple classification of childhood and juvenile autism spectrum disorder from ABIDE-II sMRI using BN-GO-CNN

Abstract Objectives Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) shows heterogeneous neurodevelopmental patterns across childhood, juvenile development, and adulthood, so binary MRI classification may not fully capture age-and sex-related variation. This study proposes a proof-of-concept frame...

Knock-Out of Prion Protein Associated with Reactivity and Mitochondrial Abnormalities in a Novel Human Astrocyte Model

Human prion diseases are fatal neurodegenerative diseases caused by misfolding and aggregation of the cellular prion protein, PrP. Current therapeutic avenues focus on the removal of PrP to decrease its availability in the brain. Numerous studies have investigated the role of neu...
