Deep hybrid neural net (DHN-Net) for minute-level day-ahead solar and wind power forecast in a decarbonized power system

The need to reduce global carbon emissions has led to a significant increase in clean energy globally. While renewable energy penetration into energy grids and power systems is increasing in many countries, the intermittency and stochastic ...

Security evaluation framework for cloud ERP systems using NIST and ISO standards

Abstract Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems serve as critical infrastructure for modern organizations, yet their security assessment lacks standardized evaluation frameworks. This study develops and applies a structured Security Mat...

A Cooperative Learning Approach for Decentralized Peer-to-Peer Energy Trading Markets and its Structural Robustness Against Cyberattacks

Peer-to-peer (P2P) energy trading has recently emerged as a promising paradigm for integrating renewable and distributed energy resources into local energy grids with the presence of active prosumers. However, prosumers often have different...

The effect of universal health coverage on pollution induced mortality across 91 countries

Abstract This study investigates the mitigating role of universal healthcare coverage (UHC) in reducing mortality from air pollution, focusing on deaths caused by particulate matter pollution (PMP) and ambient ozone pollution (AOP) across 9...

Evolution of psychological distress with age and its determinants in later life: evidence from 17-wave social survey data in Japan

Abstract Background Psychological distress (PD) is a major risk factor for mental health among middle-aged and older adults and affects their quality of life and well-being. This study aimed to examine the evolution of PD with age and the r...

Support for mask use as a COVID-19 public health measure among a large sample of Canadian secondary school students

Abstract Background Youth voice has been largely absent from deliberations regarding public health measures intended to prevent SARS-CoV-2 transmission, despite being one of the populations most impacted by school-based policies. To inform ...

Oxford Textbook of Public Health

SECTION 1: THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE DISCIPLINE OF PUBLIC HEALTH 1.1 The scope and concerns of public health 1.2 The history and development of public health in high-income countries 1.3 The history and development of public health in low- and...

Interplay of physical activity, self-rated health, and life satisfaction among large-bodied adolescents in Europe and North America: analysis using clustered binary mixed effects logit modelling

Abstract Background There is a dearth of studies focused on the impact of self-rated health on life satisfaction among large-bodied adolescents, as well as the moderating role of physical activity in this relationship. Large-bodied adolesce...

Graph neural networks for materials science and chemistry

Machine learning plays an increasingly important role in many areas of chemistry and materials science, being used to predict materials properties, accelerate simulations, design new structures, and predict synthesis routes of new materials...

Advances in CAR T cell therapy: antigen selection, modifications, and current trials for solid tumors

Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell therapy has revolutionized the treatment of hematologic malignancies, achieving remarkable clinical success with FDA-approved therapies targeting CD19 and BCMA. However, the extension of these successe...

Immunology of Psoriasis

The skin is the front line of defense against insult and injury and contains many epidermal and immune elements that comprise the skin-associated lymphoid tissue (SALT). The reaction of these components to injury allows an effective cutaneo...

Pulsed Low-dose-rate Radiotherapy Remodels the Tumor Immune Microenvironment and is Associated With Crosstalk Between SPP1⁺ tumor-associated macrophages and GZMK⁺ CD8⁺ T cells.

The Human dsRNA binding protein PACT is unable to functionally substitute for the Drosophila dsRNA binding protein R2D2 [v1; ref status: indexed, http://f1000r.es/201]

The primary function of the dsRNA binding protein (dsRBP) PACT/RAX is to activate the dsRNA dependent protein kinase PKR in response to stress signals.  Additionally, it has been identified as a component of the small RNA processing pathway...

Global variations in funding and use of hemodialysis accesses: an international report using the ISN Global Kidney Health Atlas

Abstract Background There is a lack of contemporary data describing global variations in vascular access for hemodialysis (HD). We used the third iteration of the International Society of Nephrology Global Kidney Health Atlas (ISN-GKHA) to ...

Current Protocols in Immunology

Current Protocols in Immunology is a three-volume looseleaf manual that provides comprehensive coverage of immunological methods from classic to the most cutting edge, including antibody detection and preparation, assays for functional acti...

Modelling Potassium Properties in East African Soils Using Infrared Spectroscopy

Potassium (K) is an essential plant nutrient and is often in short supply in the highly weathered soils of East Africa. The development of effective and sustainable fertilisation strategies could be helped by developing rapid and relatively...

Importance of background threshold value development within risk‐based corrective action programs

Abstract Risk‐based corrective action (RBCA) programs employ conservative models to develop default values for soil screening, which simplify the risk assessment process. However, for several naturally occurring metals (e.g., arsenic and le...

Anaerobic Digestion, Codigestion of Food Waste, and Chicken Dung: Correlation of Kinetic Parameters with Digester Performance and On-Farm Electrical Energy Generation Potential

Valorization of agro-food waste through anaerobic digestion (AD) is gaining prominence as alternative method of waste minimization and renewable energy production. The aim of this study was to identify the key parameters for digester perfor...
