Evaluation of joint and muscle function of paediatric upper and lower extremities

Road traffic crashes are the leading cause of injuries, disabilities, and fatalities for children and young adults. Extremity joint injuries have been identified as one of the contributing factors to chronic disabilities among children in r...

The Temporal-Based Forest Disturbance Monitoring Analysis: A Case Study of Nature Reserves of Hainan Island of China From 1987 to 2020

Forest disturbance monitoring can provide scientific data for the decision making and management of nature reserves. LandTrendr algorithm has been applied to identify forest disturbances on a long-time scale through appropriate segmentation...

Performance Analysis of New One-Piece Iron Roughneck and Its Spinning Mechanism

The iron roughneck is an automated piece of equipment utilized for the connection and removal of drilling tools. This paper presents the design of an integrated iron roughneck, providing a detailed introduction to its clamp body structure, ...

Observer-Based Robust Finite-Time Trajectory Tracking Control for a Stratospheric Satellite Subject to External Disturbance and Actuator Saturation

The stratospheric satellite is regarded as an ideal stratosphere flight platform and is able to accomplish various missions such as surveillance, earth observation, and remote sensing, which requires a robust and effective trajectory tracki...

A Survey of Aero-Engine Blade Modeling and Dynamic Characteristics Analyses

The rotating blade is a key component of an aero-engine, and its vibration characteristics have an important impact on the performance of the engine and are vital for condition monitoring. This paper reviews the research progress of blade d...

Evaluating key predictors of breast cancer through survival: a comparison of AFT frailty models with LASSO, ridge, and elastic net regularization

Abstract Background Frailty models are extensively utilized in survival analysis to address unobserved heterogeneity among individuals. However, selecting the most robust model for survival prediction, especially in the context of high-dime...

Comprehensive analyses of m6A regulators and interactive coding and non-coding RNAs across 32 cancer types

Abstract N6-Methyladenosine (m6A) is an RNA modification that interacts with numerous coding and non-coding RNAs and plays important roles in the development of cancers. Nonetheless, the clinical impacts of m6A interactive genes on these ca...

gllvm 2.0: fast fitting of advanced ordination methods and joint species distribution models

Background Over the past decade, joint species distribution models (JSDMs) and model-based ordination have emerged as powerful tools for the analysis of community ecology data. Generalized linear latent variable models (GLLVMs) offer a flex...

Beyond airborne spread: a dual-route Wells-Riley extension for estimating norovirus infection risk in Ghanaian pediatric wards

Background: The classic Wells–Riley model (CWRM) is a well-established framework for estimating airborne infection risk in shared indoor environments. This study extends the framework to simultaneously incorporate fecal–oral transmission, a...

Changes in the geographical distribution of youth poverty and social exclusion in EU member countries between 2008 and 2017

With respect to the fulfillment of the objectives of the Europe 2020 strategy, the threat of poverty and social exclusion has not been sufficiently reduced in the European Union (EU) over the past decade, and large regional disparities pers...

Assessment of polygenic architecture and risk prediction based on common variants across fourteen cancers

In cancer many gene variants may contribute to disease etiology, but the impact of a given gene variant may have varied effect size. Here, the authors analyse summary statistics of genome-wide association studies from fourteen cancers, and ...

Robustness analysis of a Continuous-Time Markov Jump Process model for herd behaviour under stochastic shocks

Herd behaviour in socio-economic systems is characterised by asynchronous, stochastic decision-making that traditional models capture imperfectly. Discrete-time DTMCs impose fixed-tick synchrony and require binning, which distorts event tim...

Ranking of treatments in network meta-analysis: incorporating minimally important differences

Abstract Background In network meta-analysis (NMA), the magnitude of difference between treatment effects is typically ignored in the calculation of ranking metrics, such as probability best and surface under the cumulative ranking curve (S...

Seemingly unrelated time series model for forecasting the peak and short-term electricity demand: Evidence from the Kalman filtered Monte Carlo method

In this extant paper, a multivariate time series model using the seemingly unrelated times series equation (SUTSE) framework is proposed to forecast the peak and short-term electricity demand using time series data from February 2, 2014, to...

Lie Symmetry Analysis of C1m,a,b Partial Differential Equations

In this article, we discussed the Lie symmetry analysis of C1m,a,b fractional and integer order differential equations. The symmetry algebra of both differential equations is obtained and utilized to find the similarity reductions, invarian...

BUGSnet: an R package to facilitate the conduct and reporting of Bayesian network Meta-analyses

Abstract Background Several reviews have noted shortcomings regarding the quality and reporting of network meta-analyses (NMAs). We suspect that this issue may be partially attributable to limitations in current NMA software which do not re...

Elliptic problems with nonmonotone discontinuities at resonance (Erratum)

Extremes of Product of Gaussian Random Variables

We investigate the asymptotic behavior of the product of Gaussian random variables, with a focus on tail probabilities. Although sums of normal variables are well understood through classical limit theorems, their products exhibit significa...
