Preventive-Corrective Control for Static Voltage Stability Under Multiple <tex>$N-1$</tex> Contingencies Considering Wind Power Uncertainty by Yuerong Yang, Shunjiang Lin, Qiong Wang, Mingbo Liu, Qifeng Li

“…The chance constraints of the static voltage stability margins (SVSMs) in the normal operation state and after each <tex>$N-1$</tex> contingency are included. The approximate functions between the probability density functions (PDFs) of SVSMs and load shedding quantity with respect to preventive control variables are obtained to transform the expectation of load shedding quantity and the SVSM chance constraints into deterministic expressions. …”

Comparative evaluation of machine learning models for enhancing diagnostic accuracy of otitis media with effusion in children with adenoid hypertrophy by Xiaote Zhang, Qiaoyi Xie, Ganggang Wu

“…Confusion matrix analysis further confirmed RF as the optimal model, achieving 0.875 accuracy and robust inter-rater agreement (Cohen's kappa coefficient = 0.696) in the testing cohort. SHAP analysis identified the adenoid-to-nasopharyngeal ratio as the predominant diagnostic indicator, followed by tympanometric type and history of recurrent respiratory infections.ConclusionAn RF-based diagnostic model effectively identifies OME in AH children by integrating anatomical, functional, and inflammatory parameters, providing a clinically applicable tool for enhanced diagnostic accuracy and evidence-based management decisions.…”
