Impact of pulmonary rehabilitation in sleep in COPD patients measured by actigraphy. by Suman B Thapamagar, Kathleen Ellstrom, James D Anholm, Ramiz A Fargo, Nagamani Dandamudi

“…Paired comparisons (t-test or Wilcoxon-signed-rank test) were performed before and after PR data on all variables.<h4>Methods</h4>This retrospective study of COPD patients undergoing PR utilized actigraphy watch recordings before and after 8-weeks of PR to assess changes in sleep variables including total time in bed (TBT), total sleep time (TST), sleep onset latency (SOL), sleep efficiency (SE), wakefulness after sleep onset (WASO) and total nocturnal awakenings. …”

Optimized integration of photovoltaic systems and distribution static compensators in distribution networks using a novel discrete-continuous version of the adaptive JAYA algorithm... by Paolo Iván Cubillo-Leyton, Oscar Danilo Montoya, Luis Fernando Grisales-Noreña

“…For comparison, the discrete-continuous versions of the vortex search algorithm (VSA), the sine-cosine algorithm (SCA), Phasor Particle Swarm Optimization (PPSO), New Self-Organising Hierarchical PSO (NHPSO-JTVAC), Differential Evolution (DE), Gold Search Optimization (GSO) and the classical version of JAYA are used, validating the effectiveness of our proposal on the 33- and 69-bus test systems while considering variable generation and demand. In terms of the best solution, the average solution, and the required processing times, the AJAYA-SA strategy yields the best results in both test systems, making it the most efficient method to solve the problem under study.…”

Predicting the Permeability of Pervious Concrete Based on the Beetle Antennae Search Algorithm and Random Forest Model by Jiandong Huang, Tianhong Duan, Yi Zhang, Jiandong Liu, Jia Zhang, Yawei Lei

“…The results showed that the hyperparameters of RF can be tuned by the BAS efficiently; the BAS can combine the conventional RF algorithm to construct the evolved model to predict the permeability of pervious concrete; the cement/aggregate ratio was the most significant variable to determine the permeability, followed by the coarse aggregate proportions.…”

Experiments in globalisation, food security and land use decision making. by Calum Brown, Dave Murray-Rust, Jasper van Vliet, Shah Jamal Alam, Peter H Verburg, Mark D Rounsevell

“…Both outcomes are subject to the responses of individual land managers to economic and environmental stimuli, and these responses are known to be variable and often (economically) irrational. We investigate the consequences of stylised food security policies and globalisation of agricultural markets on land use patterns under a variety of modelled forms of land manager behaviour, including variation in production levels, tenacity, land use intensity and multi-functionality. …”

“…We systematically dissect the multifaceted regulatory circuits governing lactate metabolism by integrating three pivotal dimensions: (i) canonical signaling cascades; (ii) tumor-microenvironmental variables, most notably hypoxia and acidosis; and (iii) the emerging epigenetic paradigm of lactylation, which dynamically reprograms the catalytic efficiency of rate-limiting enzymes and reshapes the transcriptional landscape of metabolic genes, thereby precisely coordinating lactate homeostasis. …”
