ESTIMATION OF THE CONCRETE PAVEMENT TEMPERATURE FIELDS AND THEIR GRADIENTS by M. K. Pshembaev, Ya. N. Kovalev, V. D. Akelyev

“…The authors report of developing a С++ computer program for temperature and gradient fields engineering evaluations of the road dressings made of materials with various surfacing and free-air thermophysical characteristics in line with boundary conditions of the 3rd kind for semi-bounded body. The paper presents the evaluation results in form of graphical curves of the temperature allocation along the surfacing thickness as function of its initial temperature and thermophysical characteristics of the concrete.…”

Autoencoder techniques for survival analysis on renal cell carcinoma. by Iñigo Sanz Ilundain, Laura Hernández-Lorenzo, Cristina Rodríguez-Antona, Jesús García-Donas, José L Ayala

“…In this study, we addressed this challenge by compressing the high-dimensional transcriptomic data of patients treated with immunotherapy (avelumab + axitinib) and a TKI (sunitinib) into latent, meaningful features using autoencoders. We applied a semi-parametric statistical approach based on the COX Proportional Hazards model, coupled with Breslow's estimator, to predict each patient's Progression-Free Survival (PFS) and determine survival functions. …”

The impact of clot permeability on platelet fluxes toward its surface. by Niksa Mohammadi Bagheri, Gabor Závodszky, Alfons G Hoekstra

“…This study systematically investigates the transport of platelets, considering the interaction between flow-mediated mass transfer mechanisms and reaction kinetics as a function of clot permeability. A two-dimensional finite element model is developed to replicate static blood flow, platelet transport, and adhesion on a semi-elliptical and semi-circular structure representing permeable clots. …”

Urban Retail in Inland Abruzzo: Between Decline and New Polarities by Bernardo Cardinale, Dante Di Matteo, Concettina Pascetta, Luca Zarrilli

“…Availing of descriptive and semi-parametric approaches, we found that some public policies, like subsides and pedestrianisation, had an impact on retailers’ perception based in inland areas even higher than those localised in coastal areas, while other features still remain lacking, such as accessibility; besides, compared with coastal areas, consumers’ perceptions in inland areas show an higher social function, where buying behavior is less hedonic and more functional to the needs of local communities.…”
