Minimizing Delay and Power Consumption at the Edge by Erol Gelenbe

“…Prior work has mainly focused on two methodologies: (i) formulating non-linear optimizations that lead to NP-hard problems, which are processed via heuristics, and (ii) using AI-based formulations, such as reinforcement learning, that are then tested with simulations. These prior approaches have two shortcomings: (a) there is no guarantee that optimum solutions are achieved, and (b) they do not provide an explicit formula for the fraction of tasks that are allocated to the different servers to achieve a specified optimum. …”

Simultaneous analysis of all SNPs in genome-wide and re-sequencing association studies. by Clive J Hoggart, John C Whittaker, Maria De Iorio, David J Balding

“…We investigated two prior distributions and show that the normal-exponential-gamma prior leads to improved SNP selection in comparison with single-SNP tests. We also derived an explicit approximation for type-I error that avoids the need to use permutation procedures. …”

WRF-ELM v1.0: a regional climate model to study land–atmosphere interactions over heterogeneous land use regions by H. Huang, Y. Qian, G. Bisht, J. Wang, T. Chakraborty, D. Hao, J. Li, T. Thurber, B. Singh, Z. Yang, Y. Liu, P. Xue, P. Xue, W. J. Sacks, E. Coon, R. Hetland

“…Originating from the Community Land Model (CLM) version 4.5, ELM has been under active development, with added new features and functionality, including plant hydraulics, radiation–topography interaction, subsurface multiphase flow, and more explicit land use and management practices. This study integrates ELM v2.1 with the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF; WRF-ELM) model through a modified Lightweight Infrastructure for Land Atmosphere Coupling (LILAC) framework, enabling affordable high-resolution regional modeling by leveraging ELM's innovative features alongside WRF's diverse atmospheric parameterization options. …”

Empowering future educators: digital literacy competence and preservice teachers practices in middle schools of Pakistan by Bushra Jamil, Mirajur Rhaman Shaoan, Ayu Novianti Lahinta, Sadia Irfan, Muhammad Arif

“…In contrast, there is a marked decrease in the self-efficacy of innovative pedagogical tools (mean 3.5/5), pointing towards a competence gap. T-tests show that prior DLC training substantially affects the practicalification (p = .006), or, in other words, prior DLC training is practical. …”

Manipulating self and other schemas to explore psychological processes associated with paranoid beliefs: an online experimental study by Anton P. Martinez, Elizabeth Milne, Georgina Rowse, Richard P. Bentall

“…However, no study to date has explored these effects on trustworthiness judgments.ObjectiveThis study aims to replicate the findings from previous experiments and also testing the effect of manipulating relational schemas on trustworthiness evaluations.MethodsA convenience online sample of 266 participants completed a series of tasks and questionnaires measuring attachment styles, explicit and implicit self-esteem, paranoia, and trustworthiness evaluations before and after a brief CC intervention, which involved being randomly allocated to three conditions. …”

Choice of method of place cell classification determines the population of cells identified. by Dori M Grijseels, Kira Shaw, Caswell Barry, Catherine N Hall

“…Several methods have been proposed as a means to identify place cells based on their calcium activity but there is no common standard and it is unclear how reliable different approaches are. Here we tested four methods that have previously been applied to two-photon hippocampal imaging or electrophysiological data, using both model datasets and real imaging data. …”

Navigating mortality: exploring the dynamic changes related to cultural worldviews and self-esteem in cancer patients by Jia Zhou, Furong Zhou, Yan Tang, Jun Ma

“…In Study 2, there were no significant differences in explicit self-esteem among cancer patients in different psychological stages of death; however, there were differences in tests of implicit self-esteem, with the lowest scores on the depression and suicidal ideation scales in the Acceptance of Death stage, the most pronounced suicidal ideation in the Bargaining stage, and the highest scores on depression in the Avoidance of Death stage. …”

Fluctuating ecological networks: A synthesis of maximum‐entropy approaches for pattern detection and process inference by Tancredi Caruso, Giulio Virginio Clemente, Matthias C. Rillig, Diego Garlaschelli

“…Fluctuations of species' properties can significantly affect higher‐order network features, for example, robustness and nestedness, and should therefore be taken into account in null models for pattern detection and hypothesis testing. In ecological research, classical null models treat node‐level properties as ‘hard’ constraints that cannot fluctuate. …”

Flow Resistance and Hydraulic Geometry in Gravel‐And Boulder‐Bed Rivers by Rob Ferguson, Alain Recking

“…We show that any RS equation has an implicit or explicit HG equivalent, and the other way round. Analysis of a large set of flow measurements in gravel‐ and boulder‐bed channels confirms previous findings that HG equations using D84 outperform mathematically equivalent RS equations in predicting velocity. …”
