Power Grid Load Forecasting Using a CNN-LSTM Network Based on a Multi-Modal Attention Mechanism by Wangyong Guo, Shijin Liu, Liguo Weng, Xingyu Liang

“…Optimizing short-term load forecasting performance is a challenge due to the non-linearity and randomness of electrical load, as well as the variability of system operating patterns. Existing methods often fail to consider how to effectively combine their complementary advantages and fail to fully capture the internal information in the load sequence, leading to a decrease in accuracy. …”

How socioeconomic status moderates the stunting-age relationship in low-income and middle-income countries by S V Subramanian, Christian Bommer, Sebastian Vollmer

“…We aim to fill this gap by providing an in-depth analysis of the role of socioeconomic status (SES) as a moderator for the stunting-age pattern.Methods Epidemiological and socioeconomic data from 72 Demographic and Health Surveys (DHS) were used to calculate stunting-age patterns by SES quartiles, derived from an index of household assets. …”

Agent-based modelling of Mycobacterium tuberculosis transmission: a systematic review by Viet Long Bui, Angus E. Hughes, Romain Ragonnet, Michael T. Meehan, Alec Henderson, Emma S. McBryde, James M. Trauer

“…Abstract Background Traditional epidemiological models tend to oversimplify the transmission dynamics of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M.tb) to replicate observed tuberculosis (TB) epidemic patterns. This has led to growing interest in advanced methodologies like agent-based modelling (ABM), which can more accurately represent the complex heterogeneity of TB transmission. …”
