Robust adaptive optimization for sustainable water demand prediction in water distribution systems by Ke Wang, Jiayang Meng, Zhangquan Wang, Kehua Zhao, Banteng Liu

“…To further enhance the model’s robustness, an innovative optimization algorithm is incorporated within the CEEMD process to minimize the variance in multi-scale arrangement entropy among the decomposed components, thereby improving the model’s generalization capabilities. The predictive power of the proposed model is harnessed through the construction of deep neural networks that utilize the decomposed data to forecast minutely water demand. …”

Pleiotropic effects of a recessive Col1a2 mutation occurring in a mouse model of severe osteogenesis imperfecta. by Michelangelo Corcelli, Rachel Sagar, Ellen Petzendorfer, Mohammad Mehedi Hasan, Fleur S van Dijk, Anna L David, Pascale V Guillot

“…In Europe, approximately 85-90% of individuals with Osteogenesis Imperfecta (OI) have dominant pathogenic variants in the Col1a1 or Col1a2 genes whilst for Asian, especially Indian and Chinese cohorts, this ratio is much lower. This leads to decreased or abnormal Collagen type I production. …”
