A Quality Soft Sensing Method Designed for Complex Multi-process Manufacturing Procedures by Kaixiang PENG, Xin QIN, Jiahao WANG, Hui YANG

“…In this context, this study proposes a soft measurement modeling method for quality in multi-procedure complex manufacturing processes, considering process time delays, based on mRMR-GA-ResNet.Methods First, in complex manufacturing processes with continuous multi-procedure production, different process variables and quality variables exhibit varying time delays, complicating the selection of auxiliary variables. …”

Use of benefits during pregnancy: a cohort study in four organisations in Spain by Consol Serra, Fernando G Benavides, Xavier Duran, Pilar Peña, Martina Lupia, Rosa Serrano, Joan Inglés, Júlia Pratdesava, Pere Plana

“…Three pregnancy trajectories were identified, characterised by mostly active work, active work combined with POR and active work with SL, with differences by workplace, occupation and work area (p value<0.001). The total time in days during which pregnant women were actively working ranged between 56% and 64% depending on the organisation.Conclusions This study in four organisations shows a very similar pattern regarding total time absent from work during pregnancy. …”

Creating Tail Dependence by Rough Stochastic Correlation Satisfying a Fractional SDE; An Application in Finance by László Márkus, Ashish Kumar, Amina Darougi

“…We model this rough stochastic correlation by a suitably transformed fractional Ornstein–Uhlenbeck process and simulate artificial stock prices, which allows computing tail dependence and the Herding Behavior Index (HIX) as functions in time. The computed HIX is hardly variable in time (e.g., standard deviation of 0.003–0.006); on the contrary, tail dependence fluctuates more heavily (e.g., standard deviation approx. 0.04). …”

18F-FDG PET/CT assessment of metabolic tumor burden predicts survival in patients with metastatic posterior uveal melanoma by Tine Gadegaard Hindso, Torben Martinussen, Camilla Wium Bjerrum, Sune Høgild Keller, Annika Loft, Mette Bagger Sjøl, Kristoffer Nissen, Carsten Faber, Marco Donia, Inge Marie Svane, Eva Ellebaek, Steffen Heegaard, Jens Folke Kiilgaard, Karine Madsen

“…The three parameters were also independent predictors in the multivariate Cox model, while the AJCC staging turned insignificant. Time-dependent positive predictive value (PPV) analysis and Receiver Operating Characteristics (ROC) curves showed that MTV (Area Under the Curve (AUC) = 0.78), TLG (AUC = 0.78), and LDLM (AUC = 0.76) were good predictors of 1-year survival. …”
