Scientific planning of dynamic crops in complex agricultural landscapes based on adaptive optimization hybrid SA-GA method by Changlong Li, Zengye Su, Yudan Nie, Zhiyi Ye, Jinyi Li, Jing Wang, Zicong Yang, Xuxin Li, Weijian Zeng, Yanjian Chen

“…The results demonstrate that the proposed H-SAGA approach consistently achieves 5–10 percentage points higher profit increment ratios than other benchmark optimization algorithms (such as GA, SA, PSO, and ACO), alongside faster convergence and notable robustness against environmental and economic variability. This research establishes an integrated “monitoring-modelling-decision” paradigm, driven by multi-source data and machine learning, offering a practical and robust tool that provides valuable guidance for enhancing resource allocation efficiency and promoting sustainable precision agriculture in complex topographical regions, thereby holding significant reference value for optimising agricultural production nationwide.…”

Total cholesterol/high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio is a candidate predictor of survival outcomes in patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma by Oktay Halit Aktepe, Ozge Yetginoglu, Mehmet Sinan Akarca, Canberk Sencan, Ahmet Unal, Elif Atag, Huseyin Salih Semiz, Aziz Karaoglu, Mustafa Erman, Suayib Yalcin

“…Receiver operating characteristic analysis showed that TC/HDL-C levels of 3.8 and 4 were optimal cut-off values in predicting PFS and OS, respectively. Patients with a high TC/HDL-C ratio had worse PFS and OS times than those with a low ratio (8.7 months vs. 19.3, p < 0.001; 24 months vs. 74.7 months, p = 0.003, respectively). …”

Clinical Predictive Factors of Response to Biologics in IBD by Roxana SADAGURSCHI, A. DOBROMIRESCU, Ruxandra BABIUC, Lucian NEGREANU

“…Factors identified as potential predictors include disease behavior/ phenotype, disease severity, CRP, prior anti-TNF exposure, but the results were variable and sometimes conflicting. For VDZ, even more discouraging results were obtained, with only few factors (disease severity and prior anti-TNF exposure) showing limited value. …”

Data-driven EV charging infrastructure with uncertainty based on a spatial–temporal flow-driven (STFD) models considering batteries by Talal Alharbi, Ahmed Abdalrahman, Mostafa H. Mostafa

“…This research proposes a comprehensive planning methodology that optimizes the placement of EV charging stations by considering traffic flow patterns over space and time. Additionally, a stochastic modeling approach is introduced to identify the optimal locations for ESS, taking into account uncertainties such as variable electrical loads and the intermittent nature of renewable energy sources (RESs). …”

Study of motor load regulation training with visual feedback in patients with diabetic polyneuropathy by N. D. Babanov, D. V. Frolov, E. V. Krukov, E. N. Panova, O. V. Kubryak

“…A quantitative assessment of the external result (execution of instructions) and parameters of regulation of the vertical posture was carried out.RESULTS: All patients included in the follow-up showed that the implementation of instructions with increasing depth of feedback decreased sharply when the conditionally «normal» value was exceeded by 30–35%. At the same time, the initial parameters of vertical posture control in the sample patients did not affect the dynamics of results when performing the task with visual feedback. …”
