Beyond Spirometry: Linking Wasted Ventilation to Exertional Dyspnea in the Initial Stages of COPD by J. Alberto Neder, Giles Santyr, Brandon Zanette, Miranda Kirby, Marina Pourafkari, Matthew D. James, Sandra G. Vincent, Carrie Ferguson, Chu-Yi Wang, Nicolle J. Domnik, Devin B. Phillips, Janos Porszasz, William W. Stringer, Denis E. O’Donnell

“…Several lines of evidence indicate that the so-called excess ventilation (high ventilation-CO2 output relationship) primarily reflects poor gas exchange efficiency, namely increased physiological dead space. …”

Proposing Optimized Random Forest Models for Predicting Compressive Strength of Geopolymer Composites by Feng Bin, Shahab Hosseini, Jie Chen, Pijush Samui, Hadi Fattahi, Danial Jahed Armaghani

“…We present a comparative analysis of two hybrid models, Harris Hawks Optimization with Random Forest (HHO-RF) and Sine Cosine Algorithm with Random Forest (SCA-RF), against traditional regression methods and classical models like the Extreme Learning Machine (ELM), General Regression Neural Network (GRNN), and Radial Basis Function (RBF). Using a comprehensive dataset derived from various scientific publications, we focus on key input variables including the fine aggregate, GGBS, fly ash, sodium hydroxide (NaOH) molarity, and others. …”

Research on Robust Adaptive Model Predictive Control Based on Vehicle State Uncertainty by Yinping Li, Li Liu

“…To overcome these limitations, three key innovations are introduced: a three-degree-of-freedom vehicle dynamic model integrated with recursive least squares-based online estimation of tire slip stiffness for real-time lateral force compensation; an adaptive weight adjustment mechanism that dynamically balances control energy consumption and tracking accuracy by tuning cost function weights based on real-time state errors; and a dynamic constraint relaxation strategy using slack variables with variable penalty terms to resolve infeasibility while suppressing excessive constraint violations. …”

Gross Tonnage-Based Statistical Modeling and Calculation of Shipping Emissions for the Bosphorus Strait by Kaan Ünlügençoğlu

“…These EPA-estimated values served as dependent variables in the modeling process. The modeling framework followed a three-step strategy: (1) outlier detection using Rosner’s test to reduce the influence of outliers on model accuracy, (2) curve fitting with 12 regression models representing four curve types—polynomial (e.g., linear, quadratic), concave/convex (e.g., exponential, logarithmic), sigmoidal (e.g., logistic, Gompertz, Weibull), and spline-based (e.g., cubic spline, natural spline)—to capture diverse functional relationships between GT and emissions, and (3) model comparison using difference performance metrics to ensure a comprehensive assessment of predictive accuracy, consistency, and bias. …”

Explaining trunk strength variation and improvement following resistance training in people with chronic low back pain: clinical and performance-based outcomes analysis by Shouq Althobaiti, David Jiménez‑Grande, Janet A. Deane, Deborah Falla

“…The baseline trunk extension strength variance (R 2 = .65) was explained by demographic covariates and lumbar erector spinae (LES) activity during a maximum trunk extension contraction. Demographic variables, trunk muscle co-activation, baseline trunk flexion strength, level of physical function, and pain intensity over the past week influenced the change in trunk flexion strength after training (R 2 = .93). …”
