Prediction of shoulder load from wearable sensors for wheelchair related activities: A machine learning approach. by Sabrina Amrein, Charlotte Werner, Wiebe de Vries

“…Results & Discussion Starting with simple input (upper arm sensors only) and a linear neural network (NN, one input, one hidden, one output layer for total JRF; iteratively trained following a Leave One Subject Out approach, a R2 of around 60% was obtained between predicted JRF (NN) and target (MSM output), but results varied considerably over participants. …”

Prediction of risk of recurrence of venous thromboembolism following treatment for a first unprovoked venous thromboembolism: systematic review, prognostic model and clinical decis... by Joie Ensor, Richard D Riley, Sue Jowett, Mark Monahan, Kym IE Snell, Susan Bayliss, David Moore, David Fitzmaurice, on behalf of the PIT-STOP collaborative group

“…A novel internal–external cross-validation (IECV) approach was used to develop and validate a prognostic model, with external validation undertaken in each of the trials iteratively. Given good performance in the IECV approach, a final model was developed using all trials data. …”

ED²IF²-Net: Learning Disentangled Deformed Implicit Fields and Enhanced Displacement Fields from Single Images Using Pyramid Vision Transformer by Xiaoqiang Zhu, Xinsheng Yao, Junjie Zhang, Mengyao Zhu, Lihua You, Xiaosong Yang, Jianjun Zhang, He Zhao, Dan Zeng

“…A coarse shape decoder reconstructs a coarse implicit field based on the global vector, a deformation decoder iteratively refines the coarse implicit field using the pixel-aligned local features to obtain a deformed implicit field through multiple implicit field deformation blocks (IFDBs), and a surface detail decoder predicts an enhanced displacement field using the local features with hybrid attention modules (HAMs). …”

Single-Cell Transcriptome Analysis Highlights a Role for Neutrophils and Inflammatory Macrophages in the Pathogenesis of Severe COVID-19 by Hibah Shaath, Radhakrishnan Vishnubalaji, Eyad Elkord, Nehad M. Alajez

“…Herein, we employed iterative clustering and guide-gene selection 2 (ICGS2) as well as uniform manifold approximation and projection (UMAP) dimensionality reduction computational algorithms to decipher the complex immune and cellular composition of BAL, using publicly available datasets from a total of 68,873 single cells derived from two healthy subjects, three patients with mild COVID-19, and five patients with severe COVID-19. …”

The Possible Learning and Teaching Benefits of Short Mind-calming Exercises in Undergraduate Courses by Paul Grogan

“…Finally, my teaching performance in university-based student assessments of the third-year course was significantly elevated in the year with mind-calming exercises compared to each of the previous nine iterations in which I had been an instructor. Together, these quantitative results suggest that the regular use of such exercises has multiple direct and indirect benefits that may contribute to more effective undergraduate learning and teaching. …”

Aerosol hygroscopicity derived from size-segregated chemical composition and its parameterization in the North China Plain by H. J. Liu, C. S. Zhao, B. Nekat, N. Ma, A. Wiedensohler, D. van Pinxteren, G. Spindler, K. Müller, H. Herrmann

“…The size-segregated aerosol particulate mass concentration as well as the particle components such as inorganic ions, organic carbon and water-soluble organic carbon (WSOC) are identified from aerosol particle samples collected with a ten-stage impactor. An iterative algorithm is developed to evaluate the hygroscopicity parameter κ from the measured chemical composition of particles. …”

Toward a Resilient Public Transportation System: Effective Monitoring and Control under Service Disruptions by Mo, Baichuan

“…To tackle the lack of an analytical formulation of travel times due to left behind, we propose a simulation-based first-order approximation to transform the original problem into a linear program and solve it iteratively with the method of successive average. The fifth study proposes an individual-based path recommendation model with the objective of minimizing total system travel time and respecting passengers’ path choice preferences. …”
