Addition of macrolide antibiotics for hospital treatment of community-acquired pneumonia by Wei, J, Walker, S, Eyre, D

“…</p> <br> <p><strong>Conclusions:</strong> At a population level, the addition of macrolides was not associated with improved clinical outcomes for CAP patients. The potential advantages of combining macrolides with a β-lactam antibiotic in CAP treatment should be balanced against the risks of adverse effects and antimicrobial resistance.…”

Artificial intelligence driven real-time decision-making framework for hierarchical energy management system (Hi-EMS) under dynamically changing scenarios by Tan, Jeremy Min Ze

“…In this context, the use of deep reinforcement learning (DRL) can provide continuous control to the power factor of the solar photovoltaics (PVs) , reactive power of the capacitor banks (CBs) and tap settings of the on-load tap changer (OLTC) transformer to adapt to the rapidly changing voltage in the power system. …”

Electrical characterization of bias temperature instability in MOSFETs with the ultrathin SiON and la-doped HfSiO gate dielectrics by Du, Guoan.

“…The relatively deep level E'γ4 configurations are responsible for slow interfacial trapped charges. The bipolar nature of interfacial trapped charges can be explained physically with E'γ4 configurations, which has three phases, hole traps, neutral dipole, and electron traps.…”

Study of degradation mechanisms in SiON gate dielectric film subjected to negative bias temperature instability (NBTI) stress by Kang, Chun Wei.

“…And, we have shown that stress-induced leakage current shares the same defect origin with the switching hole trap related to NBTI. Gate leakage current remains the same before and after nominal NBTI condition when no transformation of E’ center occurs although interface traps has been significantly generated. …”
