Modeling of Mechanical Stress Exerted by Cholesterol Crystallization on Atherosclerotic Plaques by Luo, Yuemei, Cui, Dongyao, Yu, Xiaojun, Chen, Si, Liu, Xinyu, Tang, Hongying, Wang, Xianghong, Liu, Linbo

“…The results demonstrate that (1) the peak circumference stress is proportionally dependent on the cholesterol crystal growth; (2) cholesterol crystals at the cap shoulder impose the highest peak circumference stress; and (3) spatial distributions of cholesterol crystals have a significant impact on the peak circumference stress: evenly distributed cholesterol crystals exert less peak circumferential stress on the cap than concentrated crystals.…”

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. …”
