Short-term load forecasting by wavelet transform and evolutionary extreme learning machine by Li, Song, Wang, Peng, Goel, Lalit

“…This paper proposes a novel short-term load forecasting (STLF) method based on wavelet transform, extreme learning machine (ELM) and modified artificial bee colony (MABC) algorithm. The wavelet transform is used to decompose the load series for capturing the complicated features at different frequencies. …”

Microfluidic plasma extraction from blood using wash-free pneumatic system by Lin, Yun Jia

“…The flow stability of the system was evaluated and found to be satisfactory, with a standard deviation of 0.23, 18.80, and 0.02 for flow rate of outlet 1, outlet 2, and the separation efficiency of 50 nm beads (to mimic plasma), respectively. Hemacytometer results showed no cells in outlet 1 and PPP, indicating good cell depletion during the plasma extraction process using the pneumatic system. …”
