Academic achievement inspired machine learning methods for student grade prediction and at-risk detection by Wei, Qiu

“…To jointly consider the three important aspects\textemdash temporal dynamics of prior courses across previous semesters, short-term performance consistency, and relative performance against peers, an academic achievement inspired grade prediction (A2GP) model is proposed. …”

Three essays on corporate finance by Fu, Kangkang

“…Moreover, from the principal customers’ perspective, a higher level of environmental risk lowers a supplier firm’s probability of being selected relative to its industry peers by its potential customer. Conditional on an ongoing relationship with principal customers, supplier firms with high environmental risk have lower sales to principal customers and shorter relationship durations. …”

Health economic aspects of childhood excess weight by Onyimadu, O

“…My analyses of CPRD-HES data revealed that children living with overweight and obesity incurred significantly higher direct healthcare costs than their peers with a healthy weight. In comparison to children with healthy weight, those living with overweight generated additional costs of £133.93 and £66.32, on average, in the year preceding and following a BMI measurement, respectively, while children with obesity incurred additional costs of £115.47 and £154.51, on average, during the same periods. …”

Compatibility and combination of world W-boson mass measurements by Amoroso, S., Andari, N., Barter, W., Bendavid, J., Boonekamp, M., Farry, S., Grünewald, M., Hays, C., Hunter, R., Kretzschmar, J., Lupton, O., Pili, M., Ramos Pernas, M., Tuchming, B., Vesterinen, M., Vicini, A., Wang, C., Xu, M.

“…The compatibility of <jats:italic>W</jats:italic>-boson mass measurements performed by the ATLAS, LHCb, CDF, and D0 experiments is studied using a coherent framework with theory uncertainty correlations. …”

Constraint satisfaction approach to product configuration with cost estimation by Wang, Lin

“…Thus, cost can be utilized as a coherent criterion for product configuration. To study the impact of changes to cost drivers and design parameters on the cost of a product, the entire product family, or even the entire product lifecycle, cost variation constraint are proposed. …”

Modélisation des interactions en Italie du Nord au premier âge du Fer: de la circulation de parures aux réseaux d’influences culturelles by Cicolani, V, Huet, T, Zamboni, L

“…The modeling, based on graph theory and the application of community detection algorithms (here edge.betweenness.community, from 'igraph' R package) enables the degree of importance and proximity between groups to be assessed by hierarchical segmentation of links, in order to identify coherent clusters. By breaking the links between sub-groups of nodes, we can identify groups of nodes that share more with each other than they share with the other nodes in the graph (communities of attributes). …”

Rethinking speech sound disorder (SSD) in non-syndromic cleft lip and palate: the importance of recognizing phonological and language difficulties by van Eeden, S, McKean, C, Stringer, H

“…There is growing evidence of concomitant language difficulties in children with CP ± L and of a higher prevalence of developmental speech errors in children compared with non-CP ± L peers. The impact of underlying phonological and language skills on speech production in children with CP ± L is poorly understood. …”
