Objective: The study's overarching goal is to improve E-health monitoring systems’ precision and performance by developing and implementing an Rendezvous Data Processing Model (RDPM) that is compatible with IoT-cloud architecture. The approach solves a problem with current E-health systems; these systems frequently make incorrect or redundant suggestions because they depend too much on static analytic methods and isolated data augmentation. Methods: The RDPM system recommended improves real-time decision-ma

Biomolecular condensates are thought to play a pivotal role in cellular organization by regulating biochemical reactants in space and time. Sustained molecular fluxes across condensate boundaries, together with the participation of phase-separating molecules in active chemical reactions such as ATP hydrolysis, call for a nonequilibrium description. Here, we propose a self-consistent framework in which diffusion-drift dynamics and chemical reactions are coupled through a conditional free energy, defined as t

Objectives: To determine whether heterogeneous treatment effects (HTE) explain the inconclusive results of targeted temperature management (TTM) trials after cardiac arrest, using causal machine learning across four datasets. Design: Secondary analysis of one multicenter RCT and three observational ICU cohorts using S-learner and forest-based R-learner models to estimate conditional average treatment effects (CATE). Setting: Twenty-six French ICUs (HYPERION), approximately 200 U.S. ICUs (eICU-CRD), Johns Ho

Soft materials, though often shadowed by their hard counterparts such as plastics, concrete or metals, are indispensable in daily life. Among them, elastomers are particularly promising for emerging technologies, including soft robotics and flexible biomedical devices, where their softness enables safer interaction and greater freedom of movement. Their lightweight and energy efficiency also contribute to reducing the carbon footprint of devices. However, the broader adoption of elastomers in high-performan

Understanding groundwater flow in heterogeneous alluvial aquifers is essential for sustainable water resource management and preserving riparian ecosystems, particularly in mountainous regions where surface–subsurface interactions play a critical role. This study investigates the hydrological functioning of the R¨othenbach alluvial aquifer (Emmental, Switzerland), a dynamic pre-Alpine groundwater system. Using historical data from the 1986 Blue Report and new geological interpretations, 2D and 3D steady-sta

Introduction: The unprecedented speed and scale of the COVID-19 pandemic necessitated the rapid implementation of untested public health measures to mitigate the consequences of viral spread. In the 8 months that have passed since the first recognized case, an enormous amount of research has been published evaluating the efficacy of the various policies implemented by different countries, however the majority of these studies focus on a specific region or time, over-representing high-income countries during

The Arctic is warming faster than Earth on average (Arctic amplification) and the extent of the sea ice coverage has decreased dramatically over the past decades, especially in summer. However, the underlying processes behind this amplification are not well understood because of many feedback mechanisms between the ocean, the atmosphere and the cryosphere. Clouds are an important player in the Arctic radiative budget, as they almost always have a net surface warming effect. However, models struggle to repro

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disease associated with progressive and inexorable loss of dopaminergic cells in Substantia Nigra pars compacta (SNc). Although many mechanisms have been suggested, a decisive root cause of this cell loss is ...

The possibility for helium-induced electronic transitions in a photo-excited atom is investigated using Ba+ excited to the 6p 2P state as a prototypical example. A diabatization scheme has been designed to obtain the necessary potential energy surfaces and ...

Muscle force control of musculoskeletal humanoid systems has been studied for years in the motor control, biomechanics and robotics disciplines. However, the study of "load-distributed" muscle control has seldomly been contemplated. In this paper, we consi ...

The electro-mechanical coupling and resonance characteristics of a piezoelectric modulated thin film bulk acoustic wave resonator (PMBAR) is described quantitatively. The derived 1-D analytical model is in agreement with 2-D finite element modeling (FEM). The modeling shows that a pure shear mode excitation can be achieved and that coupling of parasitic Lamb waves is reduced in this design.

In the context of sustainable development, there is a growing interest in mapping soil characteristics and land use, in particular to evaluate threats to soil quality. Fast non-invasive geophysical surveys have been used to estimate the areal distribution of soil properties, such as moisture content, texture and salinity. All geophysical methodologies rely on constitutive relationships to convert the measured variables in the corresponding properties of interest. Among the most used methodologies are those

This study is part of a long term study on a male rat model of peripubertal stress in the Laboratory of Behavioural Genetics that shows increase aggressive behaviours against their partners. We are using here these rats in order to create a female rat model victim of Intimate Partner Violence during pregnancy and to study the generalisation of fear to all male, that is a symptom of this type of aggression, through behavioural analysis, serotonergic cell activation of the Dorsal Raphe Nucleus (DRN) and activ

We study the competition between antiferromagnetic order and valence-bond-crystal formation in a two-dimensional frustrated spin-1/2 model. The J(1)-J(2) model on the square lattice is further frustrated by introducing products of three-spin projectors whi ...

In recent years the electricity sector has undergone a number of changes that all point in the direction of liberalization and decentralization of control. However, a number of technological challenges have to be addressed before the desired degree of decentralization is obtained. Currently, most of the decisions about the operation of a power system are still made in control centers in a centralized fashion. We present in this paper a distributed optimization method that allows several power plant operator

This article analyzes the impact of managerial discretion and corporate control mechanisms on leverage and firm value within a contingent claims model where the manager derives perquisites from investment. Optimal capital structure reflects both the tax advantage of debt less bankruptcy costs and the agency costs of managerial discretion. Actual capital structure reflects the trade-off made by the manager between his empire-building desires and the need to ensure sufficient efficiency to prevent control cha

Localized electron heating and current drive, like those produced by electron cyclotron heating (ECH) systems, are powerful tools for controlling the sawtooth period. They allow the direct modification of the plasma parameters which determine the sawtooth stability. In this paper we report a set of new experimental results obtained in the TokamakConfiguration Variable (TCV) and a set of related simulations obtained applying a sawtooth period model in a transport code. The TCV device, equipped with a very fl

There is an analogy between one-chip CCD cameras and the human visual system in that these two systems acquire only one wavelength sensitivity band per spatial location. We have exploited this analogy, defining a model that characterizes a one-color per spatial position image as a coding into luminance and chrominance of the corresponding three-colors per spatial position image. Luminance is defined with full spatial resolution while chrominance contains sub-sampled opponent colors. Moreover, luminance and

The understanding of dynamic metabolic regulations is important for physiol. studies and strain characterization tasks. The present study combined transient expts. with online metabolic flux anal. (MFA) in order to quantify metabolic regulations, namely carbon catabolite repression of respiration and transient acetic-acid prodn., in Saccharomyces cerevisiae during aerobic growth on glucose. The aim was to investigate which addnl. information can be gained from using a small metabolic flux model to study tra

Risk assessment is in urgent need of more accurate toxic effect endpoints than those currently in use, especially for low concentrations. Often such endpoints are estimated by analysis of variance, linear interpolation, or smoothing. As these statistical methods are not always satisfactory, some authors have proposed to describe the entire dose-response curves by fully formalized parametric regression models whose parameters have toxicological meaning. These models allow a better evaluation of pollutant eff
