Cost-effective soft-switching ultra-high step-up DC-DC converter with high power density for DC microgrid application
DC microgrids are integral to smart grids, enhancing grid reliability, power quality, and energy efficiency while enabling individual grid independence. They combine distributed and renewable energy sources, reducing overall energy consumption. High-gain DC-DC converters are crucial for elevating voltages from low-voltage DC sources like solar panels and wind turbines in DC microgrids. This paper introduces…

Spatial chemistry of citrus reveals molecules bactericidal to Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus
Huanglongbing (HLB), associated with the psyllid-vectored phloem-limited bacterium, Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus (CLas), is a disease threat to all citrus production worldwide. Currently, there are no sustainable curative or prophylactic treatments available. In this study, we utilized mass spectrometry (MS)-based metabolomics in combination with 3D molecular mapping to visualize complex chemistries within plant tissues to explore…

Optimizing Gaussian process regression (GPR) hyperparameters with three metaheuristic algorithms for viscosity prediction of suspensions containing microencapsulated PCMs
Suspensions containing microencapsulated phase change materials (MPCMs) play a crucial role in thermal energy storage (TES) systems and have applications in building materials, textiles, and cooling systems. This study focuses on accurately predicting the dynamic viscosity, a critical thermophysical property, of suspensions containing MPCMs and MXene particles using Gaussian process regression (GPR). Twelve hyperparameters (HPs)…

Reconstructing SARS-CoV-2 lineages from mixed wastewater sequencing data
Wastewater surveillance of SARS-CoV-2 has emerged as a critical tool for tracking the spread of COVID-19. In addition to estimating the relative case numbers using quantitative PCR, SARS-CoV-2 genomic RNA can be extracted from wastewater and sequenced. There are many existing techniques for using the sequenced RNA to determine the relative abundance of known lineages…

Limits of pre-endoscopic scoring systems in geriatric patients with upper gastrointestinal bleeding
Upper gastrointestinal bleeding (UGIB) is a common cause of hospital admission worldwide and several risk scores have been developed to predict clinically relevant outcomes. Despite the geriatric population being a high-risk group, age is often overlooked in the assessment of many risk scores. In this study we aimed to compare the predictive accuracy of six…

Identification of genetic variants associated with clinical features of sickle cell disease
Sickle cell disease (SCD) is an inherited blood disorder marked by homozygosity of hemoglobin S, which is a defective hemoglobin caused by a missense mutation in the β-globin gene. However, clinical phenotypes of SCD vary among patients. To investigate genetic variants associated with various clinical phenotypes of SCD, we genotyped DNA samples from 520 SCD…

Hydro-chemical characterization and irrigation suitability assessment of a tropical decaying river in India
Water pollution is a major concern for a decaying river. Polluted water reduces ecosystem services and human use of rivers. Therefore, the present study aims to assess the irrigation suitability of the Jalangi River water. A total of 34 pre-selected water samples were gathered from the source to the sink of the Jalangi River with…

‘The mirror of the soul?’ Inferring sadness in the eyes
The eyes are widely regarded as the mirror of the soul, providing reliable nonverbal information about drives, feelings, and intentions of others. However, it is unclear how accurate emotion recognition is when only the eyes are visible and whether inferring of emotions is altered across healthy adulthood. To fill this gap, the present piece of…

Unveiling the potential of machine learning approaches in predicting the emergence of stroke at its onset: a predicting framework
A stroke is a dangerous, life-threatening disease that mostly affects people over 65, but an unhealthy diet is also contributing to the development of strokes at younger ages. Strokes can be treated successfully if they are identified early enough, and suitable therapies are available. The purpose of this study is to develop a stroke prediction…
