Optimizing wavelet neural networks using modified cuckoo search for multi-step ahead chaotic time series prediction [PDF]
Determining the optimal number of hidden nodes and their proper initial locations are essentially crucial before the wavelet neural networks (WNNs) start their learning process.

Analysis of co-firing biomass with South African coal in pulverised coal boilers [PDF]
In this study, the effect on the extent of emissions reduction with co-combustion of small proportions (0-20%) of biomass with coal in a pulverised fuel combustor, is investigated. Such emissions include CO2, SO2 and NOx.

Visual Recovery Reflects Cortical MeCP2 Sensitivity in Rett Syndrome
ABSTRACT Objective Rett syndrome (RTT) is a devastating neurodevelopmental disorder with developmental regression affecting motor, sensory, and cognitive functions. Sensory disruptions contribute to the complex behavioral and cognitive difficulties and represent an important target for therapeutic interventions.

Co-firing torrefied biomass for power generation : assessing the trade-offs of downstream torrefaction from a whole system's perspective [PDF]
This work explores the case of torrefaction of biomass at the final use location, which is a large-scale coal and biomass co-firing unit, instead of the usually researched case of upstream biomass torrefaction close to the collection area.

Fireside corrosion degradation of ferritic alloys at 600°C in oxy-fired conditions [PDF]
This paper reports the results of a study carried out to investigate the effects of simulated coal/biomass combustion conditions on the fireside corrosion. The 1000 h deposit recoat exposure (5 × 200 h cycles) was carried out at 600 °C.

Lessons Learned From a Delayed‐Start Trial of Modafinil for Freezing of Gait in Parkinson's Disease
ABSTRACT Objective Freezing of gait (FOG) in people with Parkinson's disease (PwPD) is debilitating and has limited treatments. Modafinil modulates beta/gamma band activity in the pedunculopontine nucleus (PPN), like PPN deep brain stimulation. We therefore tested the hypothesis that Modafinil would improve FOG in PwPD.
