Food patterns of First Nations adults in Canada: the role of ultra-processed foods, sugary drinks, and carbonated drinks in weight status

open access: yesFACETS
Indigenous peoples in Canada historically had nutrient-rich diets from their diverse food systems. Colonization and structural racism marginalized them through the dispossession of their lands and natural resources, leading to an inability to maintain ...

Graph‐based imitation and reinforcement learning for efficient Benders decomposition

open access: yesAIChE Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract This work introduces an end‐to‐end graph‐based agent for accelerating the computational efficiency of Benders Decomposition. The agent's policy is parameterized by a graph neural network, which takes as input a bipartite graph representation of the master problem and proposes a candidate solution.

A Physics Constrained Machine Learning Pipeline for Young's Modulus Prediction in Multimaterial Hyperelastic Cylinders Guided by Contact Mechanics

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Discovery, EarlyView.
A physics‐guided machine learning framework estimates Young's modulus in multilayered multimaterial hyperelastic cylinders using contact mechanics. A semiempirical stiffness law is embedded into a custom neural network, ensuring physically consistent predictions. Validation against experimental and numerical data on C.

Real‐Time Sampling‐Based Model Predictive Control Based on Reverse Kullback–Leibler Divergence and Its Adaptive Acceleration

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This study presents a new sampling‐based model predictive control minimizing reverse Kullback‐Leibler divergence to quickly find a local optimum. In addition, a modified Nesterov's acceleration method is introduced for faster convergence. The method is effective for real‐time simulations and real‐world operability improvement on a force‐driven mobile ...

A Multi‐instrument Recognition and Autonomous Tracking Control Method for Robot‐Assisted Endoscopic Adjustment

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
During lengthy minimally invasive surgeries, fatigue can cause surgeon tremor and poor endoscopic coordination. This study proposes a robot‐assisted endoscopic adjustment system. It employs a lightweight instrument detection model and a hierarchical multiconstraint controller for visual servoing.

Unequal weathering: How immigrants’ health advantage vanishes over the life-course

open access: yesJournal of Migration and Health
The weathering hypothesis implies that there is an interaction between age and race or ethnicity that results in marginalized groups experiencing a more rapid decline in health than the dominant groups.
