N─H or O─H Bond Activation With a Bicyclic Si4 Ring Compound

Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
The bicyclic Si4 ring compound with zwitterionic character reacts with NH3, H2O, and selected alcohols to give functionalized saturated silicon rings, siliconoid clusters with unsubstituted Si atoms, or simple 1,3‐addition products. The experimentally observed reactivity could be rationalized based on results from mechanistic calculations employing ...

Decentralized Federated Learning for Wind Turbine Bearing Prognostics Under Data Scarcity and Statistical Heterogeneity

Energy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
This paper proposes a decentralized peer‐to‐peer federated learning framework for wind turbine bearing remaining useful life prediction, introducing a virtual client paradigm in which statistical health indicators serve as independent feature‐level clients—enabling privacy‐preserving collaborative prognostics from a single physical asset under ...

Conditional Randomization Tests for the Specification of Interference Structure

Journal of Applied Econometrics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study proposes specification tests for interference structure in causal inference with spillovers. We focus on experimental settings in which the treatment assignment mechanism is known. To test whether a given exposure mapping adequately summarizes the true interference structure, we develop conditional randomization tests by utilizing ...

Impact of sterilization and chemical fertilizer on the microbiota of oil palm seedlings

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023
Soil nutrients and microbiota are known as essential components for healthy plant growth and crop productivity. However, limited studies have been conducted on the importance of soil microbiota in the early growth of oil palm seedlings (Elaeis guineensis

Efficacy and Safety of Melaleuca alternifolia (Tea Tree) Oil for Acne—A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

Phytotherapy Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Acne vulgaris is a common chronic inflammatory skin disorder that begins in adolescents and often persists into adulthood, with substantial psychosocial impact. Tea tree oil (TTO) has been explored as a topical treatment for acne, but clinical evidence for its efficacy and safety remain limited and inconsistent. This systematic review and meta‐

Intra‐Seasonal Crop Management and the Potential Benefit of Seasonal Precipitation Forecasts: Farm‐Level Embedded Risk Analysis in Ethiopia

Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT How large is the potential benefit for farmers from obtaining forecasts of total rainfall in the upcoming season? This critically depends on the local farm system and the crop management actions available to farmers to respond to the forecasts issued. Studies assessing the financial value of seasonal precipitation forecasts have so far focused

Trustworthy pneumonia detection in chest X-ray imaging through attention-guided deep learning

Scientific Reports
Pneumonia remains a significant global health threat, especially among children, the elderly, and immunocompromised individuals. Chest X-ray (CXR) imaging is commonly used for diagnosis, but manual interpretation is prone to errors and variability.

Efficient Dual Domain Decoding of Linear Block Codes Using Genetic Algorithms

Journal of Electrical and Computer Engineering, 2012
A computationally efficient algorithm for decoding block codes is developed using a genetic algorithm (GA). The proposed algorithm uses the dual code in contrast to the existing genetic decoders in the literature that use the code itself. Hence, this new

Silencing of juvenile hormone‐related genes through RNA interference leads to molt failure and high mortality in the spongy moth

Insect Science, EarlyView.
The feasibility of using RNA interference to control the globally important quarantine pest, the spongy moth. Targeting genes related to JHs play an important role in the growth and development of insects. First, the open reading frames (ORFs) of Ldjhamt and Ldjheh were identified and characterized, and the target genes were cloned and double‐stranded ...
