Short-Term Electricity Demand Forecasting Using Components Estimation Technique

Energies, 2019
Currently, in most countries, the electricity sector is liberalized, and electricity is traded in deregulated electricity markets. In these markets, electricity demand is determined the day before the physical delivery through (semi-)hourly concurrent ...

Non-linear association between aspartate aminotransferase to alanine aminotransferase ratio and mortality in critically ill older patients: A retrospective cohort study.

PLoS ONE, 2023
BackgroundThe aspartate aminotransferase to alanine aminotransferase (AST/ALT) ratio has been shown to be associated with poor clinical outcomes across various patient groups. However, little is unclear about the association between the two in critically

Urn models, approximations, and splines

, 1988
Urn models are used to construct polynomials which share many of the shape preserving characteristics of the Bernstein polynomials. Some of these urn models generate splines and one special model is shown to generate the uniform B-splines.

Bamboo Medical Application: A State‐of‐the‐Art Review

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
This review presents a structured classification of bamboo's current use in healthcare. It organizes applications into medical textiles and medical devices, with further divisions based on function and level of invasiveness. It also examines material utilization based on bamboo's structural role, highlighting how it supports both protective and ...

Prior Expectations Bias Confidence Judgments Through Parietal Alpha‐Band Modulation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Humans possess the metacognitive ability to estimate the likely accuracy of their own decisions through confidence judgments. Yet, whether prior information shapes confidence and the neural mechanisms mediating such influence, remain to be determined.

Transfinite Patches for Isogeometric Analysis

Mathematics
This paper extends the well-known transfinite interpolation formula, which was developed in the late 1960s by the applied mathematician William Gordon at the premises of General Motors as an extension of the pre-existing Coons interpolation formula. Here,

Multivariate tile B-splines

, 2022
Tile B-splines in $\mathbb{R}^d$ are defined as autoconvolutions of the indicators of tiles, which are special self-similar compact sets whose integer translates tile the space $\mathbb{R}^d$.
